The product is great since it allows to deliver the most of security value at the fastest speed, it reduces an operational load in terms of provision, installation, management, patching and hardware replacement by this increasing an uptime and time to deliver to market.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Harmony Connect (CloudGuard Connect)?

An improvement could be made to achieve better coverage in such complicated regions as Asia Pacific, China and Russia - some PoP locations might create complicated traffic flows and impact the latency and load on network infrastructure even further.

Advanced detalization of log information is missing in my opinion but CheckPoint team is definitely open for constructive critics and happy to made requested changes.

There are still some limitations exists while using centralised management with Harmony Connect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
