"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"It helps us to detect running malicious activity in our network and after the COVID situation, most users are working from home where it becomes very difficult for IT admin to maintain security so such type of solution definitely helps us to prevent cyber attacks."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."

"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"

"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."

"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"The interface has many issues."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
