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

"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The product is stable."
"The technical support is good."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"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."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"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)."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
 

Cons

"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"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."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"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."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"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."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is too pricey."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
