ZoneAlarm Valuable Features

Akos Szirmai - PeerSpot reviewer
Application Development Specialist at Field consulting Ltd.

The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me. Whenever I download a file, whether it's from the internet, an email, or any external source, it immediately scans it. Currently, I use the automatic setup and self-learning features. I find it convenient that every couple of years when I completely reinstall my laptops and computer, reinstalling ZoneAlarm is a straightforward process. I don't need to reconfigure everything; I can use my previous settings.

What we have noticed is that ZoneAlarm presents updates regularly in a certain part, however, having many updates still means that the tool is not yet 100%. For the moment, it is fulfilling the necessary functions for which it was acquired and has not has provided us with anti-malware, ransomware security. This has helped us to prevent malicious attacks on our employees who have their own device and with this solution, we have maintained the continuity of the company without any penetration or theft of sensitive information. Its installation and configuration are very interactive however, there are some confusing points. That is where the documentation is not very clear and precise.

It has many features that are seen as an advantage, including mainly centralized administration that is offering us network security administration. We're also now identifying any incident.

It is quick and easy to configure. Even better, it connects to cloud services and provides analysis and investigation into events. If any malware attack or infection exists in the market, it will know it, thus giving us an extensive catalog of data with the analysis of any vulnerability. We have tried to establish, validate and manage each configuration that allows us to carry out a complete and efficient review of vulnerabilities.

Check Point gave us a small sample of its security potential through this Zone Alarm solution. Its characteristics that make a good product are:

The easy deployment of the security application on the company's equipment, both PCs with a Microsoft operating system, and mobile phones for business and personal use.

Malware and ransomware protection is really good for building manufacturer trust in our company.

Finally, it is a solution that is not as expensive as others, which is why it was accessible for the company.

This tool is very good, safe, and cheap. Security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way.

Apart from being very easy and very fast, during the implementation, the client does not perceive the application on his device, which makes it transparent. The users are very happy since it does not affect its performance.

Despite being a more limited tool, it is protected with all the advanced Check Point anti-threat technologies, which makes it an incredible tool.

  1. The software is completely free, but you could always buy & apply a license if you feel the need for it.
  2. Despite the name, ZoneAlarm Free Firewall is not just a firewall but has built-in Antivirus as well. The Antivirus databases are updated on a regular basis, and they also provide both on-demand and scheduled scanning of the file system and memory.
  3. Constant updates of the "software blades", per configured schedule.
  4. Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful. When it's enabled, all the scan/updates/alerts are suppressed, and I can enjoy playing without interruptions.
