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.

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

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."

"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature is forensics."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."

"We have found the stability to be very reliable."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by saving me at least 50% of my time compared to previous SMB solutions because it effectively segregates devices and provides a clear overview."

"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."

"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"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

"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."

"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."

"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."

"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."

"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."

"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."

"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."

"While using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I find that the initial deployment can be a bit complex, especially for large or distributed environments, requiring proper planning and familiarity with the Check Point ecosystem."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"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

"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."

"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."

"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."

"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."

"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."

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