Check Point ThreatCloud vs. Webroot Endpoint Protection

If you have the Check Point environment and want to utilize the Checkpoint environment, you should use the [Check Point] ThreatCloud. Without [Check Point] ThreatCloud, there’s no way to stop the 0days or APTs. However, [Check Point] ThreatCloud relies on the Checkpoint infrastructure to be used and integrated. If you have other firewall and/or endpoint vendors, [Check Point] ThreatCloud is not the best service to be used. Checkpoint also offers 24x7 threat cloud-managed security services to [...] organizations. Threat cloud-managed security services leverage the threat cloud decreasing the detection time and false-positive rates via increasing protection rates.

The software tends to do a good job of basic protection but is not the best for larger clients and is not as powerful as some others offered on the market today. The support is not the best either, have had a hard time getting assistance in the past trying to resolve issues.

• It is very light weight and does not tax the computers resources
• Has a quick scan and does not take forevere when scanning
• It's central management on the web makes it easy to use and gives tons of control for Admins

• SOAR integration, Checkpoint does not have built in SOAR
• Automation throughout the findings of [Check Point] ThreatCloud
• Special team for threat intelligence
• K8s threat cloud integration and K8S forensics

• There are several configuration options for both end-point and DNS protection. Would like a more simple way to understand and validate settings.
• Support is heavily video or FAQ based although you can submit a Support Ticket. Would like more availability to an actual support engineer.
• Overtime you can forget how to change setting - a refresher course would be nice, especially as new features are added to the solution.

It has proven successful so far in our environment for controlling malware/virus outbreaks.

Webroot Endpoint Protection has been great for us, as its simple, cloud-based management console allows us to quickly deploy easily monitor all of our endpoints. However, it could improve by offering more customizable reporting options for deeper insights into security events and the interface could also use some updating, as it feels a bit dated.

Support has been reliable up to this point. A request can easily be generated via the console and support responding in a reasonable time. We have not had any major issues other than the basic agents not communicating with the console and the like.

I had some difficulties with remote users. I ended up needing to open a remote tech support session and finish the process. Other than a few speed bumps, I was impressed with the engineering of the install. Because of time differences, I was done installing in two days. The cost, per license, could be less.

As Checkpoint next generation firewalls were already implemented in the network, ThreatCloud was easy to implement and had better features and reputation than competitors

Webroot is good in a way that it is an all encompassing solution one stop shop for protecting endpoints but it needs to be managed and licensed. Some users do not need constant protection or need to have it on their machines in where the combination of Field Effect and Malwarebytes is more effective.

• High score rates [are] seen on breach systems after deploying systems integrated with [Check Point] ThreatCloud
• Catch rates are very high compared to other vendors
• One missing thing is the detection for localized URLs and IPs
• Purchasing within the 3-year perspective is cheap compared to other solutions; ROI is generally six months
• [Check Point] ThreatCloud eliminates the need [for] other additional services that may need to be deployed like dedicated IPS, Dedicated Sandbox, DNS solution, etc.

Incentivized

• The DNS filtering allows for a very granular configuration of endpoints
• The cost to benefit ratio is good. It is not a real EDR player yet, but the development looks promising
• Its best feature is integration with our MSP software, providing actionable tickets.
