CV
Network Architect at IP Dimension
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.
Jorge Abalo - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"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."
"Clover is the best product globally."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."
"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."
"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."
"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"Enables me to work from two locations."
"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."
"Any organization looking for the best email security solution should consider Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade as one of the leading solutions currently present in the IT domain."
"When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has one of the highest spam protection rates - and it shows."
"The policies and port blocking are the most valuable features. We have a significant amount of spam emails passing through our network."
"Since the engine is made to block by IP, domains, and reputation, we minimized the spam threats that end up in the user's mailbox."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is undoubtedly one of the highly stable and scalable platforms for email management - at a minimal cost."
"It's a fairly old solution, however, that has been updated over time to become one of the best manufacturers of security solutions."
"It has several very good features that form an excellent tool."
"After implementing Trellix Collaboration Security, we have not encountered any incidents related to ransomware."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"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."
"The solution offers almost every feature that customers need in one solution, for example, spam filtering, antivirus, et cetera, with almost zero false positives."
"The accessibility is one of the features that I love; we can control it from the cloud and we can access it from anywhere."
"FireEye ETP has blocked several campaigns that lead to the post compromise deployment of ransomware, Obfuscated Outlook Phishing impersonation, Attachment based Phishing."
"Trellix Collaboration Security is valued for being a stable and comprehensive solution that fulfills customer needs."
"It is one of the greatest solutions to have or to complement any other security solution such as Proofpoint or IronPort."
 

Cons

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."
"The response time for support must be reduced."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"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."
"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."
"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."
"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."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade customer support is not really good."
"The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better."
"The ease of use with the user interface could be better as it is very static."
"Improvements could be made to the user interface and reporting because the management console can feel a bit outdated, so a more real-time dashboard would make it easier, and while the detection is strong, false positive tuning is sometimes needed as occasional legitimate emails get flagged as spam and phishing."
"After six months, the mail was in fits and starts and the Check Point infrastructure was not responding properly."
"It would be useful to have more logs and in aggregate mode, perhaps through a specific report, that can be more easily used for troubleshooting."
"User experience can be improved."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."
"The solution needs better support."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"Trellix Collaboration Security can be improved by making the reporting and analysis tools more detailed."
"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."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
