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.

Comprehensive email protection has secured sensitive communications and simplified threat management

Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is a good product right now, and the report is available in Spanish, which is beneficial for Latin Americans who speak Spanish. They can continue to improve the pricing because it is the most important aspect, as another solution is aggressive with a lower cost and includes everything. While Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is good right now, it would be better to improve the price. At the end, the client sees the price, and in Puerto Rico, the market is different than in the United States since here the client sees price independent of security. I have more effort to explain the difference between price versus technology, which is important because in Latin America, the price may not be the same as in the US due to the company's increase not being the same volume. When clients have many mailboxes, the price is more important than the technology. I do not know why, but this really happens.

Experience high detection and user-friendly policies with reliable email security implementation

The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary. As an IT engineer, I understand how it works, but explaining it to another IT person can be difficult. Having more user-friendly dashboards would improve the work experience. In Mimecast Email Security, checking policies in the dictionary or gateway is very complicated, and not everyone understands this process. If you examine the Check Point portal, it's user-friendly with easily accessible tabs that anyone can explore. With Mimecast Email Security, making changes might impact existing mailboxes. The portal is complicated compared to Check Point's user-friendly interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"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 is a stable solution."

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

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

"Clover is the best product globally."

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

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

More Cloudflare One pros

"The best part is, I rarely have to access the portal as everything is set up and tweaked the way I wanted it. But the feature set is incredibly granular and allows for deep levels of customization."

"Backup and restore are precious features."

"This service has allowed me to focus on my core environment and ensure the safety of my customer's data."

"My advice for people considering using Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is that the simplicity is the best option because Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection includes everything in one platform and provides a 360-degree view."

"Hornetsecurity 365 Total Protection is an easy-to-use solution."

"I have a lot of control over spam and phishing emails."

"The most valuable feature is the DMARC Analyzer."

"It's good, it keeps the spam out."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."

"The interface of this solution is very easy to navigate and user-friendly. There is no delivery in email and other communications, making it reliable. The configuration is relatively easy."

"It has all the features required for distribution, such as the ability to mail."

"It's really quite user-friendly. In terms of technical superiority and the product itself, there are no complaints. It is really cutting edge."

More Mimecast Email and Collaboration Threat Protection pros

Cons

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

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

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

"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."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"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."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

More Cloudflare One cons

"I guess I would say maybe quick access to training material for end-users."

"They can continue to improve the pricing because it is the most important aspect, as another solution is aggressive with a lower cost and includes everything."

"A reduction of 10% in pricing can be an improvement."

"I guess I would say maybe quick access to training material for end-users. I know partners have access to this but I as an end-user do not have immediate access to new update information."

"The solution’s pricing is not reasonable."

"The pricing is a little high compared to other products."

"Mimecast need to ensure that the body text format is correctly handled and that images are properly embedded in the body text."

"The price could be better, it should be reduced."

"Mimecast needs to reduce the number of false positive emails; a big pain point for us."

"This solution can be frustrating. It blocks many things that should be going through."

"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."

"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."

"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult."

"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult. It's not something that the end-user can easily find navigate themselves."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

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

"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 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 prices are slightly expensive."

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

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The pricing is acceptable and falls into the medium range, neither cheap nor overly expensive."

"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"It's an expensive solution."

"Compared to the other solutions in the market, Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection's pricing is fine."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."

"The customers can select the license packages as per their requirements."

"It is a bit expensive."

"Its price is in the middle range. It is a structured licensing model where there are various components that you can add or choose to add or not."
