Room For Improvement

Check Point Harmony Browse needs improvements in customization, integration, security, support, and user experience to meet diverse user needs.
Skyhigh Security needs enhancements in reporting, support, API capabilities, and performance to improve user experience and efficiency.
The user interface can be better, and selecting the action for monitored or watch-listed IOCs can be more refined.

Another area of improvement is extension compatibility since it currently works best with Chrome and Edge, but having wider browser support for Firefox and Safari would be beneficial for mixed environments.
Pre Sales Consultant at Redington Group
Integrating with Fortinet, Palo Alto, or third-party SIEM products such as Splunk would be a seamless advantage.

Setup Cost

Check Point Harmony Browse is flexible, scalable, and valued for easy setup, beneficial pricing, and effective security for organizations.
Skyhigh Security offers flexible yet potentially higher pricing, with costs depending on user numbers and required features.
Smaller projects tend to be more expensive due to fewer licenses, while larger projects of 500 to 2,000 users benefit from better pricing and discounts.
Security Solution Architect at TD SYNNEX
There were no significant upfront hardware or infrastructure costs since it's delivered as a native cloud service.
Assistant Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
It is not too high compared to what we expected, but it is not too cheap either, which is why I rate it five.
Information security professional at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
After switching, cost savings would be in the millions since we were having many VPN edge routers, and there were many VPN tunnels utilized on the cloud, and after moving to ZTNA, we were able to cut the cost.
Information Security Specialist at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
The pricing and licensing was generally aligned with the number of users and the models, and the cost depends on the scope, but I think Skyhigh Security has great pricing for the market.
Sales Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Regarding pricing, the licensing and pricing for Skyhigh Security, especially for SWG, is cheap.

Featured Reviews

Assistant Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
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.

Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.
