Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

We were looking to upgrade our protection to our endpoints, giving us more of a forensics backbone into when something happens on a machine. The product can let us know what happened, where it came from, etc. Our primary use case is for more insight into what is happening.

We have a lot of mobile users who work on their laptops from home. Sometimes people travel, they'll go away and connect to hotel or airport WiFis. We had an instance where somebody connected to what they thought was free public WiFi, and it actually infected the machine. SandBlast was able to catch it, stop it, and change the files back. We then got a forensics report to determine what happened with it.

Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. The interface board is also easy to use.

We had existing endpoints, and it was an easy upgrade process.  

There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user). 

SandBlast's stability has been great. Once we had it implemented, I have had no problems with it.

We're a small company, so I don't have a lot of scale to discuss about it. We're less than 100 employees. 

I haven't had any problems with tech support for SandBlast. We have a good relationship with our vendor. Whenever we have any questions, they are able to get things answered for us or escalated quickly. There is minimal turnaround, as the tech support has been knowledgeable.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward since it was essentially an upgrade on the technology that we were already trialing. Getting to the next level took minimal effort. 

We did the integration with Tenea, who is a vendor that we have work with for a while now. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. I like product. 

I was not part of the decision-making process. I was just tasked with deploying the solution.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is used for protection.

The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM).

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for approximately one year.

The stability of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is good.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is scalable.

The support from Check Point Harmony Endpoint is excellent.

I rate the support from Check Point Harmony Endpoint a five out of five.

The initial setup of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is easy.

For 100 users of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, we only need one person for maintenance.

The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower.

I rate the price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint a four out of five.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is antimalware and antivirus software, and it also has features such as in firewall autoresponse and autonotification, autoprotection, definition updates, and policies that we can apply.

We have medium-sized companies who use this solution.

My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure.

It is also a stable and scalable solution.

Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time. The technical team or any product team should liaise with us and help to deploy the solution to the first few customers so that we can roll out to the rest of the customers.

They need to improve the licensing process as well so that it is easier for the end user. At present, we have to wait one to two weeks to get a license, which is not productive. The process is not very smooth or convenient for the end user because Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides two login portals. One is for licensing, and the other is for management.

In the future, I would like to the management portal and the licensing portal be integrated or changed to a single sign-on because that will be good for both the panel and the user. If they can make it very convenient for deployment and monitoring, it would be good.

If we could get technical support in Singapore, then it will be helpful for our customers.

I've been dealing with this solution for two months.

It's deployed both on cloud and on-premises.

The product is very stable.

This solution is scalable. If you have a server or any software deployment tools, you can just push from the server so that the users don't even need to install it on their machines.

Technical support needs to improve. Their response time needs to improve too. Also, the only way to contact technical support is through email or international phone calls (for us in Singapore).

The initial setup is much easier compared to that of other solutions because it involves emailing and letting the agent download and then deploy the solution. It's lightweight, not using a lot of system resources compared to the rest of the products. It is the next generation of endpoint agents.

The deployment itself can take a day.

Maintenance is not required because it depends on the policy that you apply on the Check Point portal itself.

Compared to the cost of other solutions, Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective. The cost is not very cheap, but it's fair.

The licensing process is not smooth and can take one to two weeks.

I would recommend this solution because the protection works well, and it is cost is effective.

They also have cloud-based management, so it is like a SaaS service, and we don't need to buy a server to host it and to implement any hardware just for running the management of Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at eight.

In our environment, we didn't have an "official" security system. After implementing the Check Point SandBlast Agent system, we have benefited from getting a strong security system that gives us stability and security on our internal network.

Security has been improved. We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons.

The most valuable features are the availability, the ease of checking current logs of blocks,  and the option to update the system easily. 

The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do. Ideally, it would be not only for this solution but for all of their systems.

I found that there is no Check Point online training center and I think that is something vital for most of us as customers.

I have been using the Check Point SandBlast Agent for a year and a half.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We evaluated Symantec before selecting Check Point.

On-premises

We have it on our endpoints.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization.

The security is its most valuable feature.

Administratively, it's easy to control.

The stability of the solution is good.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

We used a consultant, and he was awesome.

We have not yet seen ROI.

The company had this solution. I got put in charge of it, so it was already in place. I decided to keep it.

From the administrative side, it is easy to manipulate and control, and that makes it great.

Endpoint security is a client-server managed network protection program. It blocks unauthorized software, malware, virus etc from entering the network and each client machine. Can be set up company specific to block specific file extensions or other devices from accessing the network. It provides updates based on server settings, can perform one network scan daily and can be set up to scan per client machine setting. Any machine that has the software installed on the network is protected by the endpoint security. Logs are created per client and machine settings.

Endpoint security programs can be a bit pricey, but you are receiving basically the same type of protection from each software program. To upgrade from one version to the next can get very costly providing what type of equipment you are running the program on. I did not find that endpoint security was very compatible during the upgrade. I ended up spending a lot more money than budgeted due to compatible issues.

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.

I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective.

The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved.

In a future release, the solution could add more threat intelligence features.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for approximately three years.

The solution is approximately 80 percent stable. It can have some bugs at times and can show very unexpected behaviors.

The support could improve, there are long wait times, and the agents are not properly trained. The troubleshooting is complex.

There are a lot of complications in the implementation. There are a few bugs and there is not enough documentation.

My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a six out of ten.

An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN.

The solution is stable.

I have not had experience with technical support. 

The initial setup is very easy. 

The price is good. 

I am still in the initial stages of using the product, but I feel it to be very good. It satisfies all my needs and this includes the EDR, which I consider good. The solution gives good visibility when it comes to attacks. 

As the solution satisfies all my needs, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint as a ten out of ten.
