Perimeter 81 (Check Point Harmony SASE) review and pricing

Mid-market ZTNA absorbed into Check Point; rebranded Harmony SASE.

By Check Point Software Technologies · Founded 2018 · Tel Aviv, Israel · public

Perimeter 81 was the mid-market ZTNA / Network-as-a-Service vendor acquired by Check Point Software Technologies in August 2023 for $490M, and rebranded as Check Point Harmony SASE within the broader Harmony platform (alongside Harmony Endpoint, Harmony Email). The product was originally founded 2018 to bring enterprise-grade ZTNA to mid-market buyers, with strong G2 ratings and a transparent published pricing motion (rare in this segment pre-acquisition). Best fit, post-acquisition, for buyers consolidating onto Check Point security; standalone procurement signal has weakened. Trade-offs: post-acquisition product velocity has slowed meaningfully (classic Check Point integration pattern), the former transparent pricing motion has been replaced with Check Point enterprise pricing process, and original mid-market customers report mixed experience with Check Point support transition.
