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.

Email security effectively detects a wide range of threats and improves productivity

Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable. While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

Data protection and feature-rich capabilities have improved with room for reducing false positives

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a good product that provides deep fingerprinting capabilities in data exploring and data discovery. They have an excellent feature for discovering data automatically through policies available in their portal, and they excel in data discovery and classification. The solution offers database fingerprinting, file fingerprinting, and script-based policies, along with automatic data discovery exploration. Fingerprinting automatically discovers customer data in our database and, based on sensitivity, detects and blocks the data if someone attempts unauthorized access. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a web threat security product offering content inspection and URL filtering with built-in DLP capabilities. It proactively identifies web-based threats using tools such as advanced classification, browser isolation, and malware detection. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention's solution focuses on internal risks and monitoring user activity to identify abnormal behavior, offering forensic tools such as login and video replay to understand intent. Data classification is an advanced tool we have used for classifying our data. The main feature is AI-powered, called DSP. The classification capability leverages a distributed AI architecture feature and GenAI small language models to classify both structured and unstructured data. It supports 50 file types and continuously improves accuracy with user feedback, enabling auto-discovery across cloud, endpoint, and on-premises data stores without extra cost of repeated scans.

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, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"It is a stable solution."

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."

"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."

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

"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 is simple to use."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."

"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."

"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."

"The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent."

"Check Point is a leader in the market."

"As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts."

"I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment."

"The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pros

"The workflow remediation is quite good. That is a key feature because of which it has the upper hand over other DLP solutions."

"We don't require a lot of downtime, but when we do then we are getting proper support with no issue."

"We like the ability to customize our requirements and rules, as well as its ease of use and management. It also has a cloud feature and proxy functionality."

"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."

"The product is good and reliable, the vendor company is continually improving it, and they seem to stay one step ahead."

"With OCR and Risk Analysis, we are able to determine if anything sensitive is been shared. OCR helps us to safeguard those things and with risk ranking, we can determine which user is trying to violate policies multiple times even though they have been blocked to him or her."

"The Forcepoint tool is well developed, is ranked in many evaluations at the top when it comes to enterprise DLP solutions, and has good artificial intelligence that enables our customers to focus on specific incidents instead of having a complicated list of uncategorized incidents."

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides the user with plenty of control."

More Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

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

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

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

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

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

"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."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

More Cloudflare One cons

"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."

"The implementation could definitely be better."

"The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English."

"The portal site is a bit slow at times. Plus, all new functions seem to be 'add-ons' instead of just being part of the platform."

"We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected."

"Integration is currently limited to Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite."

"Initial Learning Mode takes a while."

"Other vendor support teams go after fixing the issue the moment that they join the remote session. The problem that I have faced with Check Point support is that they share the case number with me, then it takes at least two days for them to join a remote session with us, even though we have asked for this timeframe to change. Even though we have already explained the problems that we are facing or the business pain points in our network on the call or email, we have to repeat the problem statements again in the console. It can take four or five days to resolve the issue from the moment they understand the problem. This includes the time to teach their R&D or internal team whatever the issue is. I have faced timeframes as long as seven to 10 days for fixing some issues."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) cons

"Feature requests do take some time to implement."

"There is room for improvement regarding OCR. I would like to see it enhanced to handle multiple languages and it should be easier to manage."

"I would like to see the product extended into the cloud as a single solution."

"The policy update size and agent size could be improved. We would also like to have a proper solution for Linux OS which Forcepoint does not offer."

"It does not serve our purpose."

"An area for improvement in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the complex UI and policy deployment. You have to find the policies, and then designing the policies is also tricky."

"The thing that would make it a ten for me would be for the company to improve the technical implementation; it should be better organized."

"If you are a macOS user, there are issues in the area of USB control."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The solution is not that 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."

"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."

"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven and a half."

"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is on an annual basis."

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is costlier than other brands, but not all. Of the solutions, I have used Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more costly."

"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."

"The pricing is reasonable. That's why we went with Forcepoint. They were pretty competitive."
