Featured Reviews

Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.
Abel Browarnik - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
 

Cons

"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The price is good."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
