We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Malwarebytes 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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today's complex threat landscape."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution is not stable."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Detections could be improved."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Notifications are lacking."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
