User Testimonials
	Check Point Harmony SASE	Proofpoint Web Security
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	Proofpoint I think [Proofpoint Meta (formerly Meta Networks)] is a pretty robust VPN solution that would be good for most [organizations].

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	Proofpoint Stable VPN - 99.999 uptime Fast connection - have POP all around the world Enhanced security - flexible user policy.

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. Incentivized John Ging Solutions Consultant Read full review	Proofpoint Faster SSL vpn would be nice. Incentivized JK Jack Kotev It sec Read full review
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	Proofpoint Meta was agile and gave us the product we were looking for. the other vendors were lacking a lot of features or had a difficult deployment. Incentivized JK Jack Kotev It sec 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	Proofpoint Positive - it let the company WFH in a pretty decent manner so no [work] hours were lost.
