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.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection could be improved if they can offer a remote app for ease of use. If the team is not working from a workstation, we usually have the service access through our laptops, and if there's an interface on a mobile basis, that would be useful. Ease of use for our newer recruits is an area for improvement. When someone just joins our team, we want an easy onboarding process for them to understand why Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is in place. Sometimes we do not have the capacity to train someone, but we would like to ensure that Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is able to provide that training information to get them up to speed on what our system is, what our setup is in the Mimecast platform. Maybe implementing a deep dive AI tool that understands our organization much better and can relay information to anyone that we're training would help. This way, we can pull training parameters to track areas where our technical teams can improve their understanding and knowledge base and skill base into making use of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection better.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."
"Cloudflare is simple to use."
"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."
"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."
"Enables me to work from two locations."
"Crashplan has saved my company from a great deal of data loss."
"CrashPlan has proven to be a backup AND restore solution when other solutions were only "good" at backing up."
"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."
"The product isn't free, but the value that is given with the software functionality is top of the line."
"CrashPlan is easy to use and reliable."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has impacted my organization positively by protecting our environment from malicious links and spam."
"This was the best ones that I tested; I loved it then and still love it now."
"Since I started working with CrashPlan we have less tickets open, since we offer monitor issues we received daily alerts and most of the issues are fixed even before the customer realizes they have an issue."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"From a business perspective, we've been able to virtually eliminate cyber attacks from spyware, malware, and virus perspectives."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"It is a very complete platform."
 

Cons

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."
"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."
"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."
"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"Feedback could be enhanced."
"It is complex but Code42 provides a dedicated service engineer to help."
"Reporting."
"They could always reduce the price."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved because we struggled with configurations."
"The licenses are not so cheap, but are also scalable to your number of customers."
"I would rate Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection an eight out of ten because we need improvements in policies, and although I am not aware of other organizations' experiences, we are facing some lags, and there are points we must work on."
"We had one server that has tendency to make the client stop, but usually fixes itself if you give it a few hours."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"Enterprise capabilities are probably a hindrance for a large organization to take up such a product."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"I'm not happy with the way they are treating existing customers for adding licenses."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"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."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"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 solution is not that expensive."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"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 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."
"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"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."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
