We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and Symantec Cloud Workload Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"The UI is very good."
"PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"PingSafe offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"The solution has a very effective anti-phishing algorithm that detects a significantly higher number of phishing emails compared to the default Microsoft solution."
"The solution helps to block spam emails."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."
"We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual."
"Based on domain and URL reputation, it will allow traffic to flow."
"The most valuable features in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection are endpoint protection and active directory features. The active directory features in the product are very good, and in terms of security, the most valuable feature in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is threat defense or threat protection."
"It will read various logs, diagnose what is wrong, and then alert you."
"PingSafe is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see PingSafe develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."
"PingSafe's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"There could be more automation features included for it."
"From time to time, the system's administrators notice the increase in the false-positive alerts being reported by CloudGuard SaaS."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"We still get some false positives. There are times when legitimate stuff gets flagged and it could be that somebody is expecting a very important email but they don't end up getting it. On the flip side, when we alert Check Point about stuff like this, it is corrected, so they are improving. That's a plus."
"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."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"We have used technical support, but their response time is very slow. It needs to be improved."
"One area for improvement in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is integration. Other features that could be improved are defense control and encryption, particularly in the USB. For example, users should be able to control the USB and have the capability of blocking and allowing USB reading and writing. Having a USB encryption feature in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection would also be very useful."
"In the future, we may need to use features that are only available in one of the competing products."
