Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

Easy to deploy, good price, low overhead, and keeps our Servers and PC's free of virus'
Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time. Although It requires more system resources than the desktop client, adding additional resources' ex. CPU and Memory don't seem to improve it. Its reporting can also be improved as the executive and patching reports are missing the ability to provide what groups of PC's are included in the reports. Also, It's great they patch some third-party software, but it is a limited list expanding this would be a huge improvement. I'm yet to see it properly handle USB Device control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"This comprehensive approach can safeguard your organization from a wider range of threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
 

Cons

"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"The price is good."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
