Offers good features like anti-spam, anti-phishing and more and easy integration
What is our primary use case?
The use cases include anti-spam and anti-phishing. We have Email Collaboration for the anti-spam solution and anti-phishing solution. It’s a very good platform because every day, we block about 1,000 to 5,000 batch emails with malware, spam, etc. So for our business, it’s very important to have this platform, this solution, because it helps us very well with all email.
What is most valuable?
I have only a few features, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and DLP for a use case. It’s a very good platform. I tried all the models, all the features in this platform, and it works very well.
What needs improvement?
The pricing could be improved, because when I first bought it, it was cheaper than it is now. And the first time, I had more features than the trial license. It’s more costly now, but I have fewer features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for about four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
For the years we’ve worked with the product, we haven’t had downtime.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Our company has around 2,000 users. It is in the retail industry.
I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
We can make a ticket directly to the Check Point pack. It’s a great function. We don’t wait for customer support because customer requires collaboration, and it’s truly the case.
If the customer doesn’t have a fixed mistake in the platform, they need to escalate to Check Point. But I can escalate directly to Check Point for any support or consultation. So it’s very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I tried Cisco. I tried with Office 365. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great solution compared to these other companies because it’s more intuitive. I can see attacks in real-time.
The solution blocks all the malware and phishing emails. The percent of failures is maybe 1%. So 99% of phishing, spam, or malware is blocked with the Harmony solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. It is because it’s in the cloud. So we need to integrate Harmony with Microsoft Office 365, and it works. Maybe in three minutes to one hour, it works very well. We needed to make policies and collaborate with users, but it was very easy.
The implementation and the resolution took one test.
What about the implementation team?
We had two people, the customer and me, and maybe another person, but three people maximum is enough for the deployment process.
Maintenance is from Check Point. So we don’t need to do anything. It’s a great platform for maintenance. Check Point notifies us, so we need to do maintenance on the platform, and we’re okay with that. We’re good. We don’t need to do anything on the platform.
We don’t need to do anything on the platform.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is a little bit expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend using this platform because it makes policies and email integrations with Office 365 very easy. You can integrate Microsoft Teams with Sharepoint and OneDrive, and you can protect these clouds.
Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
