Support at a security firm with 51-200 employees
Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Has struggled with poor documentation and limited tuning options but supports basic protection needs
The major limitation of this product is that their documentation is very poor; their documentation is extremely poor. Their support is very poor for this product, and the solution is average. To be honest, it's not that effective. Their Threat Scan Engine has features that don't work properly; they have features that really don't work properly. Their solution provides writing style verification, but this solution comes with false positives 60% of the time. There is no way from their portal to fix it; you can either turn it off or turn it on. The solution has many bugs. I will recommend Microsoft first for replacing Trend Micro ScanMail, then Barracuda, but the problem with Barracuda is that for impersonation solutions, it doesn't work well. There are many features, but you cannot tune the product. Being able to tune a product is really important; such as adjusting settings to be aggressive, minimal, or to exclude certain things. These are the most important considerations when purchasing a product. When impersonation is needed, but there are false positives, there should be an option to tune the product. Barracuda and Trend Micro Deep Security lack this feature, which is pathetic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very stable; we are quite happy with the solution, and we have had very few issues with it."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"It has significantly bolstered our overall cybersecurity posture."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"The analysis part is good."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"Trend Micro ScanMail is scalable at different levels."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
 

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."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"It's not easy to investigate an incident that you find in the company. Users often face trouble when downloading files, so it is very slow in terms of how it works."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet. We don't understand why it sometimes fails."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint works well overall, but one area I would like to see improved is the reporting and dashboard experience."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."
"The price could be better. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"Even Trend Micro ScanMail support staff are not familiar with this product."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"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."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"It is an expensive solution. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Its price is okay. It is not too high."
"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."
