Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility
I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

Provides real-time alerts and efficient data governance with easy integration
The best features of Amazon Macie include sensitive data identification, particularly for PII, which is pre-built and helpful because we don't have to define it ourselves. Those features are already embedded, which was beneficial. Additionally, some insights and alerts were coming up that were also pre-configured. It's not difficult to do that, but it's more of a build versus buy decision. These features were of great help to us. My experience with Amazon Macie's ability to provide alerts for suspicious activity in real-time has been good. We utilized the alerts for threat detection. Customizable features of Amazon Macie have helped significantly in maintaining fine-grained control over access and usage of sensitive information, offering a good combination of personalized options and out-of-the-box solutions.

Email security effectively detects a wide range of threats and improves productivity
Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable. While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"It's very user-friendly."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The detailed reports on data privacy risk provided by Amazon Macie are really good and have contributed positively to our data governance strategies."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"The threat management database provides consistent updates."
"Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten."
"The product is reliable and sturdy."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"The reporting could be improved."
"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."
"For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."
"The implementation could definitely be better."
"Check Point could improve its marketing strategy."
"Integration is currently limited to Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"Initial Learning Mode takes a while."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't have any issues with the price."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The price is reasonable."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"You need to pay per usage."
"The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"Cost is the main concern that every customer takes into consideration, and Check Point always negotiates a price that is affordable."
"One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."
"The product is expensive."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
