I deal with firewalls, firewall switches, and FortiCloud. Regarding the web application firewall, FortiAppSec Cloud, I have worked on some projects for customers who have switches and firewalls and want to obtain the solution for the management console in the cloud.

I work with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, and other products from Check Point and firewalls. I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about five years.

I find the certification for Check Point products most valuable,. Some engineers on my team have obtained Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) and certification.

The automated incident response feature by Check Point CloudGuard is a good product. I assess the effectiveness of AI-powered threat intelligence in blocking email threats as a really good addition for new product services because AI is something that most companies and technologies are now working with.

The way robust inspection technologies have helped safeguard shared files in my collaborative environment depends on the opportunity that the company has with the customer.

I have noticed a significant impact on phishing attack mitigation with Check Point CloudGuard. For us, I prefer Check Point before Palo Alto and before other brands because Check Point is most effective in attack mitigation and attack detection.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is currently working well, as it is able to detect risks before they occur, unlike Microsoft. We have been able to demonstrate to customers that Check Point can detect a risk that Microsoft overlooked.

I do not know what additional features I would like to see in the future to make the product even better because this is a good product.

I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about five years.

I agree with the way that Check Point is working. I do not have ideas on how to improve it because this is the tool that makes the work and the job correctly.

Deployment is easy for the product.

I rate the technical support by Check Point as one out of ten because I did not use Check Point support as we had no problems when we deployed the solution. Once the solution was already in production, it worked properly and never failed. To be honest, I have never worked with Check Point support.

We have worked with other brands such as Fortinet, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks, as we are a partner company for several brands and specialize in networking and cybersecurity solutions. More than just selling products, we are consultants, so we recommend the brand that best suits our clients' needs. It's possible that someone visited our website looking for information about a specific product.

The integration with third-party solutions is straightforward. It is a product that can integrate with another product as well.

No, we haven't used other resellers or integrators, because we are a Checkpoint partner and integrator.

In our region here in Peru, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is not as popular as there are some alternatives which are better known.

I am not the person to say what cost Check Point has for their products. However, for partners like us, if we could get some discount or protect our project in front of another competition, that would be great.

I represent other brands including Check Point and Palo Alto. Several brands are represented by our company because we are more than just the sales boxes of products—we are a consulting company as well. Depending on the customer necessity, we can find a solution for that customer based on what they want, what they need, and the cost that they are able to spend.

For a small company, I do not think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best fit because small companies are always looking for a cheaper product. However, for medium and larger companies, it is better.

We are working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration not only for Harmony, but also for their SaaS solution, their CloudGuard solution, their next generation firewall solution, and their SD-WAN solution.

We started working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, which is a very good solution for Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace users. For their office business productivity suite, which includes products and solutions such as email, OneDrive, SharePoint, Slack, and Teams, this solution gives 100% protection. As far as Google Workspace is concerned, it gives protection for Google email, Gmail, and Google Drive. Additionally, it provides protection for other services such as Box and Dropbox.

Deployment is very easy since it is API based and does not require any harsh configuration. The DMARC management and DMARC forensic is the best feature. Their security engine provides everything such as DLP and encryption. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration provides almost 100% security for phishing emails. Their DMARC management is very standard compared with any other brand or any other email security provider.

The best thing is that on a single tenant I can manage multiple services such as Harmony Endpoint, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Browser, mobile security, EDR, XDR, which is endpoint security, and SaaS. All of these services have a single dashboard. When giving security to email, in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I do not need to change any MX record or any DNS entry changes. I simply add one text record for DMARC and no changes are needed in the MX record of that particular domain. This is very easy because Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is in the tenant of Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace only.

Check Point works on zero trust network technology. They are not only giving a feature of artificial intelligence but also machine learning summary. Machine learning summary is also given when they catch any kind of incidents such as phishing attacks, malware attacks, and ransomware attacks. They always provide real-time alerts for that.

Real-time URL analysis is provided for phishing links and all these things. It gives 100% output for that and shows the source from where the malicious URL comes from. Additionally, they always provide threat emulation. This means the simulation of what danger happens when I click that particular URL is also provided in their report.

It gives 100% protection to all BYOD devices. For example, one single Microsoft 365 account can be configured on different five devices. Many companies give email access to their employees on their mobile as well. In that case, if any malicious file is on the mobile and the employee would like to save it on OneDrive, due to this security, the user and administrator will get a real-time alert that this file is malicious and cannot be uploaded to OneDrive. This not only saves money but also saves time and prevents the organization from such cyber attacks.

Check Point must develop one mobile app for iPhone users, Android phone users, and Windows phone users or at least for the administrator to see that dashboard on that particular app. This would be very helpful for administrators. Currently, every time we need to log in through a computer, we have to go through multi-factor authentication and all these things, which is time-consuming to log in to that portal. If they give such kind of facility, then it will be very helpful for an administrator to manage and maintain the things in a proper way.

