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.
"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"Prisma Cloud helped us with compliance. Most of my deployments have been greenfield, so I don't have a benchmark to compare how the security posture has improved. I've always used this from day zero of the configuration. However, I can say that the compliance checks for PCI, DSS, HIPAA, etc., made my life simpler. I don't need to look at each of these standards and compare the rules I have in place."
"Prisma Cloud also provides the visibility and control you need, regardless of how complex or distributed your cloud environments become. It helps to simplify that complexity. Now we know what the best practices are, and if something is missing we know."
"We were pleased with Prisma's custom and built-in reports. We could go into the dashboard and see all these notifications telling us which subscriptions didn't have TLS 1.2 enabled. The security controls were the most valuable features."
"CSPM is the most valuable feature for any organization that runs its workloads in the cloud."
"The CSPM and CWPP functionalities are pretty good."
"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."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility across all of our cloud solutions."
"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."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"They must provide security to more email service providers."
"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."
"We'd like to have more native integration with clouds and additional security checks in the future."
"In terms of securing cloud-native development at build time, a lot of improvement is needed. Currently, it's more a runtime solution than a build-time solution. For runtime, I would rate it at seven out of 10, but for build-time there is a lot of work to be done."
"The solution does not currently support servers for GCP."
"I have some challenges customizing and personalizing some of the capabilities in the CSPM in terms of new policies and services. We have to reconfigure and rebuild the CSPM."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"The UI is the worst."
"One of the main backlogs in their development is in the area of integration. For example, we have ServiceNow in place for ticket management and Prisma Cloud is supposed to send closure emails for incidents. But from time to time, it fails to do so. We have several other mismatches between Prisma Cloud and ServiceNow."
"While the code security feature has undergone recent enhancements, there is room for improvement in terms of its cost module."
