Check Point Harmony Browse vs. Cisco Cloud Web Security

Check Point Harmony Browse is particularly well suited for protecting against the various zero-day attack vectors, which is what it is designed to do. It offers very good protection against users visiting phishing sites, malware sites, downloading or opening ransomware, and just generally providing the safety net required in a corporate environment against users visiting potentially harmful websites.

Remote and telework but not for onsite filtering.

Incentivized

• Protection from phishing.
• protection from malware.
• protection from ransomware.
• General protection against zero-day attack vectors.

Incentivized

• Flexibility
• Scalable
• Ease of administration

Incentivized

• When inspecting traffic there can be a some performance degradation.
• We have had a few instances of protections interfering with legitimate traffic. Worth the trade-off though.

Incentivized

• Intuitiveness of the UI
• Real time reporting
• Report detail

Incentivized

We were already in the Check Point ecosystem and therefore did not look into alternatives like CrowdStrike or Kaspersky. Looking back, Check Point stacks up very nicely with the competitors on the market in terms of features, but I can't speak to actual real work performance having not used the others.

Incentivized

CWS is on par with Forcepoint cloud web security. It offers flexibility and scalability.

Incentivized

• Improved security posture overall with reduced risk.
• Relatively low cost and easy implementation easily recouped by allowing us to shift resources to other priorities and away from manual monitoring tasks.
• Peace of mind for our users knowing they have a safety net in place.

Incentivized

• Increased security
• Decrease in number of infections