We have been using this solution for the last three to four years.

Their support is very great. In cloud services, there is no RMA involved, which means no physical device is involved. The service is very up to date.

Cisco IronPort technology is available. However, Cisco, Barracuda, and many other solutions are available in the market. The problem is that the customer has to migrate their MX record for a particular domain. The basic thing is that in their technology, you cannot scan internal mail. For example, if two people are part of one enterprise and are using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, the communication between them on the same domain is also scanned. However, when considering competitors such as Cisco, Barracuda, Sophos, and other players in the market such as OPSWAT, there is always a threat that internal mail is not scanned because email is hosted on a Microsoft server and the MX record is hosted on a third-party server. That is the problem. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration scans internal as well as external mail, which is why it is the better choice.

Setup is very simple since it is API based. I do not require anything. I just have to enter the credential of Microsoft tenant ID and password or Google super admin username and password and the process is very simple due to artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. It will implement automatically. If I have some knowledge, I can implement the policies and have custom policies as well. In DLP, they have given already many pre-configured policies for data loss prevention. Apart from that, if I would like to have my own policy, they also give that facility where I can put my own policy.

The best thing is that on a single tenant I can manage multiple services such as Harmony Endpoint, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Browser, mobile security, EDR, XDR, which is endpoint security, and SaaS. All of these services have a single dashboard.

Check Point offers three features in their solution. The basic package, advanced package, and complete package are available. The complete package comes with encryption and DLP, which is Data Loss Prevention. The price difference between the advanced package and complete package is almost double. They have already given choices regarding which package customers can sustain and according to that they can be provided. As for the price, Check Point always has flexible pricing. They never charge more and can work within any given budget. I give Check Point 10 out of 10 for pricing. My overall review rating for this solution is 10 out of 10.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is used at the OAuth API level for integration with Google Workspace and Office 365. It is intended for customers who have their environment set up in Office 365 or Google Workspace and does not support any third-party email software.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has a comprehensive analysis page for phishing emails, showing details such as SPF, DKIM, and the AI detection model. The solution also includes sandboxing for links and attachments and has an integrated VirusTotal feature. The relationship between domains is detailed, offering valuable insights including risk analysis and communication history.

The automated incident response feature provides inline prevention by blocking emails before they reach the inbox. It is beneficial for security administrators as they can automate policies without daily manual inspections, leading to fewer false positives.

AI-powered threat intelligence effectively analyzes mail body to detect malicious intent, despite hackers employing new techniques that avoid conventional scans for attachments and links. The effectiveness is rated nine out of ten due to occasional false positives.

URL reputation analysis enhances threat prevention processes, being one of the top URL scanners available. It considers domain age as an indicator of potential malicious activity, alongside VirusTotal and other integrations.

The inspection technologies are robust, safeguarding shared files and integrating with platforms like Teams to block malicious links.

Overall, the benefits of using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration include easing system administration tasks. Features such as banners provide end-users with concise email summaries, enhancing usability and security awareness.

Improved support is needed as current support is slow. Additionally, the AI engine could improve, particularly concerning text body attacks where false positives have been noted. Latency issues have also been experienced, with some cases taking fifteen to twenty seconds to process, while others take up to one or two minutes.

I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for almost one and a half years.

I find Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be quite stable.

In terms of scalability, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easily scalable. As a cloud-based solution, it accommodates diverse user bases, from thirty thousand users to five hundred users, offering excellent scalability.

My experience with the initial setup and deployment process of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that it is minimalized, completing in fifteen minutes. However, since it is AI-based, it requires one day to synchronize and learn all mailboxes before policy setup can begin.

In terms of ROI, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration effectively brings ROI to my clients. It suits both SMB and enterprise customers because it is an affordable solution that performs well, resulting in satisfied customers.

My experience with the pricing aspect, including setup cost and licensing cost of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, is that it is minimal. Compared to competitors, it remains competitive.

Apart from Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I also work with other technologies, specifically Trend Micro. When comparing both, Check Point offers more detailed mail quarantine analysis, proving advantageous for system administrators.

From the features perspective of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it only supports Google Workspace and Office 365 because of its API-based nature. An MX gateway option would enhance the solution.

My advice to other organizations considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration would be that it is a great tool. Use it fully but check for false positives initially until fully streamlined. I rate this solution nine out of ten.

We use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for our clients, and we have also implemented the solution in our company for testing.

I have more experience with CloudGuard, and we need reviews for CloudGuard WAF and CloudGuard Network Security. If I deal with any of them, we can discuss any that I have better experience with.

I work with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but not in a wide sense. A couple of cases were in previous years.

