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.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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 is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The simplicity of management and remote assistance for the users make it a smooth experience, and administrators can easily handle tasks remotely."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"The forensics allows us to search retrospectively for an URL or file opened by users, for example, when you need to quickly check who else has clicked on a phishing link."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"After using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, we saw a 40% reduction in security incidents, especially phishing and malware attacks, and the response times to threats improved by around 30%, thanks to the faster alerts and automation."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
 

Cons

"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"More posting of user feedback is requested across all websites and Google so that more traction can be attained. Seeing reviews helps create more confidence with clients and partners."
"I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
"We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also."
"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."
"Performance and resource consumption should be reduced."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"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."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"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 price is good."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"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."
