    Check Point Harmony Browse is particularly well suited for protecting against the various zero-day attack vectors, which is what it is designed to do. It offers very good protection against users visiting phishing sites, malware sites, downloading or opening ransomware, and just generally providing the safety net required in a corporate environment against users visiting potentially harmful websites.

    IT works very well in the non-profit and small business space when there is a need for remote access or connecting several sites in a point to point VPN, user management and rule creation are very easy. The use of the MyKerio website for remote management also makes it easy to troubleshoot problems and make changes if technical staff are not onsite.

    Very easy to use and manage, user training takes less then 10 minutes. Technicians can perform basic tasks with less then an hour of training and can master it in under a year.

    Support is very slow to respond and it takes a long time to convince level 1 techs that you need to be moved up to someone more senior. I believe support is outsourced and they are graded on how few tickets they need to escalate to higher tiers so they will try to figure out a solution even if it is detrimental to the overall support experience.

    Alternatives Considered

    We were already in the Check Point ecosystem and therefore did not look into alternatives like CrowdStrike or Kaspersky. Looking back, Check Point stacks up very nicely with the competitors on the market in terms of features, but I can't speak to actual real work performance having not used the others.

    We found Kerio Control to provide the most features and easiest management of all the solutions we looked at, while cost was not the lowest the value was by far the best when you considered all the factors, costs, and manhours involved in deployment and management.

    • Easy to use makes it easy to train, reducing employee time and IT staff costs.
    • Statefull inspection and web filtering greatly reduce malware incursions.
    • Fact it can run on standard PC hardware greatly reduces cost to implement and makes scaling much less expensive.
