Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Provides detailed behavior analysis while needing improvements in signature detection
I use Cuckoo Sandbox primarily for automated malware behavior analysis. Specifically, it helps me extract indicators of compromise (IOC) to add to different platforms in the security environment of my company Cuckoo can show me every behavior in a machine. For example, it shows all files…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution."
"Using the preboot VPN option, we can reset a user who is working remotely that has forgotten their Windows login credentials."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"Scaling Perimeter 81 was easy to do."
"Its most effective feature is controlling employee access to specific applications. I can manage and monitor every step of the access process."
"It helps to quickly get access to the pages I need."
"The installation is very easy."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"More report and alert options would be useful."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"In order to be able to invite users, send the agent and implement it, the user input must be generated manually."
"The Point locations need to improve the latency and speed."
"It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."
"As it is a new market solution, I still face some instabilities in access at certain times of the day when I have more than 150 users using it simultaneously."
"They should work towards the WAN intergration."
"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."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution's licenses depends on the particular use cases."
"Perimeter 81 charges separately for gateways and VPN connectivity, but compared to Azure, it seemed more reasonable."
"I consider the product to be a medium-priced solution. There are no additional costs attached to the tool."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"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."
"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."
