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.

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.

Real-time threat response has boosted detection accuracy and reduces manual investigation work
I have had challenges in the past with Trellix Collaboration Security for implementation because of issues related to compatibility. Since we worked in a global company with different operating systems, it was necessary to create different plans and different actions to implement the product.One thing I really do not prefer in Trellix Collaboration Security is not related to the console. I am a McAfee fan since the McAfee tool, and I find the console of Trellix Collaboration Security to be very user-friendly and easy to use. However, I do not know if it is related to the architecture of the product. Of course, we have modern threats based on behaviors and zero days. We have today CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, where we have better results based on threats and behavior, where it is possible to create a simulation environment based on the file detected and based on it, confirm if it really is malicious or not. In general, I believe Trellix Collaboration Security improved the console based on the last console of McAfee, but I think it is possible to improve more. It really is a good product, but in my view, it needs to improve detection based on behaviors. Regarding automations, I have implemented Trellix Collaboration Security here at Johnson & Johnson, and I implemented it in the same situation at Santander Bank and BNP Paribas Bank, where I created automations to export data for different metrics, including malicious detections, compliance, baselines, scans, last scans based on the seven days, and checking of patterns. I export everything to CSV files. Based on that, I create Power BI dashboards, and in these Power BI dashboards, I have a more executive view for different metrics to provide to myself, my manager, or director to create an executive view based on it. Another important point we use here at Johnson & Johnson and other companies is a data hub or a SIEM solution, such as Elastic or ArcSight, where we select some logs to be sent and use it to build reports and metrics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Clover is the best product globally."
"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."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."
"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."
"The robust Smart Dashboard enables to us fetch important and accurate data insights concerning the blocking of spammers and malware attacks on the system."
"I find the Next-Gen firewall with SandBlast technology the most valuable feature, as it is good for stopping attacks."
"The tool helps us see the behavior inside our environment, which is important to us. The solution's capacity integration features are great."
"Advanced Spam Filtering to identify and block unwanted email messages."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has positively impacted my organization because unlike my previous dashboard, it shows pop-ups for bot activity or whenever malware or ransomware attacks occur in any system."
"The most valuable feature for me is real-time detection and remediation."
"It helped us to achieve process compliance with over 90% effectiveness."
"It has several very good features that form an excellent tool."
"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."
"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."
"Trellix Collaboration Security has positively impacted my organization by improving security, making teamwork more effective, and ensuring collaboration has become smoother."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"FireEye ETP has blocked several campaigns that lead to the post compromise deployment of ransomware, Obfuscated Outlook Phishing impersonation, Attachment based Phishing."
"The accessibility is one of the features that I love; we can control it from the cloud and we can access it from anywhere."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"A specific example of how I have used Trellix Collaboration Security in my consulting work is in my current work environment, where I manage over 130,000 endpoints, allowing me to protect each endpoint with a firewall, which makes a significant difference because the entire network is not protected by a network firewall alone."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."
"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"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."
"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"The UX/UI could be more friendly."
"The customer support for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade rates at 6 out of 10. Sometimes the Check Point support has issues as they do not respond immediately when I log a ticket and sometimes they lag."
"The manageability using this console is complex and it should be a little more user-friendly."
"In my book, more and more customized integrations could be made available so that different kinds of mail servers and cloud servers can be internally integrated for real-time system flow and security enablement."
"Mobile solutions should be added to Check Point because business email is also used by users on mobile devices."
"They should upgrade support services and make a more user-friendly database."
"The scanning and checking of SMTP and POP3 traffic is not always 100%. The directional scanning left some of the incoming mail unchecked quite often, which carries a higher malware risk."
"A major area for improvement is within some of the heavily discounted software blade add-ons on top of the current Next Generation Threat Prevention and SandBlast and Next Generation Threat Prevention offerings."
"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"The solution needs better support."
"Sometimes, integration can be challenging, impacting its stability, which is why I rate it a five out of ten."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"The cloud product is not open to the customers. If the system itself could be more open to the customer, I'd be able to configure it more specifically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"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."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"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."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
"I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Reasonably priced solution."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The cost is very high."
