Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

The major use was to provide protection to the mobile workforce. It gives elaborated insight about what is happening, what kind of particular applications we have installed, and what particular application they are using, and protecting them from online phishing, and random virus attacks also.

The functionality is quite good. It can run well on mobile devices. 

You can also create profiles for individual mobile devices. 

It is easy to set up and implement. 

The product is stable.

It's very scalable. 

Mobile users are reluctant to actually use the solution. 

Check Point should focus on providing more compliant solutions, such as compliant for cloud-specific solutions. The digital footprint can be minimized, and then the Legacy VPNs can also be streamlined. As of now, most of the connectivity partners use Legacy VPNs to connect to their DC or their service partners. Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized.

I've been dealing with the solution for a couple of months at this point. My first project was last September and then I did another last December.

The product has been stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

They've been delivering solutions for 15 to 20 years and I can attest to, over the last ten years, never run into any issues in terms of stability.

The solution is very scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so - especially if a company is using a cloud-based deployment. 

So far, we have delivered two projects to clients. 

Technical support is good. We are satisfied with the level of support on offer. 

I've also worked with CrowdStrike, which I also like very much. 

The initial setup is straightforward. You simply need to deploy the agents onto mobile devices. The enrollment process would happen on the device. 

It's very flexible in that it can be a hybrid. It supports on-premises and cloud devices. 

In terms of the size of the team a company would need to deploy and maintain the solution, it all depends on the timelines that you have. A single guy, if everything is being managed, a single guy can deploy at least 50 to 100 Harmony Endpoint agents in a day. And if things are not going well, it may require more people.

We have different products in our portfolio and they all have their own specific costs. They also vary according to size and parameters.

The solution is automatically updated and therefore we're always using the most updated product.

I'd recommend the solution to others. They're one of the leading security solutions providers in the world.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

It's a very good solution and it is a complete endpoint security solution. We get almost all the features we need, including features like Threat Emulation/Threat Extraction, Antibot, Anti- Exploit, Anti Ransomware protection, UBA, Zero-day Phishing protection, Behavioral Guard,  Encryption, VPN, compliance, and many more. It's well integrated with Check Point Threat Cloud, as well as other Check Point solutions. The product provides complete visibility of threats with forensics analysis. There is direct Integration with all well-known SIEM solutions as well as the support of standard SIEM integration features.  

It improves our organization's security posture as well as endpoint performance. The single-agent has multiple features and we have no need to use multiple solutions for endpoint security. The required features are supported by Harmony Endpoint. During the pandemic, one of the major requirements is to connect corporate resources in a secure manner. It helps us with secure connectivity.

During the pandemic, the threat landscape has increased as every endpoint is an entry point for any threat and it is critical to secure. Every endpoint with advanced/latest technologies and Harmony Endpoints provides the same level of safety.

A single dashboard provides complete visibility over endpoint security.

The features available are all good. One of the best features is the Ransomware Protection Feature. It is great and is a way to protect endpoints. It protects as well as it saves original file copies to prevent data loss.

Zero-Day Anti-phishing detects phishing sites in real-time and prevents users from any data and other losses.

Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports. Threat prevention with an included detailed threat landscape is very good.

The VPN connectivity and compliance check are also very good features. 

Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required. I recommend adding this feature in an upcoming release as it will provide complete visibility of endpoint vulnerabilities. 

Endpoint Patching is another good feature that could be added and is required to mitigate vulnerabilities. 

Currently, the DLP Module is not available and it is one of the requirements from an endpoint perspective. It would be good to add in an upcoming release.

There needs to be improved integration with the on-premises/Azure AD.  

Software deployment needs to be added.

I've used this product for the last one and a half years.

It's a very stable product. It's easy to deploy and manage.

It's very scalable.

It's a good and technical team. They are very supportive and any help required by the development team receives some form of resolution.

Yes, we used different products earlier, however, due to the fact that the feature available is more advanced here than in others and there are lots of add-on features, we prefer this.

It's straightforward and not complex.

