We performed a comparison between Check Point Quantum SASE and Cisco Umbrella based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The solution is stable."
"Protection against threats like ransomware is very effective."
"Overall, the unified agent covers endpoints as well as prevents web browser attacks."
"The solution offers ATP features and management features."
"The Harmony Connect solution helped by unifying in a single portal all the necessary accesses for the company's internal employees, such as RDP, SSH, bank access databases, and even internal portals, bringing security and organization to the entire environment and facilitating employee access with a single, centralized login to the entire environment."
"It has centralized management that allows administrators to supervise and control the security of the entire network."
"The characteristics that I have liked the most are the ease of implementation and administration."
"The product’s ability to block phishing sites is valuable."
"It's improved the security of every single OS in the organization as well as the visibility and security capabilities."
"We are very new users of the solution and are still in the exploration stages, but we are happy with the product thus far."
"Stability-wise, it's good. I have never encountered any bugs."
"We use Cisco Umbrella for DNS filtering and as a secure gateway."
"Meraki features and cloud-based functionality are advanced and easy to manage centrally."
"The security and access control features."
"We immediately block impersonating users from accessing services over Cisco Umbrella-controlled devices."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard, visibility, and reporting capabilities. Our customers can see how much Umbrella is protecting their organization. If you don't know what you've got, you can't protect it. With Umbrella, you get the visibility and see the protection that it's providing. We can get PDF reports on a weekly basis of any malware activities and any denial of service or command-and-control-type activities."
"It has the ability to quickly block new threats."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"There is an issue when installing the Check Point client."
"In mobile devices, there is also sometimes a bit of tear when it is via LTE, however, that must be due to connectivity."
"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."
"They should work towards the WAN intergration."
"When it comes to firewall configuration, sometimes we encounter issues."
"Regarding the support, the schedules can be improved since they are generally in another geographical area, and it is difficult to solve the problems with the time differences between them and us."
"Sometimes downloading PDF files can be slow."
"The tool could be more user-friendly."
"It should have more integrations with multiple end user OEMs."
"I would like to see more integration between Cisco Umbrella and Cisco DNA Center."
"It would be useful if they had a malware protection engine running inside their own VM."
"The solution's technical support is not very good."
"The integration with other solutions is a little complex. If you want to integrate with something like ArcSight or LogRhythm or Splunk, you need to do a lot of configuration. There are no easy ways to implement it."
"The pricing could always be a little bit better."
"Security, overall, can always be improved."
"In the future, they should combine some of the Cisco AMP features that they already have, for anti-malware purposes."
