We performed a comparison between Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Our users prefer Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks over Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Prisma Cloud offers extensive visibility, continuous cloud compliance monitoring, and seamless integration with other tools. It also addresses a gap in the market by providing container and serverless security capabilities. While Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is praised for its API-based integration and advanced data leak prevention, users say they want better integration, performance, and support.
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"Configuration monitoring and alerting is the most valuable feature; it happens at the cloud's speed, allowing our development team to respond quickly. If a configuration goes against our security best practices, we're alerted promptly and can act to resolve the issue. As cloud security staff, we're not staring at the cloud all the time, and we want to let the developers do their jobs so that our company is protected and work is proceeding within our security controls."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."
"What I like most about Prisma Cloud is its zero-day signatures, maximum security, minimal downtime, cloud visibility, control, and ease of deployment."
"I would say Twistlock is a fairly sophisticated tool."
"The solution's dashboard looks very user-friendly."
"The CVEs are valuable because we used to have a tool to scan CVEs, at the language level, for the dependencies that our developers had. What is good about Prisma Cloud is that the CVEs are not only from the software layer, but from all layers: the language, the base image, and you also have CVEs from the host. It covers the full base of security."
"Prisma Cloud is quite simple to use. The web GUI is powerful. Prisma Cloud scans the overall architecture of the AWS network to identify open ports and other vulnerabilities, then highlights them."
"A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email."
"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."
"There could be more automation features included for it."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."
"Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix."
"The deployment and onboarding are plug-and-play, but somewhat hard to handle in terms of integration with external operations tools. The product design isn't up to the current standard. I would recommend having higher standards in terms of integration with other tools, especially operationalized tools."
"The Palo Alto support needs to improve."
"Prisma Cloud lags behind in terms of security automation capabilities."
"The user interface should be improved and made easier."
"Areas like the deployment of their defenders and their central control need manual intervention. They should focus more on automation. They have a very generic case for small companies. However, for bigger companies to work, we have to do a lot of changes to our system to accommodate it. Therefore, they should change their system or deployment models so it can be easy to integrate into existing architectures."
"The UI is good, however, they could improve the experience."
"We would like to have the detections be more contemporaneous. For example, we've seen detections of an overprivileged user or whatever it might be in any of the hundreds of Prisma policies, where there are 50 minutes of latency between the event and the alert."
"One of the main backlogs in their development is in the area of integration. For example, we have ServiceNow in place for ticket management and Prisma Cloud is supposed to send closure emails for incidents. But from time to time, it fails to do so. We have several other mismatches between Prisma Cloud and ServiceNow."
