Like its antivirus cousins, this product centers around the antivirus technology that powers Check Point’s endpoint security solutions for the enterprise. If you want to know more, it's all in my review of the antivirus. Confused? Well, Extreme Security has all the features, so there’s no confusion if you go for the suite.Įverything that you get with ZoneAlarm PRO NextGen Antivirus + Firewall naturally shows up in ZoneAlarm Extreme. And the dedicated anti-ransomware tool duplicates some antivirus features. In testing, the paid antivirus turned out to include some ransomware protection components. The free antivirus includes a limited version of Web Secure, one that only works in Chrome but that aced our phishing protection test. These distinctions seem clear-cut, but in reality, things are messier. This is a consumer product, though, and I doubt many consumers will purchase 50 or even 25 licenses. You can get 25 licenses for $289.95 per year or 50 for $549.95. A 10-license subscription, at $139.95 per year, costs almost exactly twice as much as five licenses, but Check Point doesn’t stop there. Paying $64.95 gets you three licenses, but on a per-license basis you’re better off choosing five licenses for $69.95. Protecting a single PC with ZoneAlarm Extreme costs $59.95 per year, the same (or nearly) as ESET Smart Security Premium and Bitdefender. It has an attractive new interface, but the suite’s feature set continues to dwindle, to the point where we can't recommend it. The line culminates with ZoneAlarm Extreme Security NextGen, which fits best in the mega-suite category. The ZoneAlarm product line includes a free personal firewall, free antivirus plus firewall, and feature-enhanced paid editions of both, as well as a standalone anti-ransomware product. Check Point's pattern is a bit different. Many add an even bigger suite, either a mega-suite with more features, a suite with cross-platform protection, or both. The typical product line for a security suite company involves at least a standalone antivirus program plus a full suite that builds on that antivirus.
