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.

Management team gains substantial protection while navigating ongoing configuration challenges

The most valuable features of Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include our approach to manage it via the management we have on-premises, and we also deploy the same extension management of CloudGuard to manage all the virtual systems on Azure. We effectively use artificial intelligence with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security, as we have teams that work with AI and we frequently manage our firewalls using AI along with the CloudGuard and all virtual systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"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."

"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."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development."

"We have a strong sense of security assurance when utilizing CloudGuard, as it consistently delivers outstanding protection capabilities."

"You can maintain a legal framework structure at all times."

"Knowing what measures we must take allows us to reduce costs associated with security in the cloud by providing early identification of a risk or a possible security breach."

"The data center security system has provided real-time analytics on performance and data configuration processes."

"I can recommend Check Point CloudGuard Code Security to other organizations as it is a good platform to protect our organization."

"The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple."

"We have had a number of real events where developers accidentally made commits of API keys, and we were able to detect and begin response actions in minutes. We had the API key revoked in less than five minutes in such events."

More Check Point CloudGuard Code Security pros

"Since Mimecast has been introduced into our system, we have been very effective at tackling phishing emails and helping our organization remain secure."

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

"Once the deployment was done we had immediate time savings and reliability improvements."

"The best part of CrashPlan is that it just works; it's a solid, well-written product with great support that gives users a sense of security about the data that keeps the business working."

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

"If you are looking for a reliable, private cloud, comprehensive endpoint backup solution CrashPlan is one of the best choices you can make!"

"This has been the easiest, most reliable backup product I have ever used."

"I see a return on investment with Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection because it saves us time, making us happier."

Cons

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

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"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."

"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."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"The ease of use could be better."

"I would like this solution to be extended to cellular devices or tablets."

"We need to have many of the baselines or development guides providing less complex writing or development."

"I am satisfied with the performance and results enhanced by this product since we deployed it."

"The solution should improve false-positives."

"This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly."

"They could include web functionalities such as sandboxing."

"There needs to be better security around API integration."

More Check Point CloudGuard Code Security cons

"Would like to see the ability to bulk clear alerts in the admin console in a future release."

"I would highlight reporting and analytics improvement. While the dashboard looks great, getting highly customized reports out of the system without using an external API can be difficult."

"This is my only major issue with Code42 at this point."

"The GUI doesn't always show the most current settings upon opening a screen."

"I think the UI of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be more optimized, as it feels slow and laggy at points."

"CrashPlan deployment and integration with existing systems was easy, but the interface could be more helpful to non-tech savvy users."

"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."

"Even with the constant improvements coming quarterly, I would definitely appreciate the night mode in the administrator console to be brought back."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The prices are slightly expensive."

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

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"It is extremely affordable and high value for cost."

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

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

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

"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."
