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.

Strong endpoint protection has simplified compliance and reduced effort for large user environments

One of the best features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is its endpoint security, and I have been using it for the last four and a half to five years, so I can say this is one of the best EDR endpoint security solutions I have ever seen. The features that make Trellix Endpoint Security Platform stand out for me are ease of use and analytics, which I really appreciate the most. Trellix Endpoint Security Platform positively impacts my organization, ensuring we are compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, and all other compliance requirements, so there are no issues with that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Customer Service: Awesome. They listened to me and helped reached my goal."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has positively impacted my organization by enabling investigation of risk behavior and user behavior, reducing potential data leakages, improving awareness of sensitive data handling across users, strengthening compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements, and streamlining incident investigation through centralized case management."

"Set-and-forget (but email reports are available) backup process."

"This backup solution seems to be the best on the market."

"Having an enterprise backup solution in place instead of relying on odd one-off solutions, such as time machine, easily saves $20,000+ in desktop support and admin time a year."

"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has impacted my organization positively by protecting our environment from malicious links and spam."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros

"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."

"Endpoint Protection 10.1 is a very complete endpoint protection solution that gives complete protection for endpoints."

"I think that in the enterprise space, this is by far the best solution and not because the actual antivirus."

"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."

"The best features Trellix Endpoint Security Platform offers are the advanced capabilities of their management platform and the effectiveness of the various configuration settings that can be applied, which for specific customers is really useful to have."

"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."

"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."

"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."

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

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

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

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"I am waiting for them to develop an app that can be installed on a smartphone or tablet that backs up the data as it does for computers."

"We had one server that has tendency to make the client stop, but usually fixes itself if you give it a few hours."

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

"Improved reporting on backup progress."

"I think one we can improve is the compression."

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

"It's very user friendly...when it works."

"If anything, make integrating cloud storage a little bit easier - I'd love to be able to choose the cloud I'm going to push to, but it's hard to find instructions for doing that."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons

"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."

"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."

"Support-wise they need to be better."

"We had a very large problem that has, unfortunately, not been solved. Simply put, when we start the computer the program will not start."

"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."

"I would like the product deployment to be made simpler."

"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."

"The deployment from the ePolicy Orchestator console to either re-imaged or rebuilt laptops was sporadic and not reliable enough to be standalone."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

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

"The solution is not that expensive."

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

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"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 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."

"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."

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

"The price of this product is good."

"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."

"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."

"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."

"This product is costly."

"Annual license fee is good"
