  ### 5. far better than VPN

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their 
name, job title, or picture.


**Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user.

**Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account

**Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate.

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

I work overseas remotely in a corporate network or using AWS Virtual Machines, so connection stability is vital to me. When the company I work for switched to Perimeter81, I was surprised there has been no degradation of connection speed and quality as it was with usual VPN. I can work from anywhere: from my apartment in the city with fiber optic connectivity, from my summer house in the countryside via mobile network or from any cafe, beach bar, etc. The connection is safe and I never noticed a lag.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Sometimes, when I'm trying to create a route to a local destination using a Google Maps site, the city of Dallas is determined as my location, and I'm thousands of miles away :-). I can temporarily switch Perimeter81 off, but all the RDP windows I use for work are closed.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously, when I was doing a demo presenting to my conference call audience how my code works in an AWS VM, I was always worried about how the connection would be affected. Now, with Perimeter81, I simply do my presentation without any second thought if it's from my local laptop or I use a remote host.

  ### 6. Works as expected and sometimes even better!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

name, job title, or picture.

**Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account

**Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate.

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

The ease of use that the tool offers. Whenever my laptop starts up, Permiter 81's tool pops up, and all I have to do is click connect, and I can connect to my company's VPN.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Sometimes, the VPN may cause slow-down on zoom calls oR periodically randomly reset the connection, but these are few. Overall, still a great tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Check Point SASE:**

I wasn't a part of the initial set-up for our company's infra team setting up Perimeter 81. However, I heard there was much collaboration and support, which allowed both Loopio's and Perimeter 81's teams to hit deadlines when setting up the VPN.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem we are trying to solve with this tool is to allow safe and secure access to work apps and devices. The tool allows the company to ensure we follow any security compliance we may have set; it also lets us know we are on a safe and encrypted network while working from home.

  ### 7. It just works

I like the private network feature and that It just stay connected, it doesn't disconnect abruptly.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

I would like to get a reminder of the countdown of the connection time set by my admin.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me to test my work that aren't available in my current location.

  ### 8. Best Enterprise VPN

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

At G2, we prefer fresh reviews and we like to follow up with reviewers. They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

One of the best Enterprise VPN available in the market. The best part is tech support. Literally, in minutes they reply and solve your queries on the same day or within the same hour too. If you are running an enterprise company or startup, I would definitely recommend Perimeter81 VPN.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Sometimes there are connection issues. Also, I feel there are certain places where I am not even able to open the app (Probably it has to do with the firewall but I never had any similar issues with other VPNs )

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It gives secure connection to our common servers and all the members are securely connected via that IP. Also, using Perimeter81 makes a big difference in latency as everyone is connected to common IP.

  ### 9. The best connection tool I have used (out of many!)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their

**Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user.

**Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn

**Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate.

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2021

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

Easy to use, yet gives good security. As a consultant I use many different connection tools, and Perimeter 81 is by far the best. It gives the client I am working for security and is not too stressful for me to use (some other methods are). Two factor authentication via my phone is used, but not an excessive amount. Perimeter 81 then stays connected until I disconnect, which is not always my experience with other similar tools. My username and password are also saved on my pc, saving me additional typing. It feels easy, stress free to use, and yet very secure for the connection. Great user experience, can't recommend highly enough, and I'm using about 20 different similar tools at the moment.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Nothing, it seems to function really well

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Remote log on to 2 different systems for different customers of mine. It cuts stress in my work life and makes things speedier and easier

Simple and secure options to access internal services and protect users' browsing wherever they are.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Sometimes some features are missing, which you do have with a FW. Although I think this will improve soon.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is no longer necessary to use VPN and domain users to access internal services. In addition, it is possible to define the access permissions for each user and only when they need them. And all audited.

