Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Emmanuel Dibia - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to manage data and secures configuration
We use Amazon Macie to manage data.  The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe.  I have been using the product for three years.  The tool's deployment is easy.  Amazon Macie is worth its money.  I rate the tool an eight out of ten.  Amazon Web Services (AWS)

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 of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare makes it easier for me to handle and set up DNS for multiple users and multiple clients, and basically go in and access their account, make the changes they need, and it's a one-stop shop."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The tool's performance is good."
"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
"The threat management database provides consistent updates."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"The product is reliable and sturdy."
"The option to set a copy is beneficial."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."
"The reporting could be improved."
"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."
"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."
"Integration is currently limited to Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"Check Point's technical support is very much of a low level, especially with respect to other vendors and OEMs."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda - like more advanced threat management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."

"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"You need to pay per usage."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment."
