We have found that when thoughtfully implemented, Check Point Harmony SASE can be well suited for almost any customer. Smaller customers may not need all the functions of SASE, but they all need a reliable VPN solution when traveling. The platform can be configured for individual tenants, allowing the solution to scale with the client as they grow. As the customer grows, they are already familiar with the agent, so scaling up has less user pushback.
It is not necessary for a call center to use a secure network, but network admins need HPA. The reasoning behind this is that securing private access is so important.
Harmony SASE can use some improvement in reporting. While general reports are available in the dashboard, it lacks additional details and flexibility to capture insights on user adoption, bandwidth utilization, etc.
The app lacks visibility into failures, errors, and network diagnostics, which would allow IT and network professionals to conduct their own investigation and troubleshooting. While their support has a good grasp of this, having these capabilities will allow organizations to take action on their own rather than waiting for support during issues and outages.
Expanding the platform's global presence, like adding gateways in different countries, is not a use case for us right now. They have a presence in most geographic locations we need, but I can imagine bigger companies needing other locations.
Overall, the product is easy to use, reliable, and can be automated to minimize user input. Occasionally, an agent update will clear the workspace and sign the user out. When this occurs, a member of our helpdesk team is needed to assist the user in signing back in. This is our biggest reason for giving it a 9 out of 10.
In the beginning, it was a bit rough getting it to work and getting any kind of quality support from customer service. But recently they really improved their service and customer service. I believe they raise 100M in new funding which provides them the resources to make a better product with better tools and a better help desk.
Features and ease of implementation. Unlike other options, Hyper Private Access offers comprehensive protection for sensitive data while being user-friendly, which was a crucial factor in our decision-making process. It stands out due to its scalability and flexibility when comparing Hyper Private Access to alternative solutions. Unlike competing products, Hyper Private Access adapts seamlessly to the evolving needs of our business, allowing for effortless expansion and customization as our requirements change over time. Hyper Private Access outperforms its counterparts by providing unparalleled reliability and uptime. While evaluating various options, we found that Hyper Private Access consistently delivers uninterrupted access to critical resources, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operations, which was a crucial factor in our selection process.
One of the biggest benefits of switching to Check Point Harmony SASE was the pricing model. Our previous VPN solution is usage-based and billed on the amount of network traffic, while Harmony SASE has a per-user license.
We also benefited from simplified network architecture. Check Point Harmony SASE takes care of everything; we just need to select a location. Previously, we had to design and architect our VPN infrastructure, a task that required technical expertise.
Our organization leverages Harmony SASE's VPN solution allows us to meet our client-specific requirements. It enables remote work and removes the requirement for a physical office.
Positive impact: With the implementation of Hyper Private Access, the financial performance of our business has significantly improved. Enhancing access to sensitive resources and information has improved our performance, increasing ROI and greater productivity.
Negative impact: Hyper Private Access appears to have had no adverse effect on our overall business objectives. However, the results obtained through ROI measurements indicate that this technology cannot achieve significant results and has created less productivity.
Positive impact: Hyper Private Access has directly contributed to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our business operations. By enhancing the security of sensitive data and improving access to it, we have successfully reduced risks and increased the speed of strategic decision-making, directly leading to improved financial performance and overall ROI of our business.
