Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.
Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
