"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"The interface also makes it easy for us to configure the VPN from the GUI rather than the command line, which makes it easy even for less experienced engineers to work with."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"I love the URL filtering as well as the identification capabilities which link with the Active Directory and work for me even with bandwidth regulation. These allow me to select to whom to do what, and when."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"The layered architecture is really understandable and easy to use."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"Defender is a SaaS platform, so it offers more flexibility. Managing the permissions is easier. The solution's automated detection and response features are scalable."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a stable solution."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 helps people to work remotely. It is a secure solution. We don't need to use our company's computers or get VPN connections to the networks. I can control how they share screens and what they send to the devices. It keeps our organizations confidential and sensitive information safe."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"In the last version from 80.20, there are some issues around SSNA Diction. I would like this to be improved."
"SD-WAN functionality could be added."
"Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality."
"Installing a policy takes a very long time to complete."
"I've found the solution was a bit unstable."
"Check Point could improve by enhancing the networking in their solution in order to align it with the existing network architecture."
"They could offer educational courses to help individuals improve their knowledge and skills."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"The UI needs to be more user-friendly."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
