Featured Reviews

Delivers seamless and secure remote access while enhancing security posture
Check Point Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) offers strong features, but there are areas that could be improved. One area for improvement is integration with third-party identity providers. It works with standard SAML and SSO, but we would prefer deeper integrations with solutions such as Ping for more advanced identity-based policies. Additionally, a mobile-specific client or lightweight agent would be helpful for securing access from smartphones, especially in BYOD environments. We would appreciate more granular reporting and analytics, including better drill-down capabilities to investigate specific users or app activity. The logs are comprehensive, but filtering them can sometimes feel messy. The user interface on the management portal could be more intuitive, especially when managing multiple sites or remote offices. Some of the policy configuration steps are nested and could be streamlined.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The DRP is the most valuable feature."
"Perimeter 81 provides a very secure and non-disruptive experience."
"The tool is easy to use and set up."
"The Harmony Connect solution helped by unifying in a single portal all the necessary accesses for the company's internal employees, such as RDP, SSH, bank access databases, and even internal portals, bringing security and organization to the entire environment and facilitating employee access with a single, centralized login to the entire environment."
"It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms."
"It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too. The app has in-house support with user guides that give you step-by-step walkthroughs on navigating the app. In addition, there is a live chat feature that offers prompt assistance on the go."
"Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution."
"The Zero Trust and segmentation have helped my team and our customers significantly because we are able to protect every scope and allow the work-from-home users to access internal resources while passing through a threat prevention gateway, ensuring that everything is safe."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"The support is not very good."
"When it comes to firewall configuration, sometimes we encounter issues."
"They should work towards the WAN intergration."
"The platform's pricing can be an issue for smaller companies, as the cost may be higher than for larger organizations."
"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area that can be improved"
"The access to the portal should be faster. It shouldn't crash a lot."
"Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity."
"In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I consider the product to be a medium-priced solution. There are no additional costs attached to the tool."
"The pricing of Check Point is relatively high when compared to other competitors like Palo Alto and Fortinet. While Palo Alto may be on the higher side in terms of cost, Check Point's pricing is similar to that of Fortinet. In some cases, Check Point offers better value for the features it provides. We initially considered other options but ultimately decided to purchase hardware that came with three years of iOS. This approach eliminated the need for any additional costs associated with Check Point. I would rate it 10 out of 10."
"The pricing is good, especially when you compare it to other firewall or UTM solutions from FortiGate or SonicWall, where you would have to invest about four hundred thousand rupees for 100 users over a three-year period."
"Annual licenses cost $30 to $40 each."
"Regarding pricing, I can say that the more the number of users, the less they have to pay."
"The solution's pricing model may not be suitable for smaller companies, as they might find it expensive. Larger companies tend to receive more value due to many users."
"I would rate Harmony Connect's pricing at six out of ten. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive."
"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
