Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

An easily integratable solution that helps scan files
I recommend leveraging the data and using case transcripts to understand how the tool can address your needs. Additionally, testing the solution in your environment can be helpful. If we keep it updated and ensure that the engines and the latest definitions are up-to-date, the solution functions without problems. It continues scanning without any delays. I rate the product an 8 out of 10. With OPSWAT Filescan Sandbox, we can scan various file types, including IOCs, Python compressors, and QR codes from images. All the configuration settings are user-dependent and can be modified over time. It's highly configurable—you can easily navigate to the console, click on any option, and quickly adjust settings, including the default size.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"Check Point Antivirus is capable of scanning files uploaded from the internet or running through the network via Check Point gateways/clusters."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint because it is an easy solution to implement and a good solution overall."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The best features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint that stand out the most for me include the anti-ransomware protection, which detects abnormal encryption behavior, stops it instantly, and restores affected files, preventing downtime for the users."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"What I find most valuable about it is the design interface."
 

Cons

"Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation."
"An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved in a few small areas, such as making the initial setup and onboarding more intuitive for new teams, providing more flexible custom reporting options, and reducing the performance impact on older devices."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"There is room for improvement in detecting more sophisticated and emerging threats."
"My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product."
"There's a size limitation, allowing us to scan only small files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"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."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The tool is free, but there's a size limitation, allowing us to scan only small files."
