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.

I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my experience with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the best features it offers are forensics and incident analysis, which have helped us, and among them, anti-phishing is one of the most used features."

"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."

"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."

"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."

"It's easy to scale as needed."

"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."

"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."

"We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."

"The solution's initial setup is easy."

"The UI is very good."

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."

"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."

"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."

"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."

"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."

"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."

"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."

"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."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."

"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."

"The price is good."

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

"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."

"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."
