This improvement has led to a broader adoption of enterprise solutions, fostering extended partnerships and growing our user base. The increased market share and client adoption further highlight the substantial return on investment (ROI) derived from the strategic integration of Check Point Quantum SASE.

We use the solution for security.

The tool is easy to use and set up.

Harmony Connect has two components: one for accessing the internet and the other for accessing the corporate network. The Access intelligence lab is particularly useful because it eliminates the need to purchase a separate firewall for the branch office. Instead, you can connect the Check Point VPN, providing you with Check Point Harmony Connect firewall functionality for monitoring traffic.

The setup is easy, but it depends on the router configuration. The router configuration, in turn, will depend on the specific releases. The configuration could be improved.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Connect for two to three years.

The product is stable.

What are your impressions of the scalability of this solution?

The solution is scalable.

Since I trust the Check Point security, I trust Harmony Connect.

The initial setup is easy and may take a half hour to complete if you’ve experience.

I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The product has a reasonably high pricing.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Regarding use cases, I can say that the solution's user experience is very good. Also, the solution's UI is excellent. In general, we use it for SASE use cases, and to access VPN, ZTNA etcetera.

I am working on automation upstream for Harmony Connect Check Point. There are a bunch of integrations like RDP integrations and active directory integration. Also, its security policy management is seamless.

Automation and scalability are areas where the solution lacks and needs to improve.

I have been using Check Point Harmony ConnectCheck Point Harmony Connect for a year. My company has a partnership with Check Point. Also, I don't remember the version of the solution I am using.

The stability of the solution is not bad. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

There are a lot of hidden features, so I can't really give you a rating. We are working on it, so it is a work in progress.

The scalability of the tool is pretty good. However, we need to do some work on it to improve it. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six or seven out of ten.

In the next release of the solution, I would like to see more automation features.

The number of users using the solution depends and varies from client to client. It can scale from a small and simple number of 20 to 30 users to almost 10,000. It could be more than 10,000 users. However, it could be more from other partners.

Check Point provides high-quality technical support. The support was pretty quick. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

I have been out of Cisco domain for quite some time since I used it in my previous company. I am not using high-end Cisco technologies anymore. However, I may use it in the future.

I rate the setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is an easy setup. Also, it's hard to generalize since it depends on what we have to do.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The initial deployment was done using Check Point's UI for us, so it was five hours.

Regarding the steps for deployment, I would say that there is a deployment software that you have to onboard. Then, you have to do the initial registration, and once you do the initial registration, you'll have to integrate Azure. After Azure is integrated, you have to deploy the users for the applications.

Regarding pricing, I can say that the more the number of users, the less they have to pay.

I would tell others planning to use the solution that the solution has simplicity and good UX. Also, people will have to wait for future automation rollouts.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

In our company, Quantum SASE is available for namesake in our environment since we rely on Check Point Secure Web Gateway for its firewall functionalities. Most of our company's customers use firewalls from Check Point Software, Palo Alto, or Fortinet. The simple use case of the tool for our company's customers stems from the fact that they have a general internal network or many users for which a firewall is required to secure the network traffic flow and communications that happen from outside to inside the company.

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. There are no OEMs in the market that provide 100 percent security. The security of the product has to be improved.

I have been using Check Point Quantum SASE for seven years.

The product's stability is very good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

In firewall products, scalability is not required. If you set up the two firewall tools, no scalability is required. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My company deals with 20 or 30 customers of the tool.

My company's customers extensively use the product.

The support from Check Point Quantum SASE is very good, and the response from the support team is fast. The support from Check Point Quantum SASE is customer-friendly and knowledgeable about troubleshooting issues.

The product's initial setup phase is very simple.

The product's installation process consists of racking, stacking, and mounting, after which a user can directly start the appliance and configure the HA status and policies.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in two or three days.

One engineer is required to take care of one single deployment process.

The ROI of the tool can be calculated depending on the tool's ability to be used for multiple use cases and protect the confidential data of users. It is very simple to calculate the product's ROI. If you use Check Point Quantum SASE, then your internal users are protected from outside attackers.

Check Point Quantum SASE provides SASE functionalities with all the required features. Check Point Quantum SASE's price is higher than what its competitors offer. The price of the product is something that depends on the requirements, and the purchase or order value of the customers.

The price of the tool depends on whether customers need SMTP, NGTP, or Check Point NG licenses.

I consider the product to be a medium-priced solution. There are no additional costs attached to the tool.

The solution enhances the ability of our company's remote workforce to secure access to corporate resources since we use VPN to secure work-from-home users and domain users.

Check Point Quantum SASE offers all the features essential for threat prevention, threat emulation, threat extraction, anti-spam, and anti-malware.

In relation to Check Point Quantum SASE, I haven't worked with the part involving WAN architecture. I only handle cybersecurity for a portfolio with respect to the LAN segment, and not WAN segment.

I rate the tool's performance a ten out of ten.

Check Point Quantum SASE can be described as the world's best security product without a doubt since it is a market leader in its segment.

The performance and reliability offered by the tool depend on the customer environment, and after considering aspects like throughput, how many users, and how many concurrent connections, my company plans the sizing part of the tool.

The value of working with the tool is good, as it can secure users, environments, and applications.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The solution is predominantly used for Internet access when mobile. In the office, we have already deployed a Quantum Spark appliance, and this was focused on mobile users. 

We don't have on-premise applications or servers, so there is no use case for Remote access. However, we were keen to try it out from an evaluation perspective by bridging to the existing Check Point gateway at the site. 

Simplicity was needed, and importantly, we wanted something to not be too intrusive to mobile users. The interface has a few simple options, and it makes it easier.