  ### 11. It is very stable.

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2022

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

It is software that gives us enterprise-level security for our branches as a SAAS. We have always updated and scalable system used. We have tested it for one of our customers (our local bank) and it was pretty easy to configure with standard reliability that we are used to get from Check Point products.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Maybe price as always ;0)) We didn't notice any significant deficiency. It was fun for us that notices on our pcs were in German, because we have used Frankfurt as our gw. We didn't noticed any latency during using of Harmony Connect.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have tried to solve security access of the branch offices. Crucial benefits are: reliable updated system with easy onboarding procedure for new users and offices.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

I haven't had any negative experiences with the product so far.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All remote workers on my current project are required to use a VPN. My company started me out with a different product, but after over a week of issues, including severe lag and issues with my remote software, our IT dept switched me over to Perimeter 81. It solved all of my problems, and I couldn't be happier. I now recommend to all of my coworkers to ask to be set up with Perimeter 81 from the start.

  ### 14. I find it very easy to implement and deploy in the organization.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

I have worked with Check Point Harmony Connect, it is a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, which unifies multiple cloud-delivered network security products to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks, and simplify policy management. I find it very easy to implement and deploy in the organization. One point to highlight is that it is a user-centric solution.

Zero Trust Network Access can be a security breach if not used properly. I have implemented it and it turns out that access to the organization's applications must be complemented with user awareness.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Designed to prevent the most evasive cyberattacks Zero Trust Network Access to Enterprise Applications Secure Internet access for remote users Protects branch office (SD-WAN) connections to the Internet and the cloud

  ### 15. Top-notch Offering for Private Access to Cloud Resources

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeff L. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account

**Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate.

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

Perimeter81 is a great tool for developers to privately access public cloud resources. Many of my clients have multiple environments established in AWS. Perimeter81 simplifies network connectivity to the different environments. Connecting new VPCs is as simple as setting up site-to-site VPN to the Perimeter81 gateway.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

The current version of the Perimeter81 client disables IPv6 on Windows. While this can be worked around using wireguard or native Windows IPsec/PTP client, it is something that I'd like to see fixed in a future update.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Providing remote users with private access to cloud resources can be complex and expensive, particularly with legacy VPN technologies. Perimeter81 is cloud-based and inexpensive so I found it to be a superior solution to accessing cloud resources.

  ### 16. Good experience with Perimeter 81 as our company's VPN solution.

Easy Login with Google auth. Fast "connect" and "disconnect". Seems good on the security levels, as we didn't face any issues with that when we were logged in, using this VPN.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Sometimes made my internet connection somewhat slower. Few times it took minutes to connect. And sometimes I needed to close the app from my windows task manager, to be able to log in again.

**Recommendations to others considering Check Point SASE:**

Easy to configure and handle. Feel very secure. Fast response support team. Good for streaming.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the necessity of a hybrid working environment. Empowering us with another level of cloud security. Realized the benefits of easily adding company users to the VPN.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

Livechat was available as soon as I needed it, agents were very friendly and efficient. I eventually sorted the issue out myself but this is due to the problem I was experiencing not actually being directly an issue with the Perimeter app and rather with browser cookie settings.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Nothing, it was easy to access and helpful. I did get cut off at one point but the follow-up emails were quick and helped me to rectify the issue eventually. Agents were all quick to reply and the ability to send screenshots directly through the live chat function helped them assist me quickly.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm able to seamlessly connect to my business's network and access whatever I need. I also feel safer navigating on public wifi as it's adding a layer of security on top

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

Cloud Guard or Harmony Connect is a SAAS offering from CheckPoint. It protects secure access using multiple security solutions from CheckPoint, providing numerous security solutions such as NGFW, Web Gateway, ZTNA, Email/Browser Protection, DLP, Threat Prevention, and DNS Security. A single agent is installed on the endpoint, or users can connect via a browser to access these services. CheckPoint has integration with CDN and SD-WAN, so traffic is routed without adding latency. Access to services is provided via a secure tunnel. ZTNA controls network access and is also used for connecting data centers and clouds for remote users. The policy is created based on the application, and access is defined for each user or security group. Web-based access is controlled using a cloud proxy solution provided by CheckPoint. A broker server is installed in the cloud and on-premises to provide access to remote users using ZTNA. NGFW allows or blocks depending on requirements. Browser protection protects by scanning and cleaning any file downloaded on the endpoint.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

Access to the data center and cloud via ZTNA adds latency as all traffic is routed to Cloud Guard. Policy validation is done on the cloud, and access is provided accordingly. There is an issue with hairpinning of network traffic for users who want to access the data center and are connected from a remote office. User-based licensing.

