Featured Reviews

Sivakumar Murugavel - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced email threat protection with AI-driven features and geographical security
They have a sandboxing feature and are developing advanced threat protection technologies. Check Point Harmony also provides in-line API-based security, which is fast and reliable. Its API services should be available within our geography, India. This ensures that I can restrict emails from outside India, helping prevent geography-based phishing attacks. Additionally, Check Point is building AI capabilities for behavioral threat detection.
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.
