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.

Helps to detect and generate reports on phishing emails and saves from email compromises
We use the solution for marketing and brand protection.  I am impressed with the tool's discovery capabilities which help me find out who is sending the emails on the company's behalf. I also find the ability to detect and generate reports on phishing emails a valuable feature.  The product's…

Real-time threat response has boosted detection accuracy and reduces manual investigation work
I have had challenges in the past with Trellix Collaboration Security for implementation because of issues related to compatibility. Since we worked in a global company with different operating systems, it was necessary to create different plans and different actions to implement the product.One thing I really do not prefer in Trellix Collaboration Security is not related to the console. I am a McAfee fan since the McAfee tool, and I find the console of Trellix Collaboration Security to be very user-friendly and easy to use. However, I do not know if it is related to the architecture of the product. Of course, we have modern threats based on behaviors and zero days. We have today CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, where we have better results based on threats and behavior, where it is possible to create a simulation environment based on the file detected and based on it, confirm if it really is malicious or not. In general, I believe Trellix Collaboration Security improved the console based on the last console of McAfee, but I think it is possible to improve more. It really is a good product, but in my view, it needs to improve detection based on behaviors. Regarding automations, I have implemented Trellix Collaboration Security here at Johnson & Johnson, and I implemented it in the same situation at Santander Bank and BNP Paribas Bank, where I created automations to export data for different metrics, including malicious detections, compliance, baselines, scans, last scans based on the seven days, and checking of patterns. I export everything to CSV files. Based on that, I create Power BI dashboards, and in these Power BI dashboards, I have a more executive view for different metrics to provide to myself, my manager, or director to create an executive view based on it. Another important point we use here at Johnson & Johnson and other companies is a data hub or a SIEM solution, such as Elastic or ArcSight, where we select some logs to be sent and use it to build reports and metrics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."
"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 tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"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."
"Agari gives us visibility of our domain security, helps us manage our SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, prevents spoofing of our domains for phishing and ensures that our marketing and other emails are received correctly and not rejected as spam."
"It comes with a lot of helpful tips for complicated areas."
"If spam or some kind of malicious email gets past Mimecast and gets into our email environment, we can go into Agari and we can search for it."
"It is really important for large companies to have the brand protection that is provided by Agari."
"Agari offers very good brand protection and they are the core founder of the DMARC standard."
"I am impressed with the tool's discovery capabilities which help me find out who is sending the emails on the company's behalf. I also find the ability to detect and generate reports on phishing emails a valuable feature."
"They are very flexible as far as feature requests go."
"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The product protects my email."
"It is one of the greatest solutions to have or to complement any other security solution such as Proofpoint or IronPort."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"Feedback could be enhanced."
"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."
"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"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 Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"The product's user interface is clunky. We have difficulty in finding what we need. I would also like to see automation in the onboarding processes."
"Some customers in the financial sector do not like the cloud solution because they don't want data to be transferred to a US-based cloud."
"The protocol is quite complicated, which may not be something that could be improved, but it would be better if it was simplified."
"Some customers in the financial sector do not like the cloud solution because they don't want data to be transferred to a US-based cloud."
"The protocol is quite complicated, which may not be something that could be improved, but it would be better if it was simplified."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"I chose a nine out of ten because some improvements are required, especially concerning East-West traffic or zero-day vulnerabilities."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is not that expensive."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"The tool is not expensive and I would rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The price of the licensing is based on the volume of email."
"The pricing depends on the number of users; per how many mailboxes you have, but they're pretty negotiable with that, too."
"The cost is very high."

"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
