We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management and Check Point Antivirus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I'm a BeyondTrust partner and I have multiple deployments, four or five banks right now. The features that give us quite an edge compared to what our competitors are offering - like IBM or Thycotic - are the Session Management, that is quite a big one; also the recording of keystrokes. In addition, there is the password vaulting and state-of-the-art Password Management, which I haven't seen in other products."
"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"The most valuable feature is the asset discovery, which makes it very easy to locate and identify assets and pull them into the manager."
"The product is secure."
"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."
"Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
"It is one of the fastest malware prevention software with advanced upgrades to have 360-degree threat detection and system remediation."
"With Check Point, we can implement security measures to control access to the network and systems, which helps prevent unauthorized access."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"The virus detection models orchestrate real-time monitoring of data with reliable reporting information."
"It has a customer-savvy interface and easily customizable as per client and business requirements."
"Its most outstanding characteristic is its ability to achieve and define a line of security based on policies and identity."
"The tool comes with an in-built AI feature, which makes file management easier. It also secures the network from viruses, malware, and phishing attacks."
"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."
"They are doing good for now, but they should start to consider tight integration with Mac solutions. There should be more integration with Mac. There should be Active Directory (AD) Bridging. Thycotic and Centrify have it currently because they merged and joined forces, and it was a feature available in Centrify. So, basically, they joined forces to create a kind of perfect product. If you have a hybrid or mixed environment with Windows and Mac, your Active Directory can only manage or enforce policies on Windows, but what about your Mac devices? How do you control them? So, AD Bridging will act as a bridge to bring all your Mac devices into your Active Directory. This way you have full control over your entire environment."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved. It is a new cloud-based solution. So, many more specific reports can come out natively. Currently, we get all the events, and we put them in plug-ins. From there, we generate our own design of reports. If there is a much more solid or robust reporting analytics framework within the product itself, it would be helpful."
"There is room for improvement in having the solution align more with standards. We're always shoehorning the product into the standards. It's not that it doesn't work for standards, it does. But Quick Start Policies are pretty close to what we need. The vendor needs to keep looking at GDPR, 27001, and 27701. That's why our clients buy the product."
"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."
"There are three types of endpoints. If we need to use them in the solution, then we need to purchase the licenses separately. The tool needs to improve its licensing."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"Reporting and management could be improved."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"The antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption."
"A certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours."
"We'd like to see a friendlier user interface."
"They can improve the customization features to the greatest extent possible and also help bring automation into system security in the most unified manner possible."
"Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well."
"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."
