Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on.""Sometimes downloading PDF files can be slow.""While the product has been instrumental in enhancing security, continuous improvement is essential. Feedback from users and ongoing technological advancements should guide the refinement of these security measures.""The solution requires you to buy a minimum of 50 licenses and that is not practical.""The main problem with Harmony Connect is that, because it's in a new category of offerings by Check Point, there's very little marketing of the product so far, and this means that many potential users don't even know this kind of solution is available. There are also few testimonials or case studies talking about people who have used the product and fell in love with it, for example.""There is an issue when installing the Check Point client.""An improvement could be made in terms of achieving better coverage in such complicated regions as the Asia Pacific, China, and Russia.""In order to be able to invite users, send the agent and implement it, the user input must be generated manually."

More Harmony SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) Cons →

"Lacks multiple cloud integration.""SonicWall Mobile Connect’s marketing efforts are commendable; they may not be perceived as the most secure player compared to Fortinet or Meraki. SonicWall Mobile Connect should focus on positioning itself as a strong contender in the mid-market segment to improve its standing. Many high-end engineers dismiss it in favor of Fortinet or Meraki, often due to a lack of firsthand experience.""Technical support can always get better. Any time you have to call in for any certain thing, it can be difficult.""Licensing includes things that my customers don't need."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."
  • More Netgate TNSR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Overall I am very happy with the solution’s flexibility and pricing."
  • "The pricing is good, especially when you compare it to other firewall or UTM solutions from FortiGate or SonicWall, where you would have to invest about four hundred thousand rupees for 100 users over a three-year period."
  • "Annual licenses cost $30 to $40 each."
  • "I would rate Harmony Connect's pricing at six out of ten. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either."
  • "The cost of the solution's licenses depends on the particular use cases."
  • "The solution is priced appropriately considering its uses. For an essential license, a user pays only 30 USD per month. For an enterprise version, the prices can be negotiated with the company."
  • "Regarding pricing, I can say that the more the number of users, the less they have to pay."
  • "Perimeter 81 charges separately for gateways and VPN connectivity, but compared to Azure, it seemed more reasonable."
