Check Point Antivirus Reviews

We use the Check Point Maestro for data center firewalls. It has the ability to spread the load across multiple devices and still only have one source of management, which is incredible. Plus, everything duplicates across the firewalls without manual intervention.

We are currently moving from a flat network into this setup, and, with the amount of traffic that we are going to be sending through the firewalls, this is the only way it could have been done. 

Also, the product offers the ability to have little to no downtime during patching. 

This setup is a beast!

We didn't have anything before. This really creates a secure and fast solution. In order to be able to track everything coming in and out of our data center. We have a flat network and now that we are moving to this design, we needed something that can secure servers and users from each other and make sure we are only allowing what needs to be allowed and not allowing anyone to traverse the network maliciously. 

Also, we have no ability for downtime - so having this solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management.

Scalability is a huge factor. 

The need for no downtime is key for us - and this solution offers that. When you have six gateways you have to patch and no one even notices, it's phenomenal. 

We need to be able to keep these connections running 100% of the time. The fact that we can patch and reboot firewalls and no one even notices is a huge plus. We need to be able to keep it secure but also keep it up and running. 

Having the six gateways and being able to clone them in when we need a new gateway is excellent. I love that we are able to just put a new gateway in and clone it.

I don't really have any real suggestions for this to be improved. The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line. As we train new people and have fewer hands that touch these firewalls, having a good understanding of how CLI works and how to install patches and remove patches from gateways using this method is dying. So, being able to do it the same way we do all the other gateways would be excellent.

I've been using the solution for over one year.

I am very impressed. I didn't think anything like this would be possible.

It has the MOST scalability of any product out there. You can slam another gateway in and clone it and off you go.

We always have great support and service. I don't think any other vendor provides this level of support.

I have used Fortigate before, however, the management on Check Point is unrivaled.

The setup was slightly complex to begin with. That said,  once you've set up a new connection a few times it gets easier.  

We handled the setup with the vendor team. They are the best at Check Point!

I don't pay the bills, however, it's my understanding that there is an argument out there for ROI.

The cost is up there. However, when you are dealing with the best, you cannot really balk at pricing.

We did not evaluate other options.

Check Point Support is top-notch. You cannot beat their support.

Our primary use case is to protect endpoints.

The most valuable is encryption. 

We have some issues with encryption. The main issue is the red screen of death. Basically, it happened in previous versions of Check Point with encryption. When you install updates, not a specific update, but some Windows updates, the computer gets stuck. And it doesn't start. We were able to contact Check Point, and as a solution, they always say to use the latest version, but we are not happy with that solution. For us, it's not like a solution. 

Mostly, we work with the latest version. But that doesn't guarantee reliability.

It has another issue that we have at Check Point. Check Point has an antivirus with a Sandbox function. When you try to download some files, the sandbox gets confused with the sandblast. And sometimes you have to wait. 

So, there is room for improvement in terms of updates and with Sandbox and Sandblast. 

Another area of improvement is support. We faced some issues because of the language barrier. 

In future releases, I would like to see a nice feature in terms of encryption. When you want to decrypt a drive, it should be a little bit more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for three years. 

There is room for improvement in stability. The solution could be more stable. 

It is a scalable solution. We have around 150 end users using this solution in our organization. 

The customer service and support are really good. For basic support, it's good. But when you want expert support, it's not that good.

For basic support, you can talk to a person and understand the basics. I don't know if it's a language or a barrier issue or not. For example, you have an issue with your computer. When you call a call center, the first thing they would say is, "Turn it off and turn it on," or something like that. So, in that sense, they don't have problems. But when you want a more expert solution, like, "I'm having a problem with this specific update, and this happens. So, this sandbox issue, and this happens." They don't put you right away in contact with the experts. You have to insist a lot; at least, that was my experience.

I have worked with WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus. 

The initial setup is very easy. It was very quick; it took around five minutes. 

We deployed the solution ourselves. It is on the cloud, but the installations are made on-premises.

