Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.
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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"It is a great, cost-effective, and stable security solution to opt for."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"Its most outstanding characteristic is its ability to achieve and define a line of security based on policies and identity."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects our company by warning us against clicking any malicious links and prevents our hosts from becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"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."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
 

Cons

"One challenge with Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it has a higher cost."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"The response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"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."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."

"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
