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.

Cloud Engineer at Interglobalmsp

Advanced email filtering has reduced phishing incidents and protects users across our organization

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade works very well overall, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One is the reporting interface; it is useful but could be more intuitive and provide clearer insights without needing to go through multiple menus. I would also like to see faster or more seamless updates to threat intelligence so the system reacts even more quickly to new phishing techniques. Regarding the reporting feature of Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade, I think the reporting and analytics could be more modern and integrated. The data is there, but a more customizable dashboard or clearer summaries would make it easier to present threats or justify decisions to management. Better visualization would really help. Another improvement I would like to see is deeper integration with the platforms we use, such as more seamless connections with our ticketing system or user directory. Everything works, but a deeper level of automation would be beneficial.

Jorge Abalo

Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response

In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

"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."

"Clover is the best product globally."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"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."

More Cloudflare One pros

"It is certainly very beneficial for a small business and works best in combination with other Check Point blades, such as the Data Protection Blade that protects against data loss via email."

"Using Check Point has helped us to safeguard our environment and help to protect against spam, as well as other types of attacks against our network."

"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has created a safe working environment that cannot be easily compromised."

"The best features Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade offers are its position as a market leader, having the best anti-spam engine which blocks a lot of spam and provides us the best security with the AI use cases."

"The most valuable feature for me is real-time detection and remediation."

"Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution."

"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade provides an extra level of security against threats and malware along with 2FA support for multiple platform collaboration and integrations in a single click."

"Check Point offers us flexibility when it comes to customizing the configurations that we want to manage, thus allowing us to meet the specific needs of our company."

More Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade pros

"It is one of the greatest solutions to have or to complement any other security solution such as Proofpoint or IronPort."

"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."

"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."

"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."

"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."

"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."

"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."

Cons

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better."

"The anti-spam features could be upgraded to be able to detect unnoticeable spam."

"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade could improve by focusing more on promoting and marketing its products. Despite having a great solution, it hasn't captured a larger market share, possibly due to insufficient promotion. It should also incorporate a module to monitor client identities, similar to CrowdStrike. It could also improve by systemizing and simplifying their documentation to make it easier to find needed information."

"One thing which annoys me with the Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is its customer support portal which still lags in service even after so many developments."

"After six months, the mail was in fits and starts and the Check Point infrastructure was not responding properly."

"Recognizing spammers and spam email sourcing is extremely lagging these days, and the performance could be improved to provide better efficiency."

"I would like this solution to be more integrated into other applications that Check Point has so that it could be managed quickly and safely from the Infinity Portal."

"The high-end protection of email servers from any advanced foreign agents and malware is not 100% there currently."

More Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade cons

"If you really need something powerful to handle multiple routes and delivery points then this solution might not be for you."

"The spam detection feature could be better."

"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."

"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."

"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."

"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."

"I deduct two points because while we are using it for insiders, we still rely on another solution for gateway level security, which makes us use two different solutions for the same purpose."

"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."

More Trellix Collaboration Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not that expensive."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"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 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 pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."

"Reasonably priced solution."

"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."

"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."

"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
