There are so many useful examples a normal office could take advantage of. It's a great product for working from home or remote users. The Check Point team is also great and has served us by helping put in place the right kinds of products.

In this digital ecosystem, we need to secure our data at every moment and have something in place, like SandBlast, to keep our networks scanned at each moment. You never know where the next attack is coming from: malware, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, etc. Therefore, we need to be on the lookout for these type of attacks and any other unauthorized URLs trying to get into our systems to access data for any purpose.
Have a system in place to keep your data secure. You should definitely give SandBlast Agent a try. It is worth it. The solution is very secure and has very impressive features.
I would rate this solution as an eight out of 10. We are very impressed and happy with the features, its stability, reports, and the parameters covered in the reports.
View full review »Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a really good endpoint security solution because it comes as a full package. With the solution, there are not many additional costs for add-on features, especially when compared to the costs of the add-ons offered by other solutions in the market.
I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Features like factory remediation, basically callback, are getting familiarized by Sri Lankan customers. Many have bought Harmony endpoints, so many customers have been considering Harmony Connect. This will lead to it having a good future.
When speaking to customers, I first communicate what ThreatCloud is all about. ThreatCloud is shared by other solutions like CloudGuard, Quantum, and Quantum Spark. It's very common to them. This means you will get the prevention blade, not the detection blade. Whenever you have phishing attacks, malware attacks, DDoS attacks, and even zero-day attacks, they are all always prevented by Check Point Harmony and Check Point products.
I always advise people to go for an advanced endpoint because IT managers have less of a hassle when using products like Check Point.
I have been facing lots of competition with CrowdStrike and Kaspersky. I don't think other products should compete with Check Point Harmony Endpoint because it is a different level endpoint altogether. I want to give them competition with the pricing.
I rate Check Point a nine out of ten.
View full review »It is easy to integrate Check Point Harmony Endpoint with other vendors.
Check Point Harmony Endpoint is easy to implement. I recommend Check Point Harmony Endpoint to other users.
Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a good product. Check Point Harmony Endpoint and SentinelOne are the only two products that can compete in the endpoint space.
Majorly, we push Check Point Harmony Endpoint to our customers. Other than Check Point, if something comes up, we go with SentinelOne. We only sell CrowdStrike when the customer asks for it. We position Check Point Harmony Endpoint and SentinelOne depending on the customer's requirement.
Sentinel One has a bit better breach prevention rate. If a customer needs a consolidated security solution and anti-ransomware protection with ransomware 2.0, then Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the best solution over SentinelOne.
Overall, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint ten out of ten.
Overall this is a great solution with a lot of benefits and ease of use.
View full review »I don't think Check Point Harmony Endpoint is difficult to maintain. I think there is a possibility of scheduling your updates in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, even if you want it to happen outside your working hours, like somewhere between eight o'clock in the evening and midnight. I don't think maintenance is stressful because it can be scheduled outside of working hours.
I would recommend others to use the product since the deployment process is seamless, so you don't need any specialized skills to use the portal provided by Check Point to monitor your devices. There are no specialized skills required to support or maintain the solution. It is also very easy to implement the product. You can keep a tab using the centralized portal offered by the product. In general, the product makes the life of the IT department easier since you need not worry about a lot of the technical stuff related to the solution.
From my point of view, I need to put in extra effort to convince my company's customers to use the solution. In terms of the features and the product's ability to deliver the promised value to its customers, especially when compared to other solutions in the market, I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

In case you want to set up the solution on-premises and you want to deploy multiple policy servers, it is complicated. You will need an OVF to be deployed at each location and sometimes, organizations don't have the compute or supporting platform for deployment.
Also, for connecting remote users there is a dependency on the VPN, hence it's again a challenge for users to connect to the policy server for updates.

View full review »Currently, this software stands out as one of the top choices in the field. It's undoubtedly a strong contender for enhancing computer security, and while there are various other products available, this one ranks among the best.
I recommend the solution, but I would rate it a six out of ten, mainly because the software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers. It tends to impact system efficiency, especially on computers with weaker hardware, causing frequent restarts and putting a significant load on the CPU and memory.