We implemented the product with the help of OEM and our in-house team. There were no major challenges during implementation or even in day-to-day operations.

A single Administrator can manage the complete solution. It's easy to deploy and does not require any additional effort. We're able to have multiple solutions within a single solution.

I strongly advise others use Harmony Endpoint as the deployment, integration, and setup cost less than others.

Yes, we evaluated other products as well but with respect to feature price and integration availability, we selected this product.

It's a very good product. Over the past year, the team has been improving it day by day and we're now more focused on endpoint security with the latest features on offer.

Currently, our servers are not protected by a working anti-virus solution that receives updates. These servers & particularly the business are at extreme risk of not only suffering a breach and losing data, but also have a high risk of infecting the rest of the subsidiaries owned by Tyrion.

The solution hinges on the following requirements:

• The ability to be completely managed from a Cloud environment, including the ability to download new signatures whilst not on the corporate network;

• The ability to generate reports based on set criteria (which can help justify the cost);

• Ability to generate alerts or notifications to an administrator in the event an infection is detected so that Security Incident Response can be initiated;

• Where possible, the tool should have the ability to complement existing tools sets, replace already existing toolsets, or bring something beneficial to the table to help strengthen the security posture;

Implementing a fully functioning anti-virus solution gave the company the ability to defend against almost all threats that occur either on or off the network. It has further given the security team the ability to respond to incidents quicker and perform root cause analysis easier, thus reducing the number of man-hours needed to fix a potential outbreak.

Additionally, it will also give the security team greater reporting capabilities to show the business the types of attacks it faces on a monthly basis. This is through a monthly report & it will help the business tailor security training to its end-users so that they can better defend themselves against these attacks.

The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner. This has found multiple dormant threats that have existed within the business that other anti-virus products could not detect.

In addition to this, threat extraction & threat emulation have been a big benefit to give the users more autonomy. For example, allowing them to release their own spam emails that were captured by our spam filter, knowing that the files that are released will be scanned and checked for known viruses.

The only two bug bearers of Check Point SandBlast that I have come across are as follows:

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 second is that getting useful "administrator" information requires digging into the policy rules via a second management agent installed on your computer. However, once installed, it is easy to navigate and use so is more of a slight inconvenience than a major issue.

So far, the Check Point SandBlast Agent is in the deployment stage, as we have only had the product for one month.

Stability-wise, we are 90% happy. If the web console could be made more stable, this would go to 100%.

In my opinion, this product is extremely scalable.

We have used multiple different anti-virus products including those by McAfee, AVG, and Kaspersky. This project was to centralize the AV to one single platform.

The initial setup is extremely straightforward. After engaging with Professional services and implementing best practices, we have had only one or two teething issues with the product, which can be easily resolved with a rule change.

Our in-house team implemented the tool with vendor support. Vendor support was extremely knowledgeable of the product and its capabilities

The number of man-hours saved administering multiple AV systems has been the biggest ROI.

Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k.

We looked at Kaspersky, CloudStrike, and VMware Carbon Black.

If you have never used a Check Point product before, I would highly recommend engaging with a Professional Services provider to help with the deployment of the tool & ensuring you implement the tool based on best practices.

Additionally completing the training for the Checkpoint Sandblast tool will equally achieve the same goals.

We use the solution for multiple purposes such as endpoint protection, organizational malware attack tracking and maintaining, blocking of IP addresses, domain and URL blocking, and prevention and detection, according to the purposes we follow. 

Check Point is the best in the marketplace for next-generation firewalls. In combination with Endpoint Security, it proves to be stable, error-free, and up-to-date with the latest fixes and solutions available. 

Earlier in our organization there was normally an antivirus which was used to check endpoint protection and policies according to what was applied. However, the detection of endpoints was not up to date with real-time analysis. 

There is a lot of gap in analysis. The malware reports and signatures were not updated in real-time. There was no blocking of Suspicious URLs or domains in real-time. As we using Check Point in DMZ. We purchased the license and implemented it in the UAT zone for the best outcome as per the organization's requirements.

