What do you like best about Check Point Harmony SASE?

I have liked most things about the product. Very intuitive for end users is probably the most important. Only one outtage in 2+ years, if I recall correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point Harmony SASE?

It is frustratingly difficult to get a 30 minute technical support session. I haven't bothered them for anything in 2+ years of having the product (and many thousands of dollars spent with them) and I'm forced to waste 4 hours my time on something which would take their technical support team 30 minutes. Obviously many SaaS companies try to do the same thing and make it difficult to get in-person help, but I guess the price they pay is people like myself leaving frustrated and sub-par reviews. It's a shame because I really like the product otherwise.

It probably would have helped to have a more in-depth implementation session when starting out, since there were some key settings which we only learned about after having the product for multiple years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Check Point Harmony SASE?

It's reliable and always helpful to work with. I haven't had many issues other than waiting for it to connect, but it mostly depends on your Internet connection. So far so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point Harmony SASE?

At first, I didn't like the fact I couldn't connect/disconnect whenever I wanted until I found out the option "Always-on VPN" existed in Settings. So, now that's off & I couldn't be happier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still trying to figure this one out as there are many out there who can do the same for less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point Harmony SASE?

As an MSP we require speedy assistance to ensure our customers stay ahead of issues. 4 months ago I tasked my partner team to reach out to P81 support and have our account downgraded to the basic tier we've been met with nothin short of a PATHETIC support.

Eventually I took over the situation thinking maybe my team might have been approaching things incorrectly, but to my utter amazement we really seem to be dealing with a platform which has a "I just don't care" attitude.

I have sent over 15 emails (excluding all the correspondnece others in my organisatin had sent), I have been escalated ti the highest key idividuals and yet even they don't respond.

Is this even a real company?

4 months on and we're no close to having this super easy task resolved - I can't believe it. Forget the time we've wasted on this issue, but also on top of this it's the unnessary overbilling for a product which we do not require - so far totalling $200 and counting.

DON'T SIGN UP WITH P81! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it doesn't connect quickly and you have to click connect a second time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