We believe in defense in depth, and Harmony connect SASE adds another layer of protection for internet access. 

We have already deployed the entire Harmony suite, from Email & Collab protection to Harmony Endpoint. This adds a layer on top. Being a mobile user, securing Internet access was very important, and the product's pricing was simple enough and unlike other multiple add-ons on top of the base products from other vendors.

The reports give a simple overview of the traffic pattern within the organization. Though we don't use it to track user productivity, we can if necessary. There are reports specific to SaaS applications as well, which do come in handy.

The simplicity is good. It's good for consolidating security and being manageable from the Infinity portal with other Harmony solutions and makes management easy. We can use this instead of managing multiple-point solutions. It has a unified policy for private and internet access, making it easier to manage policies. 

The weekly reports have been informative as well. We are also keen on trying clientless access to provide restricted access to applications for third-party users.

Deployment was a breeze. We just key in the target users' email, and the rest is easy.

Branding could be better. Not many Check Point users realize there is a SASE offering at all. Policies could have layers as they do with their Firewalls, though I understand that's more of a functionality within the Smart dashboard. The threat prevention profiles like IPS, file, and URL protections could have more fine-tuning options.

Though all the policies are managed from the Infinity portal, we still have to manually configure different solutions. It would be nice to know how the new XDR option will bridge this gap.

Also, for Multi-factor authentication, there was an option for G-auth. However, I'm not sure about other forms of authentication they offer in their gateways. Bringing the backend closer to the gateway management would make it more granular.

I've been using Harmony Connect for more than three months now. 

We haven't had any glitches or issues with it at all. It's very transparent to the user.

It's very scalable and easy to deploy. It's scalable with users and it's scalable with the existing CP gateway deployments as well. There isn't much information on how it integrates with other end-point solutions. We had a full Check Point environment and it was clean.

We haven't run into any issues so far. We did need some assistance during the initial policy configuration, and the Check Point solutions team was there to assist.

Positive

We did not use any other SASE offering before. 

It's a simple setup; we just key in the end user's email address and it sends an invite to download the client. 

We implemented it in-house with the assistance of Check Point's solutions team.

The ROI is better than using a traditional VPN to connect back to the office gateway. We needed something that was light and transparent without the hassle of having to connect manually. We aren't planning to remove the gateway yet, however, in the long run, we will consider it, and that should negate the gateway costs.

Setup is a breeze. You key in the target user's email, and the rest is a click away. Pricing is competitive compared to the top players in the SASE market. 

Also, there is no concept of add-ons which makes it easier. 

Licensing with a minimum of 50 users could be a show-stopper for smaller organizations. However, a small company has probably got to do it with the infra in the backend to make it worthwhile.

Since we were keen on consolidating, we did not focus on multiple options.

The product seems to be transparent to the users. It lacks application segmentation options which some competitors offer.

I'm using the solution on my laptop and desktop in the office.

The product’s ability to block phishing sites is valuable. It protects me from malware.

The product is a bit heavy on the machine. Sometimes, the product is very slow. When we connect an external hard disk, it takes the product quite some time to go through the files and allow us to access them.

I have been using the solution for more than six months.

I rate the tool’s stability a seven out of ten.

The tool is quite scalable. We have around eight users.

We have had a couple of issues for which we contacted the technical support team. It takes long for the team to respond. It takes some time before the initial point of contact, but after that, it is fine.

Neutral

The deployment is quite easy and fast. I rate the ease of deployment an eight out of ten. The solution is deployed on the cloud. The deployment took us an hour.

The product is neither cheap nor expensive. However, it is a bit more on the expensive side. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.

People who want to use the solution must start with the minimal features possible and scale up slowly, depending on how it interacts with their system. Overall, I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

This tool is of great help and allows us to provide security assistance to our users who work remotely. They connect from any site, secure or insecure, accessing applications and business email without protection as they are outside the company perimeter.

It gives us granular security through web control policies, reports, and monitoring. We manage to avoid user vulnerabilities from anywhere. It is managed with Harmony Connect in the Check Point Infinity Portal, a very good tool.

Users are quite happy with the applied security performance.

Check Point Harmony Connect has improved the protection of computers outside the office. It offers implementation that is simple. 

Also, with the monitoring dashboard, we can make decisions to improve the control policies and web access so that we can better protect our teams.

This tool does not require being on the same network. Everything is verified thanks to a small Check Point protection agent that is installed on the client.

Protection against threats like ransomware is very effective.

We really liked the Check Point Harmony Connect tool and the monitoring, since we can make the right decisions thanks to the records observed in a simple way through the dashboard. The portal is really very intuitive.

The policies applied to users are quite granular, which helps a lot with the differential protection of users, generating managerial profiles and normal profiles efficiently.

We have also put VPNs into practice through harmony connect, having secure user connectivity. It is a very robust, modern, and secure tool.

They should include the ease of implementation or installation of the agent through an Excel list, where all the users can be loaded and added to be able to send the agent by mail.

I would also like it if they could include more documentation from the manufacturer to be able to implement it more efficiently and follow all the best practices.

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.

We have been using this tool for approximately two years now. It is an excellent security tool to protect telecommuting users.

This is an excellent cloud-managed Check Point tool; no server is required.

Problems are always solved, however, with modern security applications, specifically those that are in the Check Point Infinity Portal, it is a little more difficult to solve with support.

Neutral

We have not had a modern solution like this before. Check Point has innovated our processes.

It is important to associate you company with a partner who can work with prices and documentation in order to find the security application that best suits the company's requirements.

Before acquiring any company-level security tool, we undertake the task of investigating several solutions. In this case, Check Point was the best.

All Harmony solutions are excellent. I really recommend this option.