The solution was a little bit expensive at the beginning, but that's not Check Point's fault. It's an issue with the taxes. When you buy a product, they have a lot of taxes. So, it becomes expensive. But they actually made very good pricing. WatchGuard also gives good prices.

We have a yearly base license. The support is included in the license costs. 

First of all, be aware of the issues like the technical support. The solution is good. The product is good, but I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is not a ten because of the support. But if it weren't for that, it's a very, very good solution.

Check Point Antivirus is a one-stop solution for detecting endpoints and malware and diffusing them immediately upon detection. 

They are ranked the world's number four anti-malware tool with a high catchment rate of viruses and improved efficiency for a better outcome for small, marginal, and bigger organizations. 

Check Point Antivirus has received a lot of good peer feedback publicly, and this improves its transparency and credibility to a great extent. Its efficiency is worth welcoming, and due to its improved performance and no lags during functioning, it is highly recommended.

Check Point Antivirus has improved the overall efficiency of our laptops and other e-devices end to end, as now we can handle fast attack resolution against ransomware and malware. 

It monitors our network and devices throughout and brings the best endpoint protection for our systems and servers. 

The organization has significantly reduced and cut down on expenses due to the wide benefits of the software and also its sustainable use and requirements. It has helped organizations to scale properly without any issues related to malware and ransomware attacks

The speedy catchment rate of endpoints and malware is exceptionally good and act as a precursor for organizations in order to deploy this antivirus and secure the system and servers in a proactive manner without any trouble. 

It has an inbuilt AI system that helps in diffusing the virus in a proactive manner and protects the system from getting damaged at the worst level.

The pricing is also quite affordable for marginal organizations as well, and their improved efficiency is great. Signing and renewing of MoUs were not difficult at all. They are a good stakeholder to work with.

I strongly feel that the extension of the trial version of the antivirus should be extended with more features included so that new users may test the software at its best. A thoroughly informed buyer can make a decision in a sound manner which creates a win-win situation for both Check Point and the client.

They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all.

I've been using the solution for more than four months now.

The product is stable.

The solution is impressive and scalable.

We've had a great experience with technical support so far.

Positive

We did not use a different solution previously. Check Point is the best of all options. 

The solution is straightforward and easygoing in terms of the initial setup. 

We implemented the solution through the vendor.

The ROI is very good.

It is easy and straightforward to set up without any complexity. Licensing is easy to onboard, and there is no implementation trouble at all.

We did evaluate a lot of options. 

We looked into Cisco, Juniper, and Sophos. They were all carefully evaluated by my tech team before switching to this product.

Check Point should keep bringing and infusing in new features and functionalities. That will act as an edge against fellow competitors.

Check Point Antivirus has proven to be a savior. It helps in protecting our computers and other e-devices at endpoints from malicious ransomware, etc. 

It actively eliminates malware and protects the system from any potential damage. 

It is well-performing antivirus software that is absolutely different from traditional threat-combating antivirus tools. 

Conventional antivirus software is often not upgraded enough to fight advanced threats. Check Point Antivirus's performance efficiency is quite good and is highly recommended by peers.

Check Point Antivirus is an advanced antivirus software with high-performance efficiency and is continuously improvising its features and version to have better security enhancements at the end. 

They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability. It comes quite highly recommended. Everyone recommends it. 

Our organization used to spend a lot on data and system security. The cost of security was increasingly becoming relatively high and unmanageable. Our peers recommended trying the Check Point Solution, which felt great after using it. It is worth having this security software for businesses!

The high malware catchment rate is great and really commendable. The software is equipped with scanning all kinds of sources, email servers, and cloud servers for their endpoint threat and immediately diffuses and eliminates the threat source and threat points. It helps us to improve security scanning and also leads to endpoint management throughout. 

The software provides advanced security features like signature-based malware detection, which is widely used by organizations for scanning their code management and securing their code system end to end.

