Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 23, 2025
Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Symantec Endpoint Security Complete both compete in the comprehensive endpoint protection category. Check Point seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced threat prevention capabilities and integration within a broader security ecosystem.
Features: Check Point Harmony Endpoint includes advanced anti-malware, anti-ransomware, and threat emulation. These features integrate with Check Point’s security ecosystem, providing threat intelligence and robust logging. Symantec Endpoint Security Complete offers strong security features, including a firewall, sandboxing, and live updates to maintain threat protection.
Room for Improvement: Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by enhancing remote access capabilities and better integrating with other security tools. Users report high resource consumption and complexity in policy management. Symantec could benefit from a streamlined deployment process, improved mobile device compatibility, and added EDR/XDR functionalities. Both could improve in pricing and licensing simplicity.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Check Point Harmony offers flexible deployment across various environments, with generally helpful customer service. However, some users report long wait times and insufficient trained staff. Symantec supports multiple deployment models but lacks Check Point's flexibility. While customer service is competent, delays can occur especially with license renewals and support outside business hours.
Pricing and ROI: Check Point Harmony Endpoint is noted for a good cost-benefit ratio, especially bundled with other Check Point products, but can be costly. It delivers positive ROI through reduced security incidents and better efficiencies. Symantec Endpoint Security Complete, though effective, is seen as increasingly expensive for smaller organizations with additional costs for features like cloud and URL filtering. Both solutions provide positive ROI, with Check Point’s efficiency gains and reduced false positives as key advantages.