What we've gained is more of an understanding of what's on our network. If I were to go and do this again from scratch, I probably would have looked to integrate more with our Check Point sales team and would have gotten more help from them.
My advice would be to involve your SE. He can help you through a lot more of the options when you deploy.
We don't use the solution’s Management Platform for the creation of virtual endpoint management services in the cloud. We haven't got to that cloud point yet. It's something we could do, potentially. We're going to work with our account team about that. But that's the one of the lessons learned: We did it by just playing around with it rather than doing a full deployment.
I would rate it at nine out of 10. What comes to mind is its effectiveness. Normally, I don't get involved in the costing too much. Is it doing everything that it said it was going to do? Yes it is, at the moment. Could it be enhanced more? Sure. But we have a relationship with Check Point and they do deliver on the RFEs for us. If we say we want it to do this, they'll get their engineering team looking at that.

We're customers of Check Point.
I've been working on setting it up and migrating users from the on-premise platform since January of this year. This is their Cloud Endpoint, VPN Management Station versus their on-premise VPN Management Station for Endpoint. We had to migrate the users from the on-premise version using a special tool that you have to ask them to make, which is kind of weird, however, their product is so new that that's the way that they do it. I had to deploy that tool to all the users in our company and that switched them over to their Cloud Management Station.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. There's room for improvement, however, I respect it and it works well.

TonyPegrum

It's very basic from what I see. It's not a full MDM solution and it's restricted with other MDM provisions. If you want to use an MDM with it to do other things like your email provisioning to mobile devices, you don't have very many options. I think it's AirWatch, MobileIron, Intune, or SOTI: only the most expensive products. If you want to look at something a little bit cheaper, you've got to pay through the nose. You can't have a cheaper solution as an MDM and run this concurrently. That's why they need to look at integrating with more MDM vendors.
Other than that, it's okay. It does what it needs to do and it's going to tick a box that protects me for the next 12 months until I'm ready for the next project, which I am not yet. I'm one man trying to deal with 140 users across five different countries. So, I'm flat out and I don't have some time to do all the other bits.
The biggest lesson I learned is just because it's expensive, it's not always the best. If you want it to integrate with other products, though, you've got to pay a lot of money for other products as well. That's the only issue that I've got with that.
I would rate this solution as eight out of ten, purely because there are additional features I'd love to see, but that is it. If you're doing it on the deployment side of things, I'd give it a ten out of ten. If you're looking at the product as a whole, however, there are a few things I think are missing, but only as additional features. Nine out of ten other customers would probably give it a ten out of ten because they don't need the features that I need. For me personally, it is a little bit empty in certain places. There's so much more they could do with that to make it the most awesome market cornering product there is, but it's not there yet.

The anti-malware we found very good on Check Point Endpoint Security. Mainly we observe the overall deployment and then maintenance is easy. It is only one click and you can deploy everything.
Whoever wants their data secure, and they want to have peace of mind, make sure to go with the anti-malware capabilities on the SandBlast Agent.
We consider Check Point Endpoint Security to be one of the best systems for SAP.
The zero-day anti-exploit solutions should be there with Check Point Endpoint Security. Because of the budget, people keep the software, but my advice is that it is also a must-have software. You should have SandBlast Agent along with the anti-malware capabilities installed.

We are a reseller.
My advice to new users would be to reconsider installing administration servers on-premise. The cloud solution can do it. It's going to lower the maintenance costs. Also, if you are on-premises, you often need some sort of expert on-side, whether it's a vendor or someone else - especially if you are upgrading. That requires knowledge. In contrast, on the cloud, everything is done for you. They have a high availability network so that when you upgrade the servers can keep up. You can upgrade without downtime if you choose the cloud.
I would rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

All in all, endpoint security does the basics of blocking unauthorized software, malware, virus, etc. It is client/server based software. Works good unless you need to upgrade then compatibility issues may arise. Would recommend for any user. Runs behind the scenes, and the scans are designed to run without effecting a user ability to work on their pc.

Endpoint security is implemented on client-server network model to ensure that end devices in the network are totally secure before having access to the network.
Endpoint security can be implemented as a firewall or an anti-virus program that can be configured to include intrusion detection properties. It is also used in cloud computing and can be hosted or used on-site. It is a very flexible and efficient form of desktop security and I have used it for a very long time.
