We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Connect and Netskope based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users appreciate the more comprehensive security features offered by Check Point Harmony Connect, including file emulation, USB control, and full disk encryption. Check Point Harmony Connect also has HTTPS decryption, SAML integration, and Zero Trust Network Access, as well as granular policies, monitoring, and weekly reports. Although Netskope has valuable features, such as cloud app authorization and classification, users have reported needing better integration with other solutions and improved support services. Check Point Harmony Connect's pricing and licensing are generally acceptable, with some flexibility depending on the user's location and situation.
"The solution is stable."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The solution offers both client and clientless versions for good remote access."
"The Check Point portfolio showcases very strong products."
"Now that we use Harmony Connect, the files are inspected and we are sure that no malicious content is inside the company."
"The scalability is good, and I'd give it an eight out of ten."
"The monitoring and granular policies are very helpful."
"The reports give a simple overview of the traffic pattern within the organization."
"One of the most valuable features found using Harmony is being able to monitor in a simple and orderly way."
"I have found the most useful features to be the Web Secure Gateway, CASB, infrastructural service scanning, and Zero Trust."
"The initial setup of Netskope CASB is easy, it is not complex."
"They are very good at CASB as compared to other players."
"The feature that I like best is the GUI."
"The most valuable features were related to discovery, data protection, and ensuring compliance with regulations."
"The most valuable feature of Netskope is protection."
"Netskope is a really good product. I cannot segregate which features are the most valuable. We find most of the features to be valuable. It gives us what we are looking for."
"The interface is good."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Providing USB control in a Linux environment will give more control over data security."
"Branding could be better."
"Automation and scalability are areas where the solution lacks and needs to improve."
"Sometimes downloading PDF files can be slow."
"They should work towards the WAN intergration."
"Support is one of the points of improvement."
"The product needs to work on the integration of alerts with different SIEM or security solutions."
"Regarding the support, the schedules can be improved since they are generally in another geographical area, and it is difficult to solve the problems with the time differences between them and us."
"They could improve their mobile agents as they have some limitations."
"There could be room for improvement in the subscription process."
"I would like to have an identity theft protection function."
"Support services could definitely be improved. Support is the one area that can always use improvement. It's an evolving thing, so based on demand and based on market requirement and the way market is moving towards."
"I deduced two points: one for their feature modification and one for the feature maturity of the solution."
"There should be some granular custom roles that are not available. However, this is on the road map. There are many devices that do not have the Zero Trust feature and other enhancements available which they should have."
"The configuration in the cloud model could be improved upon."
"In some cases, when you have a lot of policies, it can get confusing for users and you can get lost in the GUI."
