We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very intuitive. It is a point and click type of deal.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers.""For Threat Prevention, I was impressed with this feature and the solution's effectiveness. It has been very good.""We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual.""It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments.""The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal.""Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud.""The product's environment is easy to work and comprehensive."

"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature.""It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple.""The customer service and support are very good.""It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange.""The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control.""The policies are very easy to implement.""As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."

Cons
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website.""The implementation could definitely be better.""A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module.""Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents.""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.""There could be more automation features included for it.""Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level.""Its guides are not great."

"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels. Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level. I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response. There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP.""On the improvement side, when we bypass certain internet traffic types, it's currently recommended to have a one-click option, but audio and video aren't always supported. Thus, we need to bypass that kind of traffic. So, it is an area of improvement.""The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console.""Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced.""They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection.""The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex.""You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language.""There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration."

    Overview

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office is a cloud-based software offering complete protection to stop malware attacks through emails. The software is designed to provide protection for organizations using Office 365, G Suite, Google Workspace, and all other collaboration and file-sharing apps. Access permissions can be granted and custom policies can be defined for any user of choice.

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office identifies and blocks advanced malware, phishing, and ransomware attacks in real time before they reach the user’s inbox. In turn, this also helps protect sensitive business data from breaches. Harmony Email and Office was the first solution to implement machine learning, API, and AI for email security, and will ultimately prevent any attempts at account takeover via agentless multi-factor authentication.

    What is Complete Protection?

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office offers a superior catch rate for collaboration apps and cloud email with their API-based solution that detects attacks that other solutions miss, including account takeover, supply chain attacks, ransomware, and BEC. The complete protection offers:

    • Malware Protection - Recognized by NSS Labs as “most effective in breach prevention,” the solution leverages technologies to bring clean files to users within 1.5 seconds. In addition, enterprises can be safer as the solution prevents malicious messages and files from reaching the user’s inbox.
    • Data Leakage Protection - Any confidential or sensitive information will be marked and have a classified suffix added to the end of the message or file to help keep those materials safe. Those files are encrypted, and the user will be alerted to any attempted breach of those messages.
    • Phishing Protection - Before advanced phishing attacks reach the end user, Harmony Email and Office detects and blocks them, including outbound, inbound, and internal communications.
    • Account Takeover Protection - After a user connects their cloud app, the solution captures the user's history and creates a profile and a custom threat profile. In the event of a suspected account takeover, threat intelligence is leveraged through millions of Check Point-secured gateways and endpoints and is blocked.
