User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Software Technologies I'd suggest that Perimeter81 is recommended when you want something that is easy to administrate, with little maintenance, unlike a VPN/secure network that you host and manage internally. We've had incidents when there has been downtime at Perimeter81, which has effectively locked us out of some of our secure services (anything locked down via IP). They have made improvements to their infrastructure and it seems to have improved in recent months, but this is something to keep in mind for critical connections Incentivized Will Emmerson Chief Information Officer Read full review	Open Systems AG Open Systems SASE+ keeps your organization's data safe, provides secure web access, is fast to deploy, well supported, and low cost.

Pros	Check Point Software Technologies Simple easy to read icon. You can hover over and see if you are logged in via the systems tray on your computer. Easy to switch between regions around the world. Incentivized John Ging Solutions Consultant Read full review	Open Systems AG Fast and reliable connections. Excellent DNS management for domain registrations. Quick implementation. Incentivized Sharon Khoo Tan Human Resources Director Read full review
Cons	Check Point Software Technologies Customer support was lacking before, now seems better. Had much difficulty using Chrome as my browser to install the app. Increase the throughput speeds at time would be nicer.

Alternatives Considered	Check Point Software Technologies 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. Incentivized John Ging Solutions Consultant Read full review	Open Systems AG Open Systems SASE is extremely fast, agile, efficient and is an excellent SD-WAN service that will give you secure access to the web. Incentivized Sharon Khoo Tan Human Resources Director Read full review
Return on Investment	Check Point Software Technologies I think it is just a cost of doing business. I don't think the cost is too prohibitive. We also use it as an example of what a small cost can provide big protection for your security. Incentivized John Ging Solutions Consultant Read full review	Open Systems AG It is scalable, its control portal is easy to use, it provides secure web access, it offers many business use cases or advanced features such as security, SD-WAN networking and DNS services, application performance management and much more.
