Featured Reviews

Raxit Manandhar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened threat prevention with real-time updates and improved endpoint visibility
What I really appreciate about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its integration with ThreatCloud AI, which is connected to more than 50 million endpoints globally and includes Harmony Browse, Next Generation Firewall, and CloudGuard. If a single incident occurs, it takes action and updates in the ThreatCloud, with every agent updated within five to ten seconds. Check Point Harmony Endpoint works great because we have not had any incidents up until now, which makes it a great product. Regarding reporting and incident reporting with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, it provides a collaborative report of all information and what has been blocked, which is very readable for any end-user in simpler language, making it accessible for both laymen and security analysts. Currently, we have seen a positive impact from Check Point Harmony Endpoint, but I have received complaints from most of my staff that it is resource-intensive. Otherwise, I would say this is one of the best products I can recommend when considering security.
Amey Darekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers centralized security management and flexibility
The improvements required in the product depend on how it is used, meaning it can be used for endpoint security or email and collaboration security. The web gateway is used along with anti-malware, advanced protection, URL filtering, application control, and data protection. I don't have any improvements to suggest in the tool as of now, and not at least for now, as per my security assessment. There are certain concerns with the product's stability, so it is an area where improvements are required.
