We performed a comparison between Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
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.
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"It is the collaboration between users inside the company. It is a big advantage with Check Point to be able to work together on the same document."
"It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout."
"My favorite feature is the CWPP module. We can define various kinds of rules for vulnerabilities, incidents, or suspicious activities."
"The client wasn't using all of the features, but the one that stood out was infrastructure-as-code (IaC). I built IaC use cases and was trying to get them to use it. I also liked cloud workload protection. I worked with the vulnerability management team to develop a process. It's a manual process, so it can be challenging to remediate many image or container issues. It was nice that we could build out a reporting process and download the reports. The reports are solid."
"Configuration monitoring and alerting is the most valuable feature; it happens at the cloud's speed, allowing our development team to respond quickly. If a configuration goes against our security best practices, we're alerted promptly and can act to resolve the issue. As cloud security staff, we're not staring at the cloud all the time, and we want to let the developers do their jobs so that our company is protected and work is proceeding within our security controls."
"The dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature."
"It supports the multi-cloud environment beautifully."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"It provides good visibility and control regardless of the complexity."
"The initial setup is seamless."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"Check Point has to continue refining the intelligence engine to minimize the number of false positives."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website."
"I would like Check Point to extend its coverage to include more cloud applications."
"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."
"The left-hand feature can be made more granular for the implementation of the policy."
"The integration of the Compute function into the cloud monitoring function—because those are two different tools that are being combined together—could use some more work. It still feels a little bit disjointed."
"The feedback that we have given to the Palo Alto team is that the UI can be improved. When you press the "back" button on your browser from the Investigate tab, the query that you're working on just disappears. It won't keep the query on the "back" button."
"Currently, custom reports are available, but I feel that those reports are targeting just the L1 or L2 engineers because they are very verbose. So, for every alert, there is a proper description, but as a security posture management portal, Prisma Cloud should give me a dashboard that I can present to my stakeholders, such as CSO, CRO, or CTO. It should be at a little bit higher level. They should definitely put effort into reporting because the reporting does not reflect the requirements of a dashboard for your stakeholders. There are a couple of things that are present on the portal, but we don't have the option to customize dashboards or widgets. There are a limited set of widgets, and those widgets don't add value from the perspective of a security team or any professional who is above L1 or L2 level. Because of this, the reach of Prisma Cloud in an organization or the access to Prisma Cloud will be limited only to L1 and L2 engineers. This is something that their development team should look into."
"It would be ideal if they could somehow reduce the deployment time."
"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."
"Prisma Cloud lags behind in terms of security automation capabilities."
"In terms of improvement, there are some small things like hardening and making sure the Linux resources are deployed well but that's more at an operational level."
"The automation capabilities are growing each day, but the problem is that the updates are not that frequent. There are some services on Amazon that have come out with updates, and Azure is also getting up to date. But Prisma takes some time to follow. There's a time gap that Prisma inherits from these clouds. I understand why it takes some time, but that time should be reduced."
