Reduced manual security overhead while file scanning integrates seamlessly into existing workflows
My experience with the procurement process was easy.It was really easy to buy bucket_av through the AWS Marketplace; I encountered no problems. My thoughts about the metering and billing experience are positive, as bucket_av provides their own dashboard for the volumes and data usage, so it is fairly easy to see how much data is going through and the amount of money it costs. My advice to others looking into using bucket_av is that if you want a bolt-on solution to scan S3s, I think it is a perfect solution if you do not want to modify your application code that is already using an S3 bucket. I give this product a rating of five out of five.

Delivers seamless and secure remote access while enhancing security posture
Check Point Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) offers strong features, but there are areas that could be improved. One area for improvement is integration with third-party identity providers. It works with standard SAML and SSO, but we would prefer deeper integrations with solutions such as Ping for more advanced identity-based policies. Additionally, a mobile-specific client or lightweight agent would be helpful for securing access from smartphones, especially in BYOD environments. We would appreciate more granular reporting and analytics, including better drill-down capabilities to investigate specific users or app activity. The logs are comprehensive, but filtering them can sometimes feel messy. The user interface on the management portal could be more intuitive, especially when managing multiple sites or remote offices. Some of the policy configuration steps are nested and could be streamlined.
