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 has blocked sophisticated phishing and now protects inboxes with AI detection
The only challenge with Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is that it is an API-based solution. In an API-based solution, the major challenge is that it can read email content and Google Drive content. This presents a data privacy challenge, and we had to mitigate it by signing a Data Processing Agreement and other agreements. Because it is not a traditional in-line solution, Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) connects with Google Workspace using API permission and can access email, attachments, sender, recipient information, links, and all metadata is with Check Point. Data storage and everything else is with Check Point, which is the challenge. This solution has a drawback because of API deployment, while other solutions are traditional secure email gateways that are in-line solutions. In those solutions, we need to change the MX record, but with this solution we do not need to change the MX record, which is a pro of API-based deployment. However, there is also a con in that with API solutions, the email is scanned but after delivery in the mailbox.

Centralized protection has transformed email security and incident investigations by reducing false positives and improving behavioral threat detection
The challenges include the challenge of finalizing a product that has all the security features or capabilities that are usually required. For example, if there is an EDR platform that's just monitoring IDS signatures, it won't be as beneficial as one with behavioral monitoring and other critical aspects required according to the best practices of the industry. Additionally, if there is a product that can provide a centralized view Trend Vision One does, it really grabs the customer's interest because customers usually don't have to buy separate EDR, XDR, or SIEM solutions or a console for their SOC analyst or email security team. These challenges consist of managing multiple teams and products. Trend Micro Email Security comes in and solves these problems.Trend Micro Email Security is generally a bit more difficult to implement compared to the rest of the solutions such as network security modules or EDR modules, which are much easier. Trend Micro Email Security has some complexities in implementation, but there aren't any significant shortcomings that require Trend Micro to improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"Cloudflare is simple to use."
"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."
"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."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"The phishing filtering feature is valuable for me because it stops most of the phishing emails before they hit the users' inboxes, ensuring that users don't see the infected or phishing emails."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"The incorporated AI capabilities are particularly notable, functioning as AI versus AI, and it has protected us from various threats with a nice dashboard that shows if anything is missed by MS 365."
"It protects cloud email and collaboration suites from cyber-attacks that evade default and advanced security tools. Its invisible, multi-layer security enables full-suite protection for cloud collaboration solutions such as Office 365, G-Suite, Teams, and Slack."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size."
"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"It does a good job of ensuring users are not compromised via email."
"Trend Micro Email Security [EOL] is a money-saving solution, protecting the company data and the company employees, so I think it is saving money."
"The solution's most valuable feature is ATP (Advanced Threat Protection), which utilizes the machine learning algorithm."
"The most valuable features include email filtering to block spam and phishing attempts, the use of DMARC for email authentication, and robust malware scanning."
"Trend Micro Email Security scans all email attachments because, nowadays, ransomware or malware files are sent through email attachments."
"The product is quite strong, and that is one reason most clients are replacing their existing email security solutions with it."
"I find the anti-phishing and anti-spam features most valuable because they reduce false positives and enhance security."
"It is mostly stable."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."
"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."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email."
"During the East Coast server outage with Amazon service this week, mail was delivered and then pulled back because Harmony wasn't working properly and needed to scan it."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"Stability has been a pain point. I was going back and forth with my product engineer and project manager for a couple of months. I had the product in a demonstration mode and wasn't satisfied with the results initially. After a few alterations and a few revisions later, it is fine."
"The worst thing that I have faced with Check Point has been their support."
"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."
"Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix."
"The solution's configuration policy should be easier."
"There is room for improvement in mobile device management. The company also needs to work on pricing because it is quite costly compared to other products."
"I wish Trend Micro Email Security [EOL] could improve by ensuring that if an attachment sent from an email is suspicious, it should be opened in another remote environment built by Trend Micro."
"The time to answer is a long time. It takes maybe three or four days until we have the answer for a case."
"Trend Micro Email Security can improve on scam detection. It could use AI in this area."
"The solution does not check scam emails which is a critical need for our customers."
"While they are good, not 100% of email is protected just yet."
"I think when incidents occur with Trend Micro Email Security [EOL], the support should be a bit faster with response times."