The other features, like real-time endpoint detection, help us with 24/7 scanning and monitoring of the system for ransomware, and can immediately remove them permanently. 

Everything is just great about the software. That said, a certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours. Small, marginal, and medium enterprises could also use a reduced subscription model so as not to pose much burden on budgets. 

Also, the cybersecurity trend is quite dynamic and changes every now and then. It would be really great if continuous upgrades and orientation and training on upgrades could be proactively arranged and organized by concerned officials from time to time.

It's been one year now since I've been using the solution.

It is a very stable software.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We started using Check Point. An earlier in-house-based local solution was used as an antivirus before that.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor only.

The ROI looks promising.

The setup cost is significantly lower for Check Point Antivirus. Its pricing is low compared to the majority of the competitors. Licensing is smooth and easy.

We evaluated McAfee, Trend Security, etc., before finalizing the usage of Check Point Antivirus.

It's a must-have security solution for all businesses and professionals as it is an advanced security solution with enough capabilities to improve cybersecurity enhancement for businesses. 

Check Point Antivirus helps restrict malicious threats and trojans from entering into the IT system and secure the system end to end. 

Also, its feature of endpoint detection and response helps business users to restrict any malware attack onto the system in more robust manner and stop any threat attack attempts.

It also secures the system in a foolproof way and boosts the performance to greatest extent. This result boosted productivity and improved outcomes for the organization as a whole. It is one of the best antivirus applications on the market currently. 

Check Point Antivirus has removed the endpoint threats in a more secure and structured manner. 

Also, its advanced malware detection technique helped strengthen the IT system's security and permanently remove any threat entrant from the system.

Through ThreatCloud, it helps in the identification and correct detection of potential malware entry into the cloud server and also provides immediate auto-remediation upon detection of any threat attack on the server.

It is one of the best security solutions in the market today. We highly recommend it to everyone.

The ThreatCloud is an amazing feature and helps in intelligent and proactive detection of threat attacks along with auto-remediation of the system.

The industry cloud and integration services with alert notifications are some really exciting features that helped in achieving flexible and strengthened security administration.

It addresses zero-day threats and next-gen viral threat attacks on the system and also has strengthened the security administration through a single management console.

The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent.

Competition is huge and is strongly advised to keep innovating the features and utilities so that it stands out in comparison to its competition in the market.

They need to have an extension of the trial period/trial version so that more startups and small, marginal, and medium enterprises can also be part of this without any hesitation.

I've used the solution for six to 12 months.

The product offers amazing stability features.

The scalability is great.

We've had the best experience with technical support.

It is highly stable in the most fragile environments. It never breaks down.

The solution is impressive and highly scalable 

Technical support is highly responsive and attentive to any of our service requests.

Positive

I have used the Quick Heal Total Security Antivirus solution in past and found the same little costly and ineffective in a few performance parameters which pushed me to switch from the earlier solution to Check Point.

It is an easy deployment with no tech detailing as things were crystal clear since inception and were not at all fussy.

We used a vendor team only. We had a good experience with them. I'd rate them five out of five. 

We've seen an ROI of almost 30%.

Always aim to optimize the setup cost, pricing, and licensing as any overboard in these costs can backfire on the organization and business can get adversely affected.

We also looked at Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro security solutions.

It is easy to integrate with all kinds of other software and hardware and works with cloud integration. We have no more tension around compatibility parameters as the software is quite stable and works efficiently across varied business environments. 

It is quick and agile and, with global scanning, it scans with great speed and works flawlessly in the background of the system without interrupting the front-end work

They could improve across many areas, like bringing in more customization and reducing the cost further. The price can be a restraining factor for many to adopt a new solution and leave an old option behind. 

More posting of user feedback is requested across all websites and Google so that more traction can be attained. Seeing reviews helps create more confidence with clients and partners. 

We demand more training orientation and quick upgrades in security parameters and utility features to have better exposure end to end.
