Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security

There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

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

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."

"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 standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."

"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."

"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."

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

"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."

"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."

"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."

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

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

"The UI is very good."

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."

Cons

"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."

"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."

"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."

"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."

"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."

"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."

"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"Lacks a mobile application."

"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."

"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."

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

"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."

"The price is good."

"The solution is too pricey."

"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."

"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."

"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

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

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."

"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."

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

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