Pros
"Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud.""Check Point Antivirus automatically fixes pop-up ads and can effortlessly detect all kinds of threats while working in the background.""It is very easy to manage the Antivirus blade, even for newcomers in our technical support team, which is a key area of interest for us.""It generates enough visibility in terms of what happens on our equipment.""The virus detection models orchestrate real-time monitoring of data with reliable reporting information.""They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that.""Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network.""This solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management."

Cons
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner.""The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent.""An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher.""They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems.""Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation.""They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all.""Technical support could be better.""We'd like to see a friendlier user interface."

"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly.""The solution can improve the security modules.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed.""The product could always be more secure.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
  • "Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
  • "Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
  • "Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
  • "We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
  • "Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
  • More Check Point Antivirus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
  • "As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
  • "The solution gives the value for the money."
  • "Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
  • "Pricing for this software is competitive."
  • "I don't pay for a license."
  • "We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
  • "The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."

    Overview

    Check Point Antivirus is a robust software solution providing a dynamic next-generation group of applications that protect computers and devices by removing malicious software or code specifically created to corrupt computers or data.

    In today’s busy marketplace, malware is advancing so expeditiously that it is estimated a new malware instance is generated almost every second. It is widely understood that traditional antivirus solutions on their own are no longer sufficient as they once were to defend today’s organizations against risk and malicious threats. Therefore, to be competitive and value-added, most of today’s antivirus solution providers are developing new methodologies that integrate processes such as global scanning, alerting services, leading industry collaborations, human expert threat analysis, and secure cloud integrations.

    Check Point Antivirus Benefits

    Check Point Antivirus has many valuable benefits. Some of its most useful benefits include:

    • Prevention: Check Point Antivirus is able to protect an organization's gateway by prohibiting malicious attacks and thereby preventing any potential damage.
    • Real-time detection: The solution immediately scans and monitors files as they are accessed by your organization’s network.
    • Rootkit detection: Antivirus thoroughly scans and blocks all malicious code designed to gain administrative access to a machine or network.
    • Heuristic detection: This dynamic new protocol was intuitively designed to comprehensively scan for any suspicious anomalies that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses.
    • Signature-based detection: Although considered basic by many in today's endpoint security culture, signature-based detection is still a foundational part of antivirus protection. This necessary process recognizes malware by comparing code in a program to the code of known virus types that have already been encountered, analyzed, and recorded in your organization’s database.
    • Dynamic bot and malware protection: The solution has the ability to provide organizations with aggressive, robust protection. Check Point Antivirus uses both a pre- and post-infection protocol to ensure comprehensive multi-tiered risk prevention. All of this is easily managed in an extremely user-friendly interface.

    Reviews from Real Users

    “Check Point Antivirus is the best antivirus tool in the market currently. The malware and ransomware catchment rate of the software is just exceptional and worth recognizing and recommending to peers. We have been using the tool for quite some time now and must say that it's quite reliable and highly dependable. It ensures no malware or virus should make any kind of entry into the system and enables a virus-proof environment all over.” - Shyam N., Senior Consultant at EY India

    “Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud. We like that we can detect zero-day incidents, problems, or virus attacks inside or outside the organization. It's one of the most complex and integrated antivirus solutions. The value of analysis in real-time every time we are having an attack, vulnerability, or security breach is very helpful. Today, we want to have integrated solutions and quick solutions that will protect us mainly with new attacks and solutions that protect us from the hijacking of our data (ransomware).” - Hazel R., Administrative Assistant at Tecapro
