We performed a comparison between BigFix and Check Point Harmony Endpoint 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."he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Servers are patched more consistently than they have been previously."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"Patch Management for a variety of operating systems makes it valuable as we can rely on a single tool for obtaining patch compliance of the entire compute infrastructure."
"The patch management and the BigFix Inventory have been the most valuable features."
"I like the inventory and life cycle management feature."
"In terms of vulnerability management, it gives tough competition by providing a single management console with multiple benefits."
"The most valuable feature of BigFix is the software deployment."
"BigFix is incredibly fast and accurate in patching, reporting, and remediation."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today's complex threat landscape."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I'm looking for them to make big web UI improvements."
"The product lacks AI, ML, and IIT."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"They need better integration."
"The sub-capacity licensing was a challenge for some of it. We had trouble getting it to calculate right."
"We're a partner, so we deliver technical support to customers. When we need to talk to the product support, traditionally, with the product over the last five years, I would not say support has been supportive. I hope that changes."
"It can be improved speed-wise. They can make it a little bit light. If you do any query for servers in bulk, it can take some time. Similarly, creating a job can take some time."
"I would like to see for it to be a little easier for new users to be able to learn and create relevant statements. In my opinion, that's the hardest part for bringing on new people that haven't had BigFix experience. Being able to have easier ways to build relevance in ActionScript would be the biggest improvement I'd like to see."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
