Sentiment score
7.8
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration enhances security and efficiency, reduces cyber threats, and improves ROI, valued by subscribers.</p>
Sentiment score
7.4
Prisma Cloud improves security by automating compliance, reducing alerts, and increasing efficiency, despite high costs and initial challenges.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
The return on value is in the securing of the applications that we are deploying, as well as through a better understanding of the types of issues in the type of environment.
Before, we had a few staff members who monitored our environment, but now the alerting and other processes happen automatically, so there is a good ROI in terms of resources.
It eliminates the need for additional hardware, making it a financially and technically sound investment.
 

Customer Service

SentinelOne's Cloud Security support is praised for expertise and reliability, despite occasional slow responses and varied agent quality.
Sentiment score
7.0
Users generally praise Check Point Harmony's support for reliability and professionalism, though some report slower response times.
Sentiment score
7.1
Prisma Cloud's support is responsive and knowledgeable, though some users face delays and communication issues, varying by region.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
Customer support is of high quality.
Support issues exist with the Check Point company itself, not necessarily the product.
Whenever I have issues with the solution, I will get an immediate response from the product team and they will try to close the issue as soon as possible.
When you send them a message, you get a response in a minute or two.
They can respond with technical documentation or pass on the case to the next level because it requires the development of a new feature or changing a feature due to a bug.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly scalable and flexible, efficiently managing environments without server concerns, rated highly by users.
Sentiment score
8.2
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration offers seamless scalability and adaptability, efficiently supporting varying user volumes for diverse business needs.</p>
Sentiment score
7.8
Prisma Cloud offers scalable management across multi-cloud environments, excelling in integration and enterprise growth, despite some functionality challenges.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
I would rate the scalability of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration as nine out of ten, indicating high scalability.
It's very scalable and very easy to use.
You can use it to onboard any cloud account no matter how many resources are in it.
It's the type of tool that is constantly improving, and its scalability suits our environment well.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is reliable with high ratings, minor issues, and effective AWS interoperability, outperforming previous solutions.
Sentiment score
8.1
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration is praised for its stable, reliable, and effective email security, crucial for corporate use.</p>
Sentiment score
8.0
Prisma Cloud is stable and reliable, with high ratings for scalability and minimal impact from occasional glitches or disruptions.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
I cannot recall any downtime with the solution.
I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.
I haven't seen any outages with Prisma Cloud.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne needs better search, cost management, enhanced firewall, improved logging, third-party integration, and legacy system compatibility.
<p>Users seek improved project management, integration, support, cost, and performance in Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration.</p>
Prisma Cloud needs improvements in UI complexity, pricing, customization, integration, identity management, and support for more cloud environments.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda - like more advanced threat management.
Currently, it requires programming knowledge, so if someone without hardware programming knowledge could customize certain features to their requirements, it would be very helpful.
It is a SaaS solution, but some of my clients have a local regulatory requirement, and they want to install it locally on their premises.
From a developer's perspective, especially for organizations like banks developing their applications, ensuring API security before deploying them to the cloud is crucial.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers flexible pricing, perceived affordable for enterprises but potentially costly for smaller businesses.
Check Point Harmony offers flexible, negotiable per-user pricing with discounts, providing excellent value for comprehensive email security.
Prisma Cloud offers flexible licensing, valued for its features and consolidation, with costs based on consumption and workloads.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
I consider the pricing to be a bit expensive, similar to other solutions.
The pricing is lower compared to what I used before.
The pricing is reasonable, rated five out of ten for affordability.
There are no additional costs beyond the standard fees.
A strategy to optimize costs will save you money.
The licensing model for data security should be compared to the native security offered by AWS and Azure.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security enhances efficiency with real-time threat detection, AI-driven responses, and seamless third-party integration for organizations.
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration ensures security with AI-driven threat detection, Office 365 integration, and user-friendly deployment.</p>
Prisma Cloud enhances security with multi-cloud integration, automated forensics, CI/CD integration, and comprehensive visibility across hybrid environments.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.
The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does.
Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers online support and has tight integration with Microsoft.
The protection and scanning of emails are also appreciated, as they secure everything in the email spectrum.
Prisma Cloud is a single tool that protects cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile disparate security and compliance reports.
Prisma offers visibility to developers and high-level leadership because the dashboard is excellent and the alerts are comprehensive.
This alerting system allows me to take the necessary steps to secure it before any attack can occur, making it the best preventive measure for our cloud.

Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Rahul Kamble. - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers complete detection and simple management and is a user-friendly solution
It's very effective as a solution to prevent mobile app threats. It has a mobile MDX, mobile detection, and response session. As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience. Compared to competitors like Fortinet, Trend Micro, Palo Alto, and Cisco, Check Point provides a superior solution according to both the MITRE and Gartner frameworks. For example, in a recent attack simulation, Check Point only allowed ten malicious emails through, while Fortinet allowed 1500 and Cisco allowed 1800. Check Point's email attack ratio is nearly 0.10%, while others range from 1% to 3%. This demonstrates Check Point's superior email filtering capabilities. Check Point's email cleaning ratio is 99.9%, significantly higher than the 98%, 95%, or 93% of its competitors. Moreover, Check Point Harmony Email incorporates AI technology within its security features. Harmony Email & Collaboration (HEC) provides full protection and addresses zero-day files. It's the best solution available, as others don't offer protection against zero-day attacks and rely on signature-based solutions. HEC is truly the best option.
VISHWJEET GAIKWAD - PeerSpot reviewer
Works very well for multi-cloud environments and is more cost-effective than cloud-native tools
Some of the clients onboard individual cloud accounts into Prisma Cloud. When any new service comes into the AWS, Azure, or any other cloud, Prisma Cloud generates a warning about the new service and any missing permissions to be able to ingest the logs. We then manually run a Terraform template for Azure or a CFT template for AWS. It is a manual task that we have to do as and when needed. It is a repetitive and manual task. They should find a way to automatically update the role with the CFT or Terraform template. It would be best if this task is automated. When an account is onboarded, if it is missing any permission, it should automatically be updated with the required permissions and policies. If they can do something from the AI security perspective, it will be helpful. I am not sure if it has any AI capabilities, but it would be helpful to have AI integration for finding out issues and remediating alerts.
