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.

Great protection, good privacy, and helpful support

The only thing I would like is a way to open the email that is going to quarantine. Based on the level of security, they cannot open the email to check the message. Even for the administrator, you have to create a security copy to be sent, which will lock the log support. It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not. That is the only thing that I'm seeing could be improved. Basically, ESET doesn't have the ability to let the administrator release an email showing the message on the email. It's not possible. If you want to have an email review, you have to select an option to send a copy. In the way that they designed the system, for security, they are not letting anyone even have the admin privileges to make this happen. Privacy is at a really high level.

Advanced email protection has reduced fraud risks and simplifies compliance workflows

The primary area for improvement in Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the need for more integrations with XDR solutions. Currently, XDR integration exists with Symantec and CrowdStrike, but additional integrations are needed. I have found that the CrowdStrike integration, specifically the Falcon integration, has been experiencing issues recently. This represents another area requiring improvement. Integration capabilities are particularly important because companies are increasingly transitioning to their own SOC platforms or SIEM solutions to ensure complete environmental integration and security. MDR technology has emerged as a significant market offering, and Perception Point Advanced Email Security should develop integrations with additional solutions in this space. I am fully satisfied with the functionality of Perception Point Advanced Email Security because we have more than 200 customers using this product. We are retaining approximately 85 to 90 percent of our customers with this solution. All customers are satisfied, and we ourselves are satisfied with the product with no plans to change it. The only area for improvement is the integration capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"It is a stable solution."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."

More Cloudflare One pros

"It's a trustworthy solution that is easy to learn."

"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy."

"We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."

"By the end of the year, I gave the company some reports, and we didn't have any issues or malicious activities from any point of view, especially from email."

"The solution is used to block malicious items hidden inside a document or PDF file."

"Perception Point is really worth in terms of holistic protection without compromising the user experience."

"We can use it to perform detection and analysis of emails. For any malicious content found in emails, it gives in-depth analysis reports to end users. If you log into the console, you can see in-depth detection and how it happens."

"What's really good about this platform is that you have full visibility, it has a very nice and very friendly UI, it's quick, and there's no latency in the scanning."

"The solution’s effectiveness when it comes to detection is very good. It is stopping malicious emails and tagging emails noted as spam. So, we are able to disseminate those emails, get what we need, and block clearly malicious emails. It saves us a lot of valuable time. It keeps our users safe, e.g., the majority of emails that they would have gotten in the past don't even make it into their inbox."

"It pretty much gives us the perfect solution for our requirements."

"Perception Point Advanced Email Security was the only product that helped to stop spam and phishing emails in our organization and has helped to reduce the number of alerts received by our endpoint layer by 20%."

Cons

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

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

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"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."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."

"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined."

"They just don't do a good job of promoting themselves."

"Its websites for analysis need to be a bit more approachable for people who are less technical."

"There is room for improvement in terms of adding the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution, which would be a good option for Perception Point to look into."

"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."

"I think the interface could be improved in the next release."

"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."

"Email alerts should be available in real-time."

"I think the interface could be improved in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

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

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

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"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 solution provides affordable pricing for medium sized industries."

"The price of the solution is high."

"If a user only wants protection for email, then the price of the product is okay, but if they opt for the collaboration options offered by the product, then it becomes a little expensive."

"They are not the most expensive vendor. There are much more expensive vendors. They are not cheap, but they are not the most expensive. They are somewhere in the middle."

"Pricing is lower in comparison to Proofpoint."

"The pricing and licensing are very fair compared to competing companies in the same field."

"We were able to get reasonable pricing that matches the ROI we want, so I think that it is the correct price point."

"The pricing was fair in comparison with the other solutions. We have received good value for what we paid."

"We would always like it to be cheaper and save more money. However, we are getting the value from it."
