Parallels® Browser Isolation provides a secure way to access web applications, including Software as a Service (SaaS) and other cloud-based applications, from a web browser.

Check Point Software Technologies
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.

Cons
Check Point Software Technologies
  • 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.

Usability
Check Point Software Technologies
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.

Return on Investment
Check Point Software Technologies
  • 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.