The most valuable aspects of the solution are the real-time endpoint analysis and blocking mechanism, the detection of malware and threats is the best use of this technology. 

As we have the stability of this product and best practices solution is applied to the infrastructure as endpoints have a clear view of the statistics and performance. 

Also, we have monitored the server level where it's been protected from the outside world. The CPU, memory, and hard disk consumption and compromisation are good. 

The dashboard has also been user-friendly and easy to understand.  

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. As the EDR [Endpoint Harmony] there is a lot of enhancement in fixing the solution. We have observed some policies are not working as expected. We have observed a few cosmetic issues as well, however, it's fine. 

Minor release should improve the stability and overall performance of the endpoint solution. Consumption of the endpoint solution should have clear visibility on day-to-day operation tasks that are being carried out also we should monitor the malicious IP address and URL for blocking the same.

I've used the solution for four or more years.

The stability is the best in the marketplace.

The scalability is the best in the marketplace.

Their technical support is the best in the marketplace.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We handled the setup with an in-house team. I'd rate the experience foud out of five.

The ROI witnessed is the best in the marketplace.

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. It's a good EDR and the cost is minimal.

We did not evaluate other options.

We were looking for a solution as complete as possible to replace the existing antivirus and, if possible, integrate it with other products that we have, such as the CheckPoint firewall.

We decided to use the Check Point SandBlast agent to prevent ransomware on users' computers.

We subsequently expanded the scope of the solution to detect malicious activity on our network.

It is a very complete product but you have to know how to parameterize it well to avoid high CPU consumption.

It is also missed that it does not have a client for Linux.

Check Point SandBlast Agent allows us to centralize all the security software used in a console and avoid, mainly, ransomware in the company.

Many of our users have laptops to carry out teleworking, with this tool we can secure their web browsing, and in the event of suffering some type of attack, the computer is notified by SandBlast Agent and provides information about it and the security actions carried out. It even allows you to restore files modified during the attack.

You also have the option of performing a forensic analysis of the infected computer by providing a lot of information.

What we liked the most about the product, apart from detecting any attempted attack, is the graphical interface.

The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers.

We also highly value the anti-ransomware functionality, which creates a copy of the files on the computers and in case of infection by ransomware is able to restore them to a date when the computer was not infected.

It is a very complete product but you have to know how to parameterize it well to avoid high CPU consumption.

SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again.

It is also missed that it does not have a Linux client since some administrators use this type of operating system.

I have been using SandBlast for over 1 year now.

It is a very mature product that provides great stability in service.

It is a very mature product with good performance. Currently we have not needed to use its scalability.

Our experience with customer service and support is very good, the support is totally professional and responds quickly.

Positive

Previously, we used third-party antivirus software and switched to Check Point SandBlast Agent for its ease of integration with other Check Point products and to improve protection against ransomware.

Initial setup is easy, policies and user groups are defined and then applied. Then we adjusted the policies until we got what we needed.

We implemented it with an internal team and when we had doubts, we consulted the manufacturer's support with a totally satisfactory result due to their great experience.

Currently we have not quantified our ROI but we have avoided the loss of information on user computers due to viruses, ransomware, ...

The cost of the solution is similar to other products on the market.

We have been evaluating other products, such as Bitdefender and Broadcom (Symantec Enterprise).

It is a very complete product but you have to know how to parameterize it well to avoid high CPU consumption.

It is also missed that it has no client for linux.

In our organization, we are creating Trusted, Untrusted, and DMZ zones. 

We use URL filtering, antivirus and threat prevention, as well as detect and monitoring of all the outside traffic that enters the organization. 

It downloads the latest signature from the Check Point database for anti-malware and it keeps my laptop clear from malware files and attacks. 

We are now able to regularly scan after implementing this product and now we feel happy. In many ways, it made us feel safe. 

We have installed this tool for every user.

The Harmony vendor is excellent at providing various features and updates regularly. 

The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices. 

It secures our organization from attacks from ransomware, malware, et cetera. 

