Each product will have a unique set of advantages and different backgrounds, but when it comes to security, we are happy to go with Check Point Endpoint Security.The last installment of our Endpoint Security Series will be focused on Check Point ’s Harmony solution. The admin receives regular reports and each report says how many total Windows versions are there, how many Office instances there are, etc. Check Point Endpoint Security is easier for the administrator compared to Kaspersky, in terms of alerts and reporting. If you go with their Advanced plan, then that will collect all of the web confidence reports, many of which vary. One is the Select plan and one is the Advanced plan. If you compare Check Point Endpoint Security to Kaspersky, Kaspersky has two types of suites. If you have any intellectual property, then the financial investment will be worth it. If someone requires an encryption license, it is extra and not included in the base license. It could be a good solution because they have multiple ways to handle the licensing model. you cannot mix with a competitor's solution. Check Point Endpoint Security is not 100% compatible with Kaspersky and Symantec products.

With Check Point Endpoint Security, you can go with the Suite license or you can go with the individual Blade license. Would I go and buy this just as a standalone service if we didn't have Check Point firewalls? Probably not. But because it is a Check Point product and the licensing comes as part of it, it gives us this time to go and prove that, when it's together with all the other products that we have from Check Point, it certainly integrates very well. Would we go out to market and buy this on its own? Probably not, is the honest answer. Integration and deployment are probably the weakest points, and maybe service as well, although they are still at the high end. That's something that I've asked our account team to try to focus on in the next versions or as an enhancement request. But from what I've seen so far, I don't think there's enough integration into SmartEvent.

But, from our company's point of view, especially at this time in the market, the finances are just not there. We probably should have had more Professional Services come and help us. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve. We are working with the account team and trying. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We do like the product, although there are quite a few things that we're asking our Check Point account team to enhance, where we think we probably could get more features from it.
