Harmony Email & Collaboration (Avanan)

Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration is used to secure all incoming emails and emails within the organization.

All PDF files and attachments are scanned while sending an email from one user to another within and outside of the organization.

It is also used to block users from receiving spam emails.

Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration works seamlessly with cloud email providers such as Microsoft Office 365  and Google Workspace , and it also provides security to collaboration tools such as Teams, OneDrive, Google Drive , and Slack.

It is very easy to set up, requiring only about seven clicks and two to three days to receive all information from the mailboxes and provide details about partners, shadow IT, and other relevant information.

Regarding threat detection, it provides additional security to the already inbuilt security from Microsoft Office 365  and Google Workspace .

It blocks security threats and malware that have been passed on by Microsoft Office 365 EOP and works inline with all cloud email providers.

The amount of resources required to conduct a deep dive into email security has been reduced because of its automation feature, which allows users to manually restore quarantine files at their own risk.

Previously, when using other email security providers, logging in daily was necessary to remove all quarantine emails.

Now, users are notified of quarantine emails and can be provided access to release them from quarantine.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because it currently only supports email in the cloud.

If you have an email server such as Exchange or Zimbra, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration will not support it.

Support for on-premises email servers would be beneficial.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been used for about a year.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

There have been no issues with its scalability feature; everything is working fine.

Customer support has been awesome, providing prompt responses to all emails.

Previously, a different solution was not used, but access to Barracuda was available.

With Barracuda, manually changing the logs was necessary, which was tedious.

Compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it is much simpler, the dashboard is also simpler, and integration with all cloud email service providers is very simple.

Barracuda was being evaluated.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came in competitively with its competition, making it a good deal.

Fewer employees are needed since there is no requirement to continually check email and quarantine email, and time is also significantly saved.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is one of the best products to purchase if you do not want to compromise on security and want to save time.

This review has been rated with an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration is protecting against phishing account takeover attempts in platforms like Microsoft 365. Since email is the most common entry point for attacks, Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration helps us by scanning inbound and outbound messages, blocking malicious links or attachments, and preventing credential theft.

We had a situation where a spoofed email appeared to come from our finance department, asking for urgent payment approval. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration immediately flagged it as suspicious, quarantined it, and alerted our team before anyone could click on the link or respond, preventing what could have been a costly business email compromise.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration also made a significant difference with internal account takeover attempts. In one case, an employee's credentials were phished through a fake login page, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected unusual login behavior from an unfamiliar location, automatically blocked the session, and forced a password reset.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include malware and ransomware defense, which employs sandboxing and behavior analysis to stop advanced malware hiding in attachments or shared files.

The sandboxing feature stands out to me because it combines deep behavioral analysis with pre and post-delivery protection, which many competitors do not offer.

The unified dashboard provides a single view of email and collaboration security events across platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint , reducing the need to jump between multiple consoles.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by preventing phishing attacks and account takeovers in security files and collaboration platforms like Teams and SharePoint , reducing response times through automatic quarantine and post-delivery remediation.

Support could be improved, as it is only available in English.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around six years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Its scalability is also effective.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very great and very fast.

I did not previously use a different solution.

Time saved and fewer incidents are the relevant metrics for return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been positive, and I feel the price is great with no problems.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I did not evaluate other options.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great security tool that is very fast and very easy to deploy. I give it an excellent recommendation. I have rated this review nine out of ten.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration is because I use Microsoft 365 and need to integrate with a great tool for security in order to protect email and other collaboration tools, such as Teams, SharePoint , and OneDrive, from phishing, malware, and other account takeover attacks.

In the past, when a user copied a file into SharePoint  that had malware and shared this file with other users, Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration protects against this problem.

In our organization, we rely heavily on Microsoft Teams  and SharePoint for cross-department projects, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects internal file sharing and collaboration across multiple departments by automatically scanning shared files and links before they are accessed by colleagues, preventing malware from spreading internally if someone unknowingly uploads a compromised document.

The best feature that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers for me is the zero-day threat prevention because it uses sandboxing, and I am driving analysis to catch unknown threats that traditional email and email security means miss.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been a game changer for our team because sandboxing and zero-day prevention have helped us, and one specific example is a targeted phishing campaign where attackers tried to deliver malicious Excel files with embedded macros; traditionally, those types of files might slip past basic email filters, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration sandboxing detonated the file in a virtual environment, detected the malicious behavior, and blocked it before it reached the user's inbox.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a very positive impact on our organization across security, workflows, and user experience, for example, workflow improvements, as employees spend less time second-guessing suspicious emails because Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration automatically blocks phishing attempts and malicious attachments.

I notice time saved because the technical support team has more time for other activities in the organization with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration active.

The documentation is a little unintuitive, and I make an additional effort for the first deployment.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around four or five years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very scalable, especially when I use different tools in the Infinity  Portal.

I find customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be very great.

I would rate customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as a nine.

Integrating Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration with our existing systems and tools is easy because of native cloud integration; for example, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration connects directly with Microsoft 365, so we didn't need to install additional gateways or agents, which made the initial deployment much easier.

I have seen a return on investment in the support department, particularly regarding the time saved.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great because the pricing is normal compared with other tools in the market.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great opportunity for saving your emails and your collaboration tools with the best tool for security. I rate this solution a nine.
