Comparison Results: Our users prefer Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks over Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Prisma Cloud offers extensive visibility, continuous cloud compliance monitoring, and seamless integration with other tools. It also addresses a gap in the market by providing container and serverless security capabilities. While Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is praised for its API-based integration and advanced data leak prevention, users say they want better integration, performance, and support.
"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
"As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"It is very intuitive. It is a point and click type of deal."
"I appreciate the ease of deployment and the intuitive dashboard. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily understand the dashboard and identify potential threats."
"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"It provides insights into potential vulnerabilities in our code, helping us identify and rectify issues before they can be exploited."
"It helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"Comprehensive and valuable for providing security. It is scalable, its stability is impressive, and setting it up is straightforward."
"The support is excellent."
"Palo Alto enables us to know what security threats are happening in the background."
"The application visibility is amazing. For example, sometimes we don't know what a particular custom port is for and what is running on it. The visibility enables us to identify applications, what the protocol is, and what service is behind it. Within Azure, it is doing a great job of providing visibility. We know exactly what is passing through our network. If there is an issue of any sort we are able to quickly detect it and fix the problem."
"Prisma scans things and shows all the vulnerabilities and packages that are vulnerable, and which layers, by default, have vulnerabilities. So developers can easily go into the package or a particular layer and make changes to their code. It's very transparent."
"I was looking for a vulnerability scanner and I was looking for one place in which I could find everything. This tool not only does vulnerability scanning, but it also gives me an asset management tool."
"We have used technical support, but their response time is very slow. It needs to be improved."
"Its guides are not great."
"From time to time, the system's administrators notice the increase in the false-positive alerts being reported by CloudGuard SaaS."
"I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"The challenge that Palo Alto and Prisma have is that, at times, the instructions in an event are a little bit dated and they're not usable. That doesn't apply to all the instructions, but there are times where, for example, the Microsoft or the Amazon side has made some changes and Palo Alto or Prisma was not aware of them. So as we try to remediate an alert in such a case, the instructions absolutely do not work. Then we open up a ticket and they'll reply, "Oh yeah, the API for so-and-so vendor changed and we'll have to work with them on that." That area could be done a little better."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"One thing that is missing is Cloud Run runtime security—serverless. That would be great to have in the tool. It's not that easy to have Cloud Run in specific environments."
"The user interface should be improved and made easier."
"They need to improve the API gateway."
"There are hundreds of built-in policies for AWS and Azure, but GCP and Oracle are not covered as much as AWS. There is a lot of work to do on that part. There is, obviously, a tiny bit of favoritism towards AWS because it has the most market share."
"The Palo Alto support needs to improve."
"Though Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks provides excellent security, is a pioneer in this space, and knows what it's doing, from a user perspective, it would have been better if it was a little easier to use."
