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.

Management team gains substantial protection while navigating ongoing configuration challenges

The most valuable features of Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include our approach to manage it via the management we have on-premises, and we also deploy the same extension management of CloudGuard to manage all the virtual systems on Azure. We effectively use artificial intelligence with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security, as we have teams that work with AI and we frequently manage our firewalls using AI along with the CloudGuard and all virtual systems.

Email security effectively detects a wide range of threats and improves productivity

Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable. While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

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."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"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."

"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure."

"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."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Knowing what measures we must take allows us to reduce costs associated with security in the cloud by providing early identification of a risk or a possible security breach."

"Having a cloud detection response helps to very quickly identify security threats in our environment."

"It helped us to reduce vulnerabilities."

"Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development."

"We have had a number of real events where developers accidentally made commits of API keys, and we were able to detect and begin response actions in minutes. We had the API key revoked in less than five minutes in such events."

"We can ensure that by following and adapting our needs based on these guidelines we will be a great organization with a strong vision and a great security framework established to protect us."

"Compared to what we used before, it's helping us to be more efficient in managing our traffic."

"The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple."

More Check Point CloudGuard Code Security pros

"The incorporated AI capabilities are particularly notable, functioning as AI versus AI, and it has protected us from various threats with a nice dashboard that shows if anything is missed by MS 365."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent."

"To provide the security coverage to the new email service, we chose the Check Point CloudGuard SaaS solution, which now serves as the main protection mechanism for about 500 users and up to 10,000 emails per day, and there are no problems with the scalability for future growth."

"The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution."

"The threat management database provides consistent updates."

"The combination of smooth integration and advanced detection has made it feel like a strong layer of protection in our overall security stack."

"As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pros

Cons

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"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."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

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

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"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."

More Cloudflare One cons

"This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly."

"I would like this solution to be extended to cellular devices or tablets."

"I am satisfied with the performance and results enhanced by this product since we deployed it."

"Some challenges with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include that we noticed FortiGate is much more efficient on AWS, and our team prefers to deploy FortiGate there instead of CloudGuard due to the management challenges on the cloud."

"The ease of use could be better."

"There needs to be better security around API integration."

"They could include web functionalities such as sandboxing."

"The solution should improve false-positives."

More Check Point CloudGuard Code Security cons

"There is always room for improvement and growth."

"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."

"Support could be improved, as it is only available in English."

"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."

"Improved support is needed as current support is slow."

"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."

"The documentation is a little unintuitive, and I make an additional effort for the first deployment."

"Other vendor support teams go after fixing the issue the moment that they join the remote session. The problem that I have faced with Check Point support is that they share the case number with me, then it takes at least two days for them to join a remote session with us, even though we have asked for this timeframe to change. Even though we have already explained the problems that we are facing or the business pain points in our network on the call or email, we have to repeat the problem statements again in the console. It can take four or five days to resolve the issue from the moment they understand the problem. This includes the time to teach their R&D or internal team whatever the issue is. I have faced timeframes as long as seven to 10 days for fixing some issues."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

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

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"It is extremely affordable and high value for cost."

"I'm in this business as a system integrator, so I need to suggest Check Point to some customers who are comparing products. I sell Check Point, Fortinet, and Palo Alto solutions. In terms of licensing, this solution is quite competitive but very costly. For someone looking at security as a primary concern, they should only invest in Check Point. For a customer who is looking at security combined with pricing, Check Point might not be the core solution for them. In today's market, customers are looking for effective security with efficient pricing, and Check Point is not suitable for these types of customers."

"The pricing is expensive."

"One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."

"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."

"The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."

"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
