Overall Satisfaction with CheckPoint

We use CheckPoint as an endpoint anti-malware suite. We like its reliability for protecting workstations and servers from all the bad stuff, the only complaint I have with CheckPoint is that the cloud portal user interface is very confusing and not user friendly, even to a veteran system administrator. The cloud portal does display an immense amount of useful information but the navigation and organization of that info is disjointed and doesn't follow normal modern UX design.
  • Scans local endpoints for malware fairly quickly
  • Can be installed by InTune
  • In my experience, notifications are completely broken and non-functional
  • In my opinion, confusing UX for the cloud portal
  • Don't try and import 100's of endpoints when onboarding because it will create a mess
  • ROI is satisfactory because it is doing the basics of preventing malware infections
There is no clear leader for anti-malware, all have strengths and weaknesses, nothing is good or great at everything.

Do you think CheckPoint delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with CheckPoint's feature set?

Yes

Did CheckPoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of CheckPoint go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy CheckPoint again?

Yes

If the org has more than a couple of hundred endpoints, I would recommend help from pro services otherwise the UX is going to cause confusion. Its almost as if a new customer would need hand holding because the UX is so .... unconventional.
