Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites
I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Fraud controls have protected patient portals and now support trusted digital healthcare access
Arkose can be improved in several ways. Integration complexity requires alignment with healthcare IT systems, which is an area where Arkose is currently lagging. There is a need to balance security versus patient experience, as overly strict controls frustrate legitimate users who want to access the patient portal without excessive restrictions. Evolving threats present another challenge. Every day, fraudsters use generative AI to mimic human behavior, which requires Arkose to continually improve its threat detection. Since Arkose handles different systems that need to be controlled over time, there should be regular audits to determine which features need adjustment. Cost-wise, the platform requires improvement, as there is significant cost involved and considerable manual intervention needed, which should be brought into the AI automation. On an everyday basis, patient login verification sometimes experiences delays when internet issues occur, causing patients to wait long in queue. Insurance claims validation does not always happen easily due to application environment downtime. These operational improvements need to be addressed in Arkose Labs systems.

Gateway filtering has protected our organization and provides complete email threat prevention
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Email Security offers include its use for malware analysis as well as the enterprise-wide email quarantine system. My experience with the malware analysis and quarantine features is that they are easy to manage and they have been very effective because we have been able to quarantine any suspicious emails or prevent any attempt before it affects our systems. It is also very user-friendly and has a simple interface. Policies and rules are easy to create and they work with very little downtime or operational impact. Email delivery issues are easy to investigate and troubleshoot. Trellix Email Security has positively impacted my organization as it is user-friendly and does a good job detecting malicious attachments in email, providing complete email protection against all users and working well to stop advanced threats. The price is relatively the same as other competitors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Enables me to work from two locations."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."
"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."
"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."
"I also like that they challenge crawling in CAPTCHA for mobile. This is good compared to the traditional way."
"Trellix Email Security is reliable and super stable."
"Trellix Email Security has positively impacted my organization by providing us with a consolidated tool to manage all our email protection, and it is performing excellently."
"Trellix Email Security has positively impacted my organization because we previously experienced a data leak due to an email virus, but now we are secure and not experiencing any of these issues, which is beneficial for the company's important data that we can now protect from threats."
"Even in my brief experience, I can clearly see how automation, AI-based analysis, and real-time monitoring improve response time and strengthen overall email security."
"Overall, I find Trellix Email Security to be a mature and ready solution, delivering very good protection, and scalability-wise, it is very promising."
"In my opinion, the most useful functions or features in Trellix Email Security include sandboxing, anti-spam, some filters, and quarantine features, which are highly sought after because of the compliance and protection around the attack vectors on email."
"By using Trellix Email Security, we achieve reduced phishing attacks and ransomware risk from the email side, we are protected from advanced email threats and gain visibility of who is sending emails to our organization, and we achieve compliance of data protection, ensuring that we will not send sensitive data to the outside."
"Trellix Email Security has positively impacted our organization."
 

Cons

"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"The response time for support must be reduced."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."
"Arkose need to provide something for testing."
"Integration complexity requires alignment with healthcare IT systems, which is an area where Arkose is currently lagging."
"Trellix Email Security can be improved in several areas."
"The main issue right now with Trellix Email Security is price-wise."
"I think Trellix Email Security needs to improve different sides of email security, especially the filtering process."
"The customer support has been inconsistent with Trellix lately because there is a whole loopback hierarchy that you have to reach the customer service first, and then the engineer will respond, and then the customer service will feed you back again."
"To improve Trellix Email Security, I think the dashboard details could be enhanced."
"However, it was somewhat difficult to block URL-based threats and the security settings were complex, making it difficult for us to use features beyond basic security."
"My main problem with support is that the response time is too long, which is the major issue."
"The biggest area for improvement in Trellix Email Security is the pricing. The solution is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"The solution is not that expensive."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
