Phishing prevention and advanced threat protection have improved security for remote workers
Some of the best features that Check Point Harmony Browse offers include real-time phishing and malware protection, which inspects website links in real time and blocks phishing attempts and malicious downloads before they reach the user. Zero-day threat prevention, including built-in zero-day prevention, is a significant differentiator. It provides a seamless user experience since it runs directly inside the browser without slowing down browsing or requiring a VPN. This allows employees to securely access web and SaaS resources without realizing there's an extra layer of security. These features make a big difference for our team and company, such as in a particular situation where it helped us. We received a fake O365 page that posed a sophisticated phishing threat, and instead of relying solely on user awareness, Check Point Harmony Browse blocked the site in real time. This action prevented credential compromise and saved our security team from a potential incident response. Another crucial feature is the smooth integration with SaaS applications such as Teams, Zoom, or Google, which does not interfere with their operation. Users don't even notice there is any security tool running; it feels like security without friction.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since using Check Point Harmony Browse, we have noticed a significant drop in security incidents, approximately 30 to 40% fewer phishing and malware cases, which has saved our IT team a lot of time on incident response and helped avoid costly downtime."
"It gives our customers a sense of security they might not have found anywhere else."
"The downloaded protection as it scans and emulates the files on a browser level is great."
"Check Point Harmony Browse has a feature that allows users to check the extensions installed in their browser. This feature is valuable because hackers may install malicious extensions on a target computer without the user's knowledge. When browsing, users are often less aware of the extensions installed in their browsers, making it easier for malicious extensions to go unnoticed. By providing visibility into installed extensions, Check Point Harmony Browse enhances security by allowing users to identify and remove potentially harmful extensions."
"This tool installs a very small agent in browsers. It does not cause performance problems on the host computer, which makes it less annoying for users."
"Implementing Check Point Harmony Browse has significantly strengthened our company's web security by reducing exposure to phishing and malware attacks."
"This solution has improved my organization by providing enhanced web security."
"One of the great advantages is being able to ensure that each of our users is protected from the best browsing solution."
"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."
"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."
"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"Enables me to work from two locations."
 

Cons

"More focus and emphasis is required on customization and real-time notification and alert system."
"While it is effective, the management portal could use some refinement. For instance, we would like to see more advanced filtering options and clearer reporting for policy violations."
"They should focus on new areas of product. In the last year, they have not released any updates with improvements or extra options."
"I would like the solution to be implemented more easily for teams and directly on Android or iOS devices."
"I believe that more granular customization, improved user feedback, expanded integration, and performance optimization would improve Check Point Harmony Browse."
"Having local support everywhere in the world would be helpful."
"Check Point Harmony Browse can be improved by reducing false positive reports."
"One suggestion for improvement is if the Check Point Browse team can add more plugins to support more third-party browsers such as Opera and Safari."
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"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."
"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."
"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."
"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 customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a reasonable pricing."
"The price is not very expensive for our organisation, but for others, it might be a little expensive."
"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 pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"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 price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"The solution is not that expensive."
