User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Software Technologies Check Point Endpoint Media Encryption and Port Protection (Pointsec) is well suited for Microsoft Windows environment. While, for MacOS it is less appropriate. Incentivized Raj Kumar Jha Sr. Technical Lead Read full review	Microsoft Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is found to be well suited for our size company, and easily for smaller or larger companies as well. It does have a few places where improvements can be made, but at least it also asks you to provide feedback to Microsoft, which I have done with certain suggestions or complaints. However, overall it is a very thorough and useful tool when it comes to securing and defending yourself against trending threats. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Check Point Software Technologies Requires authorized passwords and logins from end users. Utilizes voiceprint recognition to validate users. Allows for a one time login from end users working remotely away from their desks. Incentivized David Hundley Collections Supervisor Read full review	Microsoft It has been seamlessly working for us. We have not faced any issue as an end user. I've not faced many issues around accessing my apps, securely accessing and I've also seen certain links being blocked if I do not have correct access based on the security level that is defined for each user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Check Point Software Technologies Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security. Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc. Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added. Incentivized Raj Kumar Jha Sr. Technical Lead Read full review	Microsoft I think it needs to be tuned correctly. For example, afterwards I tried to go in and print once after the implementation was done, I went in and tried to print a file or export a document. Just not possible, which just means it's great, works really well, but it also means that you have to tune your data categorization very carefully.

Alternatives Considered	Check Point Software Technologies Symantec Encryption, a few management points led me to evaluate and not go with it. Incentivized Bonn Chavez Senior Systems & Network Engineer Read full review	Microsoft Sentinel One. Well, we have two different products at the same time. Just see which one is the best fit for our business. So nowadays we're using both at the same time. Incentivized AM Angel Martinez IT Supervisor Read full review
Return on Investment	Check Point Software Technologies Stops Ransomware attacks Easy to manage Easy to deploy Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft The positive aspect is the security of the employees, security of the data.
