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.
"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."
"Machine Learning and AI for email security have helped all the organization's members to guard their information against insecure exposure."
"I like the fact that having granular information about the potential threats is received in email."
"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."
"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"Getting reports and finding threats in the console is easy."
"Check Point adds value with east-west protection in the data center."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility across all of our cloud solutions."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"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."
"Visibility is a key feature. Integration with other technologies across the board, whether they are Palo Alto technologies, Windows technologies, or cloud technologies, is probably the biggest thing."
"It supports the multi-cloud environment beautifully."
"The solution's dashboard looks very user-friendly."
"Syslog CLIs are the best feature."
"The product is quite good for providing multi-clouds or cross-cloud security from a single-pane -of-glass."
"I would like Check Point to extend its coverage to include more cloud applications."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email."
"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."
"The information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"Sometimes, when you assign subnets to regions, the IP address will jump from one location to another because it will automatically change substantially. Then, we need to add those IP subnets to our firewall for existing access. The need to update those subnets potentially causes maintenance or access issues. So far, we can only provide bigger customers with six subnets, and a small company may not be able to access those services."
"When there are updates, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, it needs configuration or permission adjustments. There is no automation for that, which is too bad."
"It can be too expensive for small companies."
"The access controls for our bank roles were not granular enough. We needed specific people to do particular actions, and we often had to give some people way too much access for them to be able to do what they needed in Prisma. They couldn't do their jobs if they didn't have that level of access, so other people had to do that part for them. It would help to have more granular role-based access controls."
"While the code security feature has undergone recent enhancements, there is room for improvement in terms of its cost module."
"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 user interface should be improved and made easier."
