Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility
I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

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.

Automated scans have classified sensitive data and protect privacy in complex environments
When someone asks where sensitive data is located and to classify it, they would start working manually and would take four or five months to detect only that sensitive data. Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention helps significantly. They have a predefined template, and whatever category comes under sensitive data has been researched with almost 99% accuracy and included in the template. A person needs to attach the template and scan their data. Once initiated, it will take time, such as 24 hours or 48 hours, depending on the data size. Once the template is applied and the system scans it, a tagging report of the sensitive data locations is returned. A report is available, and what previously would have taken a month can now be achieved by Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention services in detecting sensitive PII data within 48 hours maximum, even if the data size is larger. Once the report is available, the person would know where the sensitive data is located. Dealing with sensitive data is the next question. If data is not to be shared, it has to be hidden, masked, or changed. All kinds of things can be applied to dealing with that data. Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention has another feature available called de-identification services, which deals with sensitive data in applications or production environments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites. If we use Cloudflare DNS and update one record, it updates in their office instantly."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"The API is its most valuable feature. On the API side, relative to the rest of the market, Check Point is decades ahead of its competitors."
"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"Based on domain and URL reputation, it will allow traffic to flow."
"Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers online support and has tight integration with Microsoft."
"It is user- friendly and has a easy integration."
"These tasks can be achieved by Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention services in a programmatic way, very quickly and very efficiently."
 

Cons

"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."
"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option."
"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)."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."
"The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter."
"The documentation is a little unintuitive, and I make an additional effort for the first deployment."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."
"Improvement are made as per client requirement."
"Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention has a system, but it is not very mature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"Cost is the main concern that every customer takes into consideration, and Check Point always negotiates a price that is affordable."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"The product’s price is very high."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"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."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
