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.

Gateway policies have greatly reduced phishing emails and support rapid investigation workflows
There are no particular reviews on improvement from my side regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.I think the UI of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be more optimized, as it feels slow and laggy at points. If that can be optimized and improved, that would be better.

Behavior analytics has strengthened threat prediction yet still needs to improve overall standing
Regarding the real-time monitoring feature with VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, it is helpful in addressing unseen threats. I find the behavior analysis feature beneficial. I assess VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's machine learning capabilities in detecting unknown threats as fantastic. The behavior and analytics feature employs machine learning, and these are features which make the product and give that distinguishing, differentiating factor. The intelligent threat hunting capabilities have impacted my customers' cybersecurity efforts by giving them the edge to be prepared well in advance. Whenever this feature provides prediction, you know what action to take. You are aware of a possible attack and what kind of attack it may be, so you are much better prepared.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."
"Clover is the best product globally."
"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."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."
"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."
"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."
"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."
"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has impacted my organization positively by protecting our environment from malicious links and spam."
"Once the deployment was done we had immediate time savings and reliability improvements."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"We are so very thankful for the stability and reliability that Code42's CrashPlan offers us."
"CrashPlan, in general, is a great tool to have because backups are essential."
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"The endpoint backup component (the primary feature) is second to none."
"Since March of 2018, we have not had a malicious intrusion success."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria, and I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"​Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks.​"
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."
"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."
"I think the UI of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be more optimized, as it feels slow and laggy at points."
"I am waiting for them to develop an app that can be installed on a smartphone or tablet that backs up the data as it does for computers."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved because we struggled with configurations."
"Faster."
"Additionally, there have been instances where a document or link has bypassed Mimecast, causing us to question why it was not blocked before reaching users."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization; we ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious."
"The licenses are not so cheap, but are also scalable to your number of customers."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"I would like to see improvements made so that we can better see all of the processes."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"When you view the triage, it will show you everything within a given time frame, and not only the attack that caused the alert, which is what I want to see."
"Occasionally, we'll have issues with the latest version and they'll basically tell us that they will improve it in the next iteration. They need to work on their version release quality."
"The product cannot perform an on-demand scan. They could add this particular feature."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The solution is not that expensive."
"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."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."
"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."
"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"Overall, it was cost-effective too."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
