We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and NetWitness XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The stability is very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"Threat detection could be better."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
