Check Point Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) is for endpoint security. I use the Check Point Quantum Spark 1800, which is not available on the PeerSpot site; when I typed Quantum Spark, it selected the Harmony device.

I use Harmony SASE for endpoint security in my daily operations, protecting all the endpoint securities, which includes my systems, networking devices, and everything that is internally connected from the switch to the firewall. I have all the licenses into the Check Point device, which is protecting all my assets from a security level and state level.

A specific example of a security threat where Check Point Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) or my Quantum Spark device helped protect my organization is when the user reaches out to any bot activity or any other country websites. Immediately Check Point reveals some of the IPs getting touched with some other countries' IPs which should not be accessed, so during that time I log into Check Point and block that particular IP. This is very useful, as Check Point shows me pop-up notifications over email and my text message, making it easy for me to recognize which ones are affected and which ones are not.

I use Quantum Spark for internet segregation in SD-WAN and as a DHCP server as endpoint security to secure all my devices from threats, including thrift protection and anti-email protection, and it is very easy to configure as well as easy to understand.

My primary use case for Perimeter 81 is to have a secure remote workforce. With colleagues stationed across the globe, it ensures a secure network connection, enabling seamless remote work. 

This is particularly vital for our multinational operations, as it guarantees that our team can access critical resources and applications securely from anywhere in the world. 

Perimeter 81 has become the cornerstone of our remote work infrastructure, providing peace of mind and reliability to our globally dispersed workforce.

Perimeter 81 has been instrumental in transforming our organization. It has seamlessly integrated security into our remote work setup, allowing us to adapt swiftly to the evolving work landscape. 

Our employees now enjoy secure, uninterrupted access to vital resources from anywhere. It has not only improved our overall productivity but also instilled confidence in our team. However, it's crucial to emphasize that achieving these benefits necessitates careful configuration and ongoing management to ensure optimal performance and security.

I usually use Check Point Harmony SASE for firewall and firewall application management for my internal network traffic.

The features are excellent, particularly the user interface and user accessibility. It provides clear transparency on the traffic and network distribution. The firewall management is the most valuable feature for me.

We use the solution for secure remote access and access policy governance.

As part of our SOC2 Type 2 audit preparation, we wanted a solution that will be able to enforce secure passwords and two-factor authentication on our remote access to company development and production environments (hosted in GCP).

We were using a different VPN provider yet struggled with getting those policies in place. As timelines were very aggressive, we decided to look for a managed service or a SaaS offering, and Perimeter 81 was very quick to respond and provide a test account.

We were finalizing our SOC2 Type 2 audit and decided to move to a different remote access vendor.

We were able to implement Perimeter 81 within an hour with all the required services (SSO) and infrastructure (GCP and SaaS applications).

Distributing the agent was very simple, allowing us to enforce security posture on our devices (i.e. S1, Disk-encryption, etc.).

The team is now evaluating the Firewall-as-a-Service capabilities as well as the Secure Web Gateways to see if we require any additional policies in place as we're rapidly growing.

There are a lot of regulatory restrictions in Turkey. So, most of us interact with a ZTNA module, not the entire SASE. We utilize the SSL VPN capability with 81. We consider replacing our legacy SSL VPN with ZTNA.

The best key features of Harmony are stabilization, private access, and Internet access. Harmony's support for bidirectional traffic and UDP protocol can be improved. Harmony SASE provides cost efficiency. If the prices were reduced, all customers could access it more easily.

Customers employ Check Point Diagnostics for their multi-branch solutions. They're also using Foundation Firewall with Blade Security and Check Point Harmony Connect. Their primary focus is on prevention, particularly in terms of access to ServiceEdge. This approach ensures the safety of packets and applications for our IT customers. Consequently, we are investing in quality hardware to support these secure solutions.

Our investment in quality hardware has proven to provide a better customer experience. They heavily rely on Check Point Firewall and Check Point SaaS Connect to safeguard their networks from external threats and attacks.

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 connected to the Perimeter81 GoCanvas VPN. Salesforce is an important integration to our entire organization, and I need to be connected to the Perimeter81 GoCanvas VPN to access my own shared Salesforce account.

Perimeter81 has made it easy and hassle-free for South African employees to access certain platforms needed to do our work on a daily basis. 

Before having the pleasure of being on the Perimeter81 GoCanvas VPN, it was very frustrating. I had many hassles with JumpCloud and I could not get onto the platforms I needed to be working on to get my work done.

I never have any issues with Perimeter81, it really is simple and easy to use.

It really has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms.
