We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration 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."Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent."
"As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"Check Point adds value with east-west protection in the data center."
"For Threat Prevention, I was impressed with this feature and the solution's effectiveness. It has been very good."
"It is fast and has a very simple, easy integration."
"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."
"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"Cloud Guard would be a complete solution if Check Point added a comprehensive data loss solution that included capabilities such as bulk data transfer detection."
"They must provide security to more email service providers."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."
"The NAVEX metrics that I have been using on the CloudGuard dashboard cannot be exported. If they were to add report exporting capabilities on each of metric objects on the dashboard, that would be awesome."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."
