Detailed Review
The product is called Check Point SASE and was formerly Harmony SASE. The Perimeter 81 website now carries the title Check Point SASE - Perimeter 81, so this entry also stands for that service.
The cloud terms are, per search excerpts of checkpoint.com, under Israeli law with the Tel Aviv-Yafo courts, and the contracting party is Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
What the platform covers
Private Access gives agentless and client-based zero trust access, Internet Access inspects browsing on the device and in the cloud, and SaaS security adds inline and API-based controls, tenant restrictions and DLP with over 800 predefined data types.
Networking side
SD-WAN features include routing optimised for over 10,000 applications, steering by link health and sub-second failover between MPLS, 5G and broadband. Branches are provisioned without touching the device.
Bought through partners
Check Point says it is a 100 percent channel company, so expect to deal with a reseller and a quote, not a self-service signup.
Limitations to Consider
No prices are published and the product is sold through channel partners. The cloud terms page blocked automated access, so governing law comes from search excerpts. Check Point is a large vendor, so the challenger angle of smaller European tools does not apply. Hosting regions are not stated.
Who Should Use Check Point SASE
Mid-sized and large organisations in Europe that already trust Check Point for firewalls and want SASE from the same supplier under an Israeli contracting entity.
