Good for preventing phishing with a nice dashboard and Explore page
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to prevent any phishing emails from reaching out to the end users. We also use it for URL protection and DLP, to protect the end users from ransomware attacks, and to avoid any issues that halt business activities.
We used to have another solution for email security and we used to find so many issues while using it. We could not stop some phishing emails from getting into the user's mailbox and were worried about losing data. We had to work on fine-tuning the solution all the time to avoid the issues. We came to know about Check Point and wanted to try for email security.
How has it helped my organization?
We have blocked more phishing emails since we started using Check Point. The solution works brilliantly in filtering and the amount of information provided is unmatched and helped us in various ways.
The Explore page provides multiple options for searching for emails and other information. Quarantine/removing from Quarantine has become so easy with search options
The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails.
Check Point has become our go-to solution for most of our issues.
What is most valuable?
We like the email search options, availability of information on various aspects, algorithms, and AI models that provide pretty useful data - and the list goes on!
The email search/explore option helped us find the required emails and logs easily with multiple filters to use.
Information provided in each and every email is very useful for investigating any activity. We do not have to use multiple websites for that information since everything is provided in Check Point itself.
AI-based models and algorithms provide more accurate and useful information.
What needs improvement?
It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files. That will help in creating more filters and analyzing the data.
Providing more Training videos and documentation will be helpful for beginners to understand how checkpoint works.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for the past eight months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used some other email security tools and we used to have multiple issues with email filtering and available information. We do not see any of those issues after using Check Point.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are good with the licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We directly chose Check Point since we could not find any better alternative.
What other advice do I have?
It is the perfect one-stop solution for securing the organization!
Granular with good integration capabilities and helpful support
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for SaaS protection for 10,000 Gsuite users. How collaborators process data with sensitive information and information leaks was a constant concern. The collaboration solution allows you to have visibility of the entire SaaS environment and create customized security profiles to give optimal treatment to the information. This solution allows you to have very granular visibility at all times; this is of utmost importance as it allows you to make immediate and precise decisions about the security environment.
How has it helped my organization?
This solution has allowed us to have visibility of the security environment for the business and has allowed us to have specific treatment by users, user groups, and departments of the information that is processed. This allows users to be certain that their information is protected. Certain security problems were detected. Without this solution at the SaaS level would have been impossible to detect so there has been an improvement in the treatment of the attack surface and the protection of valuable data.
What is most valuable?
There are several features that were considered valuable. For example, the fact that the installation and integration of the solution with SaaS tools were very fast and highly recognized by SaaS administrators. I like the fact that having granular information about the potential threats is received in email. Being able to protect information repositories was of great interest to decision-makers. It was also possible to implement an entire environment in record time. Having this information allowed us to better model the attacking surface.
What needs improvement?
They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment).
Reports should be presented in such a way that they are readable by non-technical work groups who are involved in information protection and who may misread the information on the dashboard and make incorrect decisions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is very stable; it is a cloud solution and we have not had any operational incidents.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable since you only have to add licenses.
How are customer service and support?
They offer good support; you have several support options depending on the SLA you need.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The setup is very straightforward and very fast; it took about 20 minutes.
What about the implementation team?
The setup involved a mix of personnel and Check Point SE are experts in the area of security.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The setup was very fast; the license scheme was very easy to understand.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also evaluated the PAN solution and Fortinet.
What other advice do I have?
I consider it to be a cost-effective solution that focuses on security and is a highly recommended and easy-to-use option.
Reduces spam, offers excellent reporting, and has good management capabilities
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for the protection of email from phishing attacks, spam, and malicious email-related activities.
It detects and blocks the most advanced phishing attacks across inbound, outbound, and internal communications, in real-time, before the attack succeeds.
The solution is used for email protection, providing IT administrators with a great amount of information about possible attacks faced by the organization, and logins by users.
It also has a high level of detail in its reports, facilitating the management and detection of possible threats to the security of the organization.
With the addition of the DMARC module, it makes it much easier to monitor the security policies applied and provides visual information about the type of traffic received, avoiding domain spoofing.
How has it helped my organization?
The number of phishing and spam emails has decreased and email security has improved by 80%. The IT team has noticed a great improvement in the number of emails received and a decrease in attacks. The helpful alerts generated by HEC facilitate the management and response.
Thanks to its dashboard, it displays detailed information about detected activities, suspicious logins, span deletions, or phishing detected and blocked with a high level of detail. The level of reporting detail facilitates threat management; now the organization has an additional layer of protection for end users.
What is most valuable?
The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent. Thanks to its dashboard, the most valuable thing is the detection capability provided by this solution. The level of detail offered by Harmony is unique, to the point of showing the differences between what is detected by Office 365 and what is detected by HEC. The organization relies on this email security solution and facilitates the protection of all end users, decreasing security breaches by malicious actors.
What needs improvement?
The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter. It could be improved to obtain a greater level of detail, unlike Office 365, which offers an extreme level of detail and facilitates the management and comparison of what is happening with respect to the mail. Its integration with Gsuite is simpler and has that point against it, however high levels of detail can be obtained in the reports of the solution. On the other hand, the ease of administration and threat detection capabilities are its strong points, and it stands out from other solutions that I have had the opportunity to test before.
For how long have I used the solution?
Currently, this solution has been used for the last tree years.

AI assisted email security
What do you like best about the product?

CheckPoint's ability to provide a granular analysis of every email empowers us sysadmins with valuable insights into each email's impact and relevance.

CheckPoint's strength lies in its AI capabilities. However, as an IT administrator, I occasionally find myself in situations where having more extensive configuration options would be beneficial.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CheckPoint has been instrumental in mitigating the critical business challenge of malicious emails disrupting productivity. With its advanced AI driven email protection, we've witnessed a substantial reduction in the number of malicious emails.

Avalon Cloud Email Security
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud security product designed with simple one time configuration and future advanced monitoring, control using policies for any phishing attacks, spam, malware if needed. Tool itself provide enough security with latest auto features updates, hence administrator do not need to involve for any further customization. Location tracking is one more best funtion available to identity threat with regions and users access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cloud email security product cost is higher, hence unable to implement entire organization which we supposed to do. All the users supposed to protected. Microsoft Team is part of cloud email security package, but did not provide any protection for spam chat message in Teams, and Avalon team need to work on such threats.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product solves security threats, phishing advanced protection which is not possible with MS365. Malware protection, spam filtering etc. is also protecting. Tool work on second layer after MS365 inbuilt protection, which helps to reduce security threats.
