Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Steve Bowtell - PeerSpot reviewer
Exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues
The solution's interface appears very simple, but it is very complicated in the back end. So, it removes all the complications that an MSP or an MSSP would normally have. The solution's maintenance depends on whether you run it like an MDR platform where you provide the detection response part for the customer. That would normally be the MSP part. Sometimes, you have customers who are just happy to get an email and tell them what the problem is, and they fix it themselves. If there's no in-house expertise, the MSP or the MSSP can do the maintenance. If there's in-house expertise, it's just a matter of advising them. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The UI is good."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"The feature I find to be most valuable is very much the zero-touch provisioning. I was able to be up, operational, and 100 percent functional in less than a half an hour."
"The solution helps to block spam emails."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout."
"As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience."
"The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution."
"The solution is exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues."
 

Cons

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."
"Some files are not scanned thoroughly due to occasional network failures."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"We have used technical support, but their response time is very slow. It needs to be improved."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"The business team should be further expanded, and more peer feedback should be made available publicly to have better and complete visibility of the application globally."
"The cost is a little bit expensive."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"The solution's security awareness training and phishing are very United States-focused and don't work very well in Australia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"The product’s price is very high."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher."
"The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"I like Guardz's pricing model because it's very cost-effective and has no long-term commitments."