**Recommendations to others considering Check Point SASE:**

Licenses are not cheap, so it is necessary to decide what services are required for all users and then make a decision accordingly if you want to use an individual feature or a complete solution, as there are players who have a better product such as Proxy or ZTNA.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Centralized management for all security solutions. We are performing a POC to check additional benefits with the solution as it provides multiple services for protecting network traffic.

  ### 42. Perimeter 81 provides us with the network security we need within our company

**Reviewed Date:** July 07, 2020

At G2, we prefer fresh reviews and we like to follow up with reviewers. They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

We're using it at our company and besides giving us great network protection. We find the setup very straightforward as you don't have much to configure when you're being part of an organization. Everything is already configured for you! This is especially useful when you wish to onboard new employees remotely and ask them to install this VPN. Also, the latest version of Perimeter 81 has an improved UI that provides more useful information to the user.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

We find Perimeter 81 a little bit slow on MacAir Book machines (even on the 2019 models). It's using a lot of resources and this leads to disconnection and performance issues. If your machine has only 4 cores, you might need to consider using an 8 cores machine instead to run the software. I had to switch to a MacBook Pro to solve this issue.

**Recommendations to others considering Check Point SASE:**

If you are using a Mac, I would highly recommend you to have at least 8 cores as the software is using a lot of resources. But overall, I find Perimeter 81 very easy to install, set up, and use. It works with a workspace URL and you can also use your Google account for secure authentication.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

During the covid-19 crisis, one of the web portals we're often using doesn't work because we are all working remotely (our IPs aren't whitelisted). However, a manager gave us Perimeter 81 to install and the setup was so easy, Once connected, we were all able to access that web portal securely.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

Perimeter 81's support team has been accommodating in the setup process, making the initial setup of our cloud VPN very easy and seamless. They have continued to provide support for the few questions or issues that have come up over time. The software itself was very user-friendly and provided our user base a straightforward install-to-use workflow. It has also maintained a very high update with little to no service issues that impacted us. The administrator options also provide a highly effective way to limit user options which makes room for error much less, creating a better overall experience.

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

We have occasionally encountered bugs related to SSO on the desktop app and connection issues. While this has always been resolved by contacting support in a timely manner it has caused some problems.

**Recommendations to others considering Check Point SASE:**

If you are looking for an easy setup and use cloud VPN service, Perimeter 81 is a great choice.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the recent pandemic starting, our on-prem hosted VPN solution became overwhelmed very quickly with all of our employees switching to remote work. Perimeter 81 provided a quick and easy solution to split the load between VPNs and provide our company with a reliable backup if needed.

It is a Cloud service that lightens management and maintenance activities, making the end user independent from expensive hardware solutions or complex software solutions.

I believe that password management and synchronization with IdPs can be improved, it would also be necessary to make it possible to create granular access rules.

Once you try it, you will never be able to go back to legacy VPN solutions.

At G2, we prefer fresh reviews and we like to follow up with reviewers. They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review.

**What do you like best about Check Point SASE?**

The Support around the product. From the very beginning, our account manager and the technical contact person looked after us very well. Problems were quickly addressed and also quickly resolved. We had a lot of sessions with Perimeter, to discuss different themes and talking about feature requests, these requests were all monitored and many of them are now in development or already released. That's great!

**What do you dislike about Check Point SASE?**

New Gateway locations could be deployed a bit faster.

**What problems is Check Point SASE solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're securing our employees during their work. We are an international team and so we have to make sure that all devices are secured and with the VPN Solution from Perimeter81 we can manage it. There is no more need for us to have local VPN Gateway in all necessary countries.
