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.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by helping to reduce incidents by catching threats early before users even noticed them, which saved us time and lowered risk across the board."

"Check Point Antivirus goes in-depth and looks for threats and malware - including phishing attempts."

"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 most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."

"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."

"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."

"It is very easy to manage the Antivirus blade, even for newcomers in our technical support team, which is a key area of interest for us."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

Cons

"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."

"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."

"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."

"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."

"One challenge with Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it has a higher cost."

"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."

"They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems."

"One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"The implementation is not easy."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"They should improve their user interface."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is reasonable."

"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."

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

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

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

"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"The product is very expensive."
