We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Connect and Netskope based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users appreciate the more comprehensive security features offered by Check Point Harmony Connect, including file emulation, USB control, and full disk encryption. Check Point Harmony Connect also has HTTPS decryption, SAML integration, and Zero Trust Network Access, as well as granular policies, monitoring, and weekly reports. Although Netskope has valuable features, such as cloud app authorization and classification, users have reported needing better integration with other solutions and improved support services. Check Point Harmony Connect's pricing and licensing are generally acceptable, with some flexibility depending on the user's location and situation.
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The solution is stable."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution provides high performance along with ATP prevention, policy management, remote activity, and IoT support."
"What I like about Harmony Connect is that every packet through the network is screened and filtered so that only clean packets can enter the PC. This is useful for a variety of security reasons because you no longer need to worry about things like DDoS attacks."
"It's improved the security of every single OS in the organization as well as the visibility and security capabilities."
"The characteristics that I have liked the most are the ease of implementation and administration."
"Our investment in quality hardware has proven to provide a better customer experience. They heavily rely on Check Point Firewall and Check Point SaaS Connect to safeguard their networks from external threats and attacks."
"The integration that this solution has with the different routers or perimeter equipment is exceptional."
"Protection against threats like ransomware is very effective."
"Now that we use Harmony Connect, the files are inspected and we are sure that no malicious content is inside the company."
"Netskope has a diverse portfolio range, which includes cloud access security brokers, content filtering, behavior analytics, and security management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the support is very good and the dashboards are easy and intuitive to use."
"I have found the most useful features to be the Web Secure Gateway, CASB, infrastructural service scanning, and Zero Trust."
"Netskope is an efficient, reliable, and easy-to-manage solution."
"The most valuable feature of Netskope is protection."
"Netskope is a really good product. I cannot segregate which features are the most valuable. We find most of the features to be valuable. It gives us what we are looking for."
"Technical support is good. They are very helpful and quick to resolve any issues we have."
"It is a very scalable tool."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"An improvement could be made in terms of achieving better coverage in such complicated regions as the Asia Pacific, China, and Russia."
"In mobile devices, there is also sometimes a bit of tear when it is via LTE, however, that must be due to connectivity."
"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 product needs to work on the integration of alerts with different SIEM or security solutions."
"Regarding the support, the schedules can be improved since they are generally in another geographical area, and it is difficult to solve the problems with the time differences between them and us."
"Harmony lacks this ability when anything more than a vanilla access policy is used (we use layers and source user objects in our policy which make this impossible according to Check Point)."
"When it comes to firewall configuration, sometimes we encounter issues."
"Support is one of the points of improvement."
"The configuration and user behaviour analytics can be improved."
"Lacking in local customer support."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"They could add endpoint security features."
"The solution is still pretty new to the CASB environment."
"Netskope CASB can improve by working more similarly to a VPN technology instead of a proxy. They then could have visibility on the endpoint device. Most clients have some tools where they check the endpoint health or other things, such as the security posture, or if they want to access the resources. For example, if they should have antivirus running, this kind of posture check should be available but it is missing."
"Compatibility with other proxy polars would be helpful."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
