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.

Ensures seamless real-time alerts and smooth deployment with room for Linux functionality improvement

The licensing issue was eventually resolved by the team, but the Linux client issue persisted. Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows. That was somewhat of a downside for us. I cannot speak to whether they have improved this in the past two years. An area for improvement is that when a package is provided, there should be no additional elements required from the user's side. For instance, there is an activation key, and you have to specify the host where you need to redirect and fetch the license. That was disappointing when it comes to mass deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"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, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"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."

"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"

"Compared to all other backup solutions that I have encountered, Crashplan is a pleasure to use."

"This product is great for data recovery."

"Code42 Crashplan has saved us large amounts of time and money."

"This company stands out on its customer support."

"If you treasure your digital content – this is the solution for you."

"It has saved many users from the loss of hundreds of hours of work."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection stands out the most, with URL protection, link scanning, blocking of users, and creation of multiple profile groups, gateways, and policies as valuable features, and there have been many positive changes with Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection since implementation, and we feel it is working out positively."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros

"The key point is that it allowed us to meet a complex cybersecurity requirement mandated by the government, and it was cost-effective."

"Endpoint Protector is a facet of our visibility into the environment, but it's a daily-use facet."

"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."

"Things are more systematic now, and the headache of the IT team is gone."

"There are many vendors out there who do protection access of external devices, however, I haven't found any vendors other than Endpoint Protector who let you enable or disable the device without being on WiFi or Internet, just by giving a code, which is a very good option for our workforce in remote locations with extremely weak Internet connections."

"There are a lot of features, but the main feature is that I can use a device serial number to unlock any particular machine or for all machines. If I have a phone, like a Samsung phone, I can whitelist that specific phone for full access wherever it is plugged into any of our devices. This is the same with a USB, because most USBs come in bulk and have the same serial number. I can then whitelist that particular USB to be read-write with full access."

"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."

"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

Cons

"Feedback could be enhanced."

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

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Sometimes we do encounter vague answers for some of the queries we have, but apart from that, the customer support response has always been very good."

"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."

"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."

"The licenses are not so cheap, but are also scalable to your number of customers."

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

"Upgrade process a bit time consuming, but worth the time."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved because we struggled with configurations."

"From time to time, you will see issues with the software not connecting to the on-premise server, or the client crashes on a users machine."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons

"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."

"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."

"It misses Network level DLP and SaaS DLP offerings."

"When we started, the price was reasonable, but it has been increasing over time."

"When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere."

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."

"The areas of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that need to be improved include a desire for more graphical interfaces in their systems, as many people today would prefer to see graphical formats for data presentation."

"The policy engine could use a bit of work. It's somewhat lacking in terms of the granularity of the policies that you can create."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"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 prices are slightly expensive."

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

"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."

"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 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."

"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."

"The product has average pricing."

"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."

"This solution was not too cheap or too expensive. But for the amount of features that they are offering, it was reasonable."

"We have a limited budget for our media section. When we purchased it last year, we migrated from a different solution to this solution, and at that time, they told us that the cost will remain the same, but this year, they increased the price by 20% or something like that. I am not sure about the exact price, but let's say from 8,000, it increased to 10,000. It was a huge gap, and we couldn't bear this cost because we have a limited budget. When we spoke to them, they understood our problem and reduced it to the same price that we had last year."