The most important feature is the file scan capability. It saves us from attacks by modified files. In this way, we secure our internal traffic from outside attackers.

The below features are most valuable:

1) Anti-malware

2) Threat protection with signature

3) Anti-ransomware

4) Anti-phishing (support for all leading browsers)

1) Anti-malware (to detect and prevent malicious activity)

2)  Threat protection with signatures to prevent the threat on the basis of a signature. Signatures are stored in the database. 

I would suggest that the Check Point team always allocates an SME to all the vendors before implementation. This will help when the endpoint agent cannot integrate with another product or third party. It could expand the functionalities too. In addition to security functionality, they could incorporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities such as remote device management, administration of installed applications, et cetera. 

The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks. 

I have used this product for the last two years.

We did not use a different solution previously.

The setup is somewhat complex the first time, however, it is not too complicated or difficult.

We implemented this product as per the organization's requirements. We did it ourselves.

Our ROI has definitely improved after installing this product.

It is a fair price and according to the quality of the product offered.

Harmony Endpoint helps the company to protect devices from phishing attacks. 

It offers instant notification when it senses any form of external threat that can compromise data. 

It can be easily deployed on both mobile and desktop devices. 

The product has saved my team a lot of time and resources during the project implementation process. 

It responds quickly to data threats that can leak internal information into an unsafe environment. We have accomplished many projects and submitted them successfully to our clients without any challenges since deploying Harmony Endpoint.

This solution provides threat intelligence to all sectors to enhance effective planning and decision-making before we get into trouble. 

It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure. 

Real-time monitoring provides essential tools for security configurations that cannot be interfered with by ransomware attacks easily. This is the best solution, far from other related software in attack prediction and threat analysis. It is cloud-based, and teams across the organization find it to be more flexible for real-time analytics.

Network monitoring provides the best reports based on real-time performance, which helps our members locate any drawbacks across the workflow system.

The threat response system from the user dashboard blocks malware attacks that can affect email and the flow of information among colleagues. 

Endpoint protection is fundamental in security enhancement; it's effectively protecting our devices from internet viruses.

The application investigation system enables the IT team to come up with reliable reports on the cause and prevention measures that can be adapted to prevent any future attacks.

The system has comprehensive data management features that have saved us from incurring unplanned losses. 

Timely updates and suitable configurations can block malware attacks and provide effective reports on security situations. 

The setup process was complicated, however, when the customer service team came in, they provided productive guidelines that have kept the system working efficiently. 

The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis.

I've used the solution for 18 months.

This platform is highly stable, and the performance is awesome.

The scalability has impressed all relevant teams.

The customer service team is passionate about their work, and they provide timely responses.

Positive

I have not worked with other related products.

The setup was straightforward. We had assistance from the customer support team.

implementation took place through the vendor team.

The targeted ROI has been achieved since we deployed the application.

The setup and cost depend on the number of devices that have to be secured.

I evaluated Intercept X Endpoint. However, it did not impress the entire team.

I am satisfied with the current performance and I thoroughly recommend Harmony Endpoint to other business enterprises.

We use the product for endpoint protection against viruses, malware and ransomware technologies.

The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection.

The price of the product could be more friendly. 

I have been using the solution for one year now. 

We have had no problems with stability so far. 

The solution isn't very scalable, it's a PC, and it's all endpoint. 

Currently, there are 2000 users of this product in my company. This number can change in the future due to company growth. Next year, each employee at the company will have a notebook and each notebook will have this software installed in it. If the headcount increases, the license will increase accordingly.

We previously used McAfee for endpoint protection, it was a corporate decision to switch. This could have been due to a cost or technology issue. 

Installation is straightforward, it took our IT department 20 minutes. 

The product has very fast deployment, as we roll out the product in batches. These batches can vary between one and hundreds. This number depends on how the team schedules the roll-out, as each roll-out is customized to match the bandwidth requirements.

We used an in-house team to implement the solution. 

We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs. 

I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over this solution. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
