Check Point Harmony SASE review

Check Point Harmony SASE, the product that grew out of Perimeter 81, is the most complete security suite among the mid-market options here. Private Access applies identity-centric zero trust rules to employees, third parties and branch offices over a full-mesh private backbone that Check Point says spans more than 80 data centers. The same platform adds Internet Access with on-device inspection and web and DNS filtering, SaaS security with inline and API enforcement and AI-based data classification, and secure SD-WAN for branch offices. Threat prevention runs on Check Point's ThreatCloud AI, and an AI Copilot answers admin questions. Check Point reports more than 12,000 customers on the platform. The drawbacks are about buying rather than capability: the product page publishes no price, Check Point sells through partners, and the breadth means more policy to design. It ranks sixth because value is hard to judge without a quote, but it is a strong pick for companies that already use Check Point firewalls.
