Harmony Makes Email Safer and Smarter
The web access is smooth and reliable, and the Infinity Portal makes navigation and management surprisingly easy even for non technical users.
Harmony Email itself feels thoughtfully designed: setting up policies is straightforward, and the interface doesn’t overwhelm you with complexity. It just works, and that’s what makes it stand out.
While the platform itself is solid, the pricing might make you think twice. Also, the official documentation could be more intuitive. Sometimes I find myself digging around or needing to ask support for things that should be easier to find or explain.
It’s not a dealbreaker, but definitely an area that could improve.
It keeps phishing and malicious emails out of our inboxes, which gives us peace of mind. We don’t have to constantly second guess what’s safe to open.
What I really appreciate is how easy it is to set up policies that actually fit our needs no tech headaches, no endless tweaking. It’s made email security feel like less of a chore and more like something that quietly works in the background.
One of the best-in-class email security solution.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are definitely the phishing filtering.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for one year.

How are customer service and support?
I would rate the customer support a four, maximum, because I have had to reach out to them, and it wasn't great. I ended up with a technician that didn't actually know how to resolve the issue and was just doing basic level one troubleshooting, so it was very time-consuming to work with them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Microsoft Defender before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but we switched because it was very time-consuming to tune properly, and also, most of the emails were delivered to users' inboxes and then removed afterwards.
How was the initial setup?
My advice for others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that it's very easy to set up. I think the setup was done in 30 minutes, so if you decide to go for it, there's not much consideration to be done, actually.

I have definitely seen a return on investment, as there are fewer incidents after deploying this software. We have gone from three to four successful phishing attacks every year to a maximum of one.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.
What other advice do I have?
I can give a specific example of how Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped me stop phishing or spam. We bought this product because Microsoft Defender let through phishing attempts, and one of our users clicked that one. So we looked for a vendor to assist us with additional filtering on our incoming emails. Since we implemented Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it's been great. It stops most, if not all, of the phishing attacks against us.
I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a 10 out of 10.
