Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Insider threats have been detected faster and internal data exposure is now controlled

Regarding how Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved, sometimes the tool is slightly laggy, wherein it would take some time for us to fetch the related logs from the Mimecast portal, and that of course can be improved. There could also be a graph or a kind of a graph where, if the organization has a smaller number of employees, it is fine, but if it has a large number of employees and different departments, then in that case, Mimecast could give us an AI suggestion upon how to improvise the current security posture, how we stand and where we can go up to in terms of implementing or tweaking the policies. As the organization's size gets bigger, it would also be better if Mimecast could provide some solutions upon how to segregate the users into groups and what groups can have which policies. Those kinds of features can be added. Regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security could improve as I am not entirely sure how it works. It would be helpful if Mimecast could, as the AI capabilities are in place, maintain a strict governance policy upon the data that is being processed, especially for user personally identifiable information. As insider risk management sometimes also gets into the personal details of the user, organizations might be hesitant; even we are also hesitant to use the AI capabilities. If Mimecast could provide more information about how they store the data and whether the agents are local agents or cloud-hosted agents, that would be of great help for the organizations to consider its AI capabilities while adhering to the compliance needs of a particular organization.

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows

The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Customer service is fantastic as they are very quick to respond and will help you out with any and every question."

"The reason for us moving over to CrashPlan was cost and retention, as we saved the company $6000 a year using CrashPlan and no more "surprise, you are out of space" messages."

"Endpoint monitoring and data backup from Code42 and their software Crashplan has been a great piece of software for our organization, allowing our IT staff to troubleshoot and restore data to machines that may have un-recoverable data due to damage makes it significantly easier."

"Customer Service: Best support portal I have ever used."

"CrashPlan, in general, is a great tool to have because backups are essential."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has positively impacted my organization as earlier we were struggling with insider risk wherein we were not having any control over it."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection positively impacts my organization by helping us thoroughly check any kind of data that should not be mishandled, primarily for endpoint users who are sending organization documents outside."

"This company stands out on its customer support."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros

"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."

"It's quite stable; there are no performance issues or concerns that we have received so far."

"It's easy to use."

"I would like to recommend the solution; it's better and, pricing wise, it's worth it, especially compared to other advanced malware security solutions in the market that are very costly."

"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."

"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."

"The support that we get from McAfee is excellent."

"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

More Cloudflare One cons

"It is a little confusing for users when they are replacing a laptop - a couple have wiped out their backup by choosing "adopt" before they do a restore."

"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."

"We would like to see a little more flexibility in the reporting from the admin console."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved in the user interface; the UI is still very outdated and not functional, and there is no AI chatbot that would help us navigate through the interface."

"The biggest area to improve would be notifications for admins."

"Hey, Code 42! Isn't it time that we lose the Java dependency??"

"Java, please get rid of Java."

"Download speeds could be faster when restoring from the cloud."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons

"The product is not bad, but there may be somethings that need to be modified."

"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."

"One of the drawbacks to the solution is that it is not 100% secure."

"The main reason that we moved from McAfee to Cylance is that McAfee is still a signature-based product."

"Their support is not good and needs to be improved."

"I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well."

"The security of this solution needs improvement."

"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."

"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."

"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."

"The product pricing is high."

"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."

"No comment."

"Annual license fee is good"

"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
