Check Point Harmony SASE Pros and Cons

I like the Harmony SASE Hybrid protection model that combines on-device and cloud-based security to deliver 10x faster internet access without compromising safety. Its zero-trust private access ensures secure and granular connectivity for users whether remote or on-site. It also provides us a unified cloud dashboard that simplifies management across the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about Checkpoint can be collaborated to its approach to security and access control. the seamless integration ZTNA with SWG and on top of that threat prevention into a single cloud driven platform. the continuous device checks and real time intelligence plus monitoring gives us the user and someone who is into solution selling a confidence that it's going to protect hybrid workplaces. the ease of use is for sure the USP once the system is fully configured and up & running.

I found Check Point Harmony SASE extremely effective at delivering secure access to both cloud and on-premise applications. The cloud-native approach meant that users connected through a unified platform without the overheads of traditional VPN infrastructure. I particularly liked the granular control available for identity-based policies and the ease of integrating with existing security ecosystems like Microsoft and Okta.

The policy setup process took longer than expected initially, mainly because there were so many options for defining access conditions. Although powerful, it needed careful planning and testing to avoid blocking legitimate business activities. Reporting and dashboarding were solid, but I would have liked even more real-time custom reporting without exporting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had troubles setting it up to work with our DNS. It was only working with IP addresses and not with the names (e.g., to RDP to a server you had to use the IP address; server name wasn't working). Most of the issue was with our infrastructure, not Check Point. Support helped us get it working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
