Secure access with an intuitive design and straightforward controls
In terms of improvement, Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity. Additionally, expanding integration options with a broader range of third-party tools would be beneficial for seamless compatibility with various existing systems. As for additional features in the next release, it would be great to see advanced threat detection and response capabilities integrated into the platform. This would further enhance security by proactively identifying and mitigating potential threats. Additionally, improved mobile device management features and more comprehensive user behavior analytics would be valuable additions to meet evolving cybersecurity needs.
CS
Makes it convenient to work from home, supports everything I need, and is easy to use
When everybody is trying to log in and work sometimes there is a little latency but not a whole lot. This latency also depends on the type of server you have, how may users are logging in and users' home connection (WIFI or Ethernet). If the weather is bad, sometimes, you can get disconnected. I log in every day and I don't usually have any issues unless it is really storming out and then it can be latent. When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The monitoring and granular policies are very helpful."
"Logging back into Perimeter 81 is relatively user-friendly as I just need to re-type my Windows credentials in to access the VPN."
"The solution offers ATP features and management features."
"It has centralized management that allows administrators to supervise and control the security of the entire network."
"The installation is very easy."
"The ease of use not only translates to quick adoption rates - it also ensures that our employees remain compliant with our cybersecurity protocols, enhancing the overall security posture of our organization."
"One of the most valuable features found using Harmony is being able to monitor in a simple and orderly way."
"The integration that this solution has with the different routers or perimeter equipment is exceptional."
"It is easy and simple, and it has got an easy interface. It is not hard to learn. With just three clicks, you log in, and you're there."
"Virtual desktops and virtual apps are most valuable."
 

Cons

"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"I have found that the log-in/out process takes quite some time."
"There is an issue when installing the Check Point client."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment."
"The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application."
"They could improve on the available public documentation."
"When it comes to Check Point Quantum SASE, though the OEM provides security, it is not 100 percent full-fledged to meet the requirements from the customers' end."
"INGPU for engineering software is an area of improvement."
"When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annual licenses cost $30 to $40 each."
"Perimeter 81 charges separately for gateways and VPN connectivity, but compared to Azure, it seemed more reasonable."
"Regarding pricing, I can say that the more the number of users, the less they have to pay."
"The product's pricing model accommodates diverse needs and deployment sizes."
"The pricing is good, especially when you compare it to other firewall or UTM solutions from FortiGate or SonicWall, where you would have to invest about four hundred thousand rupees for 100 users over a three-year period."
"I would rate Harmony Connect's pricing at six out of ten. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either."
"Overall I am very happy with the solution’s flexibility and pricing."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. They should provide better licensing options."
