Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"The cluster solution made our job easier any fault to the device will not halt entire internet connectivity."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"The most valuable feature for me is Identity Awareness."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"It is good when it comes to access control, which is the basic feature that we use in a firewall appliance or solution. Check Point is effective when it comes to security control and threat prevention."
"The global review and remediation of malicious code is probably the most valuable feature."
"The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low."
"You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks. It is beneficial in the GRC model."
"Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats."
"The solution blocks incoming threats on the local PC or any cloud-based threats."
"It is very scalable. There are approximately 2,000 endpoints and up to 200 servers in our company."
"It just runs in the background. I don't have to worry about, making sure it's Intelligence. So, you know, this kind of makes it very easy, have to worry about installing. It is easy to use."
"They have a very transparent roadmap for the product."
"Check Point could possibly lighten up the software code so that it is not as resource-intensive and will run more smoothly on a variety of hardware and cloud or virtual machine platforms."
"Check Point's hybrid cloud integration needs significant improvements. These resources need to evolve as data transfers to the cloud increase, so hybrid cloud models are easier to implement. Better hybrid cloud integration would improve how we manage our security logs and provide our administrators with a low-cost solution that enables them to meet all our essential requirements."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the documentation and good practice guides are updated. Many are still from R77."
"I would like for users to have more control over the platform in the next release. Right now, the system is very central and general requiring new rules to be created that better-suite our requirements."
"The usability of the solution could be improved."
"We sometimes have trouble with the performance of the solution. Maybe some performance tuning options could be added in a future release. There should be more visibility about which blade in your firewall is causing the latency."
"Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality."
"The solution could be more stable and precise because, at times, the threats detected are not legitimate."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"Microsoft itself is a major target for attacks and threats due to its size and popularity. That could be considered Microsoft's Achilles heel."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems."
"The price could be improved."
"The software is expensive."
"Having up-to-date documentation and real-time reflections in all portals would be beneficial to keep users informed about any changes. Additionally, the frequent changes in Microsoft's UI and the movement of features between different products in the set pose difficulties."