I have dealt with Check Point Harmony for approximately two to three years, as we implement it into customer environments.

I work with Check Point as a reseller, often.

Clients can use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for specific purposes when the infrastructure has cloud products such as Office 365 or other cloud services, including Microsoft or AWS products, especially when the mail service is built on the Google platform. In these cases, we use CloudGuard and mail collaboration.

I think the biggest advantage of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, or Harmony in general, is the AI models implemented in this solution. The second advantage is the pricing, which is very affordable. The third advantage is that it is really rated highly in Gartner or Forrester statistic quadrants. It is a well-known solution, and for me, it is easier to sell to customers because the solution is clear, well-known, and really works.

The automated incident response feature is helpful for security strategy, but in its default form, it is very seldom implemented because it requires specific adjustments based on customer needs and specific infrastructure. In big infrastructures, automatic response is good, but it needs some adjustments.

The AI-powered threat intelligence feature works effectively for blocking email threats. I explored this question and have to say that it definitely works; the threat intelligence is well-developed in this vendor with a great threat database. There is very quick communication with this cloud, and the database updates every day, resulting in a really good collection since the sources of this cloud are quite diverse, including Google and Trend Micro.

Inspection technology helps to safeguard shared files in my collaboration environment; I think it is well-built.

The tool for phishing attack mitigation is well-built, but I do not have specific numbers or metrics to estimate its effectiveness.

A more intuitive interface would be an area for improvement. I would like the agents to perform better; sometimes, they are too heavy for endpoints, and they affect performance.

I have been in this domain for about four years, and I have worked with Check Point Harmony for about three years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable and reliable, with no observed glitches or downtime.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to scale; scaling is great.

I do not work directly with Check Point support, but I have seen that my engineer has had some issues.

I find Check Point deployment and installation to be straightforward, probably because we have qualified engineers. For us, it is easy, and we do not have problems with deployment. Check Point supports different third-party tools for deployment such as Intune, and it works quickly. We have more problems with deployment in Fortinet or Sophos.

In the whole picture, Check Point is quite a complete solution as it has EDR and smart CM. Compared to Fortinet or Trend Micro, I think Check Point has a clearer product line, making it easier for the end user to understand what they want and choose.

In general, the pricing policy of the vendor is affordable for the Ukrainian market now. I think a couple of years ago, about four or five years ago, the pricing was not as good, and the market was smaller than now. The current pricing helps businesses. I would rate this review as nine out of ten.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is email security, specifically for phishing and malicious emails.

A quick specific example of how I use it for email security is that it has done an excellent job at stopping malicious emails and phishing emails; it has helped us stop some sophisticated attacks.

A specific incident where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helped us prevent a sophisticated attack involved being targeted by a Russian ransomware gang that compromised a partner's email; they were sending emails to our staff, and not only did Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration stop it, it gave us visibility into the attack and let us know we were under attack.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include stopping phishing attacks, keeping marketing emails and junk emails, as well as malicious emails out of our users' inboxes, which frees up time for our security team to focus on other issues.

When I mention that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration frees up time for our security team, it has significantly changed our workflow because we don't worry about phishing or malicious emails; previously, we would spend several hours a day or multiple hours a week dealing with phishing emails.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by keeping us safe, out of the news, and preventing us from having to be reactive to malicious phishing emails, allowing us to be proactive with the product instead.

Since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we have seen an amazing reduction in malicious emails; it is rare that we get a true phishing email that gets through, and very few do.

I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent for what it does; it keeps us safe, and we don't worry about phishing and malicious emails, so I'm not quite sure what they could do better, honestly.

I chose nine because I'm not quite sure anything is a ten; I don't really know how to answer that, but the ten leaves room for improvement.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about eight to nine years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration definitely scales; our organization has around 40,000 to 35,000 mailboxes.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been excellent; they have been very proactive in adding new features and helping with any issues.

We previously used Microsoft G3, but it missed way too many phishing emails and malicious emails, so we had to add another layer to block what Microsoft was missing.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that they need to look at it; the setup is super simple, and it works directly inline on O365; you can run it alongside any other platform you currently have, and it will tell you what you are missing, so I would say you absolutely must look at it.

I have definitely seen a return on investment since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it does an amazing job at catching malicious emails without us having to do anything and without any input from our team.

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was smooth, easy, and affordable.

We did evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but I don't remember what they were since it was a long time ago.

I would add that it has been very effective in our team not having to spend time chasing reported phishing attacks; we hardly see users report receiving malicious emails, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration does an amazing job at stopping the emails from reaching the users.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is deployed in our organization in the cloud; I would say it's in the public cloud, but I am not sure if it's public or private. We use a private cloud provider.

I would say that their built-in AI does a fantastic job at stopping new threats, which is another strong feature of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I gave this review a rating of nine.
