Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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 tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers top tier security, AI-powered threat prevention, and strong scalability, which stand out as the best features."
"It is a great, cost-effective, and stable security solution to opt for."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
 

Cons

"They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."
"In terms of improvement, the Endpoint Agent can be more lightweight so that older machines and laptops can easily handle its consumption, which would enhance the overall performance in our environment."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"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."
"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"It is very difficult to get ahead of what's coming in terms of new threats, however, I think that Check Point Antivirus must improve against zero-day attacks."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The pricing is high."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
