Makes it convenient to work from home, supports everything I need, and is easy to use
When everybody is trying to log in and work sometimes there is a little latency but not a whole lot. This latency also depends on the type of server you have, how may users are logging in and users' home connection (WIFI or Ethernet). If the weather is bad, sometimes, you can get disconnected. I log in every day and I don't usually have any issues unless it is really storming out and then it can be latent. When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent.

Simple and easy to use with good connectivity for remote work
I work remotely from quite a remote location in South Africa, for a US-based Software company (GoCanvas/Device Magic). GoCanvas and Device Magic are 2 software platforms used for data collection on mobile devices. In order for me to access platforms such as Salesforce and Cornerstone, I need to be…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Virtual desktops and virtual apps are most valuable."
"It is easy and simple, and it has got an easy interface. It is not hard to learn. With just three clicks, you log in, and you're there."
"Distributing the agent was very simple, allowing us to enforce security posture on our devices (i.e. S1, Disk-encryption, etc.)."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"Overall, the unified agent covers endpoints as well as prevents web browser attacks."
"The reports give a simple overview of the traffic pattern within the organization."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple."
"The solution provides us with an easy way to configure and join the VPN with Perimeter 81."
 

Cons

"When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent."
"INGPU for engineering software is an area of improvement."
"An improvement could be made in terms of achieving better coverage in such complicated regions as the Asia Pacific, China, and Russia."
"My customers want more remote functionality. They need another routing option after they connect to the enterprise intranet. For example, let's say a user tries to connect to a remote branch office and headquarters through Harmony Connect. They need a local breakout after connecting to the headquarters, especially in China. They need to put local breakout in the Chinese internet. The current version cannot do something like this."
"There is an issue when installing the Check Point client."
"The suspend feature needs more control."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"They could improve on the available public documentation."
"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"Branding could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. They should provide better licensing options."
"Overall I am very happy with the solution’s flexibility and pricing."
"Annual licenses cost $30 to $40 each."
"The cost of the solution's licenses depends on the particular use cases."
"I would rate Harmony Connect's pricing at six out of ten. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either."
"The product's pricing model accommodates diverse needs and deployment sizes."
"Regarding pricing, I can say that the more the number of users, the less they have to pay."
"The solution is priced appropriately considering its uses. For an essential license, a user pays only 30 USD per month. For an enterprise version, the prices can be negotiated with the company."
"The pricing of Check Point is relatively high when compared to other competitors like Palo Alto and Fortinet. While Palo Alto may be on the higher side in terms of cost, Check Point's pricing is similar to that of Fortinet. In some cases, Check Point offers better value for the features it provides. We initially considered other options but ultimately decided to purchase hardware that came with three years of iOS. This approach eliminated the need for any additional costs associated with Check Point. I would rate it 10 out of 10."
