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.

Email security has blocked sophisticated phishing and now protects inboxes with AI detection

The only challenge with Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is that it is an API-based solution. In an API-based solution, the major challenge is that it can read email content and Google Drive content. This presents a data privacy challenge, and we had to mitigate it by signing a Data Processing Agreement and other agreements. Because it is not a traditional in-line solution, Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) connects with Google Workspace using API permission and can access email, attachments, sender, recipient information, links, and all metadata is with Check Point. Data storage and everything else is with Check Point, which is the challenge. This solution has a drawback because of API deployment, while other solutions are traditional secure email gateways that are in-line solutions. In those solutions, we need to change the MX record, but with this solution we do not need to change the MX record, which is a pro of API-based deployment. However, there is also a con in that with API solutions, the email is scanned but after delivery in the mailbox.

Ensures seamless real-time alerts and smooth deployment with room for Linux functionality improvement

The licensing issue was eventually resolved by the team, but the Linux client issue persisted. Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows. That was somewhat of a downside for us. I cannot speak to whether they have improved this in the past two years. An area for improvement is that when a package is provided, there should be no additional elements required from the user's side. For instance, there is an activation key, and you have to specify the host where you need to redirect and fetch the license. That was disappointing when it comes to mass deployment.

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."

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

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

"Clover is the best product globally."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"It is a stable solution."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Encryption of emails enhances safe communication that ransomware attacks cannot compromise."

"Checkpoint Harmony Email and Collaboration is one of the cloud solutions for email that has given us the most added value."

"In terms of technical features, this is the best solution that I have worked with so far."

"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."

"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."

"It protects cloud email and collaboration suites from cyber-attacks that evade default and advanced security tools. Its invisible, multi-layer security enables full-suite protection for cloud collaboration solutions such as Office 365, G-Suite, Teams, and Slack."

"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."

"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."

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

"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."

"I rate technical support as ten out of ten."

"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."

"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."

"The product is forward-looking, in my opinion, which is a requirement nowadays."

"Endpoint Protector has machine learning and AI, and it prevents 99% of ransomware."

"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."

"If you need a good DLP software to protect your data, I recommend that you go for CoSoSys without any second thought."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

Cons

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

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

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Initial Learning Mode takes a while."

"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."

"For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."

"There could be more automation features included for it."

"The cost is a little bit expensive."

"Check Point needs to address the pricing segment for SMEs."

"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."

"The sanitization on the file needs improvement."

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

"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."

"This product provides zero-day protection for macOS, although I'm currently dealing with an issue on the most recent rollout of the Endpoint client that doesn't seem to be fully functioning."

"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."

"The policy engine could use a bit of work. They're definitely going in the right direction. We've been working with them over the last few weeks to try and optimize that. But it's reasonably clear that they're just not putting as much effort into the policy engine as into other things, like content discovery."

"It misses Network level DLP and SaaS DLP offerings."

"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."

"Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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 solution is not that expensive."

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

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

"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."

"Usually, we pay for the licensing part on a yearly basis and not on a monthly basis. If Check Point's team is providing a good amount of discount, then it is very easy for us to select it since its competitors are also giving the best prices or best discounts."

"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."

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

"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."

"The pricing is competitive."

"The product’s price is very high."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pricing and cost advice

"From what we've seen, their pricing is a lot lower than the other stuff we've looked at. I actually don't have any concerns with their pricing. They were probably the most reasonable company out there for the features that were offered. It was pretty straightforward in terms of licensing, and you just pay for the license."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"We have a limited budget for our media section. When we purchased it last year, we migrated from a different solution to this solution, and at that time, they told us that the cost will remain the same, but this year, they increased the price by 20% or something like that. I am not sure about the exact price, but let's say from 8,000, it increased to 10,000. It was a huge gap, and we couldn't bear this cost because we have a limited budget. When we spoke to them, they understood our problem and reduced it to the same price that we had last year."

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."

"The product has average pricing."

"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."

"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."

"The pricing is very competitive and is cheaper in comparison to that of other solutions. It makes it an easy decision to go with EPP for the data loss prevention infrastructure."
