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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most outstanding characteristic is its ability to achieve and define a line of security based on policies and identity."
"Since we started using it, we've seen fewer security incidents, faster response times, and better protection against ransomware."
"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted our organization by protecting our systems and computers, saving time, costs, and preventing data loss."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include complete visibility and a single dashboard where I can see everything for all employees."
"There is almost no impact on the security Gateway/Cluster performance after the activation of the blade, especially if you don't scan nested archives."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include fantastic forensic visibility along with a broad feature set that covers anti-malware, UBA, anti-phishing, and host-based firewalls, all centralized and easy to use through a cloud tenant."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The security features are very valuable."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

Cons

"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"A certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours."
"The pricing for Check Point Antivirus is a bit higher compared to other vendors or standalone antivirus options, and my request to the company is to consider reducing the licensing costs."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"Overall I didn't personally face any issues while implementing Check Point Antivirus."
"The technical support could be improved."
"We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
