We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Forescout Platform 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."The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The stability is very good."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"Provides a good overview of all devices on a network."
"Forescout has a feature that blocks the endpoint at the point of collection. It sets preconditions and will block the system if those aren't met."
"Forescout Platform's most valuable features are that it is very granular. We are able to cull out a lot of information about our particular device or endpoint. The configuration and the visibility are very seamless. Overall the solution is very easy to handle and it's very comprehensive."
"The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"This is clearly the best product for the NAC use cases in this field for Forescout."
"I can integrate Forescout with products from multiple vendors in my environment, and also, the integration is searchable. It can be used with 802.1X and non-802.1X to integrate with my existing network. I don't need to upgrade any existing networks in my system, and I don't need to replace existing devices to integrate with Forescout. I find value in not having to spend money upgrading existing devices and networks."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"Check Point Harmony is definitely pricier compared to other endpoints."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"Forescout Platform needs to improve how the device works in preventing rogue servers."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"As a product, there is nothing to complain about. However, they should improve their overall support. You need that level of knowledge, that level of information is clearly not available. First and foremost, that information is not accessible. The second point to mention is that once you purchase the later support and services. That is, they will continue to charge you for every service."
"This solution is not that easy to scale but this depends on a company's needs."
"Can be expensive if it's only being used for one feature."
"Search - needs boolean functionality (or pseudo operand now working)."
