We are using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect our organization from phishing attacks. For example, our CEO received phishing emails with a subject line 'Fund Relief,' and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helped block it.

The features I appreciate about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration include notifications about email reputation and phishing protection. As the admin, I am notified immediately when phishing attacks occur, allowing me to block harmful emails quickly. This notification feature ensures that I have control over email activity and helps maintain data security.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could improve by providing configuration recommendations and use case specific solutions.

Our company has licensed Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for twenty users, and I have just started configuring it.

I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is excellent. It allows us to scale protection for more users as needed, potentially up to hundreds or thousands.

I would rate customer support eight out of ten. Though it's my first product from Check Point, I find the service good.

Positive

We did not use any specific email solution before this, except for Microsoft's built-in Defender with Office 365.

The initial setup of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was easy because it is cloud-based, and there is a helpful guide on the dashboard.

Investing in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has protected our company data from theft, providing clear ROI. This solution manages threats, reducing my concern about daily email monitoring.

I advise organizations to use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect against phishing attacks and data thefts. I would rate the overall solution eight out of ten.

We utilize Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration for email security.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers online support and has tight integration with Microsoft. These are features we often use. Additionally, the deployment is feasible if you have completed some training and acquired hands-on experience. In general, it has good support.

There is a need for improvement in handling business email compromise. Additionally, technical support and the licensing model require enhancement.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration for almost eight years.

Support issues exist with the Check Point company itself, not necessarily the product.

Positive

Earlier, we used Avanade, IronPort, and Proofpoint before moving to Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration.

The initial setup is not easy. It is manageable with the proper training and hands-on experience. If the customer wants only the normal features, it usually takes one to two days; otherwise, five days.

I consider the pricing to be a bit expensive, similar to other solutions.

I recommend Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration to all types of companies, from small businesses to enterprises. I would rate the overall solution as eight out of ten.

We were using Google Email earlier and wanted to move from Google to Microsoft. Knowing the vulnerability issues with Microsoft, we wanted a strong email security management system on top of Microsoft 365.

We aimed to enhance the server security perimeter due to previous vulnerabilities with Microsoft, ensuring a strong email security management system.

The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does. Additionally, the threat management database provides consistent updates.

Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda - like more advanced threat management.

We have been working with Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration for more than five years.

The stability is good. I haven’t experienced any outages or abrupt stops.

The scalability is good and improving, rated seven to eight out of ten.

Whenever there's a need, my team communicates with them, and we have always been satisfied. Rated eight out of ten.

Positive

We previously used Barracuda and chose Check Point as it was known to us and seemed better.

The initial setup was easy, rated between seven and eight out of ten.

We did it through Check Point's team, which involved three to four people, primarily from my infrastructure team.

The pricing is reasonable, rated five out of ten for affordability.

We evaluated Barracuda but chose Check Point as it was better.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use two solutions: Check Point Gateway and Harmony Email & Collaboration.

We primarily use it for IDS and threat protection, as well as VPN.

It's very easy to deploy with Microsoft Office 365.

The option to set a copy is beneficial. Additionally, the solution scans OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint content and provides a full report. 

If I store any malicious file in my cloud storage, it will give me detailed information in the Check Point console, including which DLL is infected. That's a very useful feature.

I'm satisfied with the product as it is, especially regarding security.

The reporting could be improved. Also, the predefined workflows cannot be changed. It would be great to add custom workflows to better suit customer requirements.

I've been working with Check Point for the last four years. I perform day-to-day operational tasks with it.

It is stable.

It is scalable. There are around 300 end users.

It's a cloud-based SaaS application, so it doesn't need to be deployed in multiple locations. We integrated it with our existing email solution, and all our email traffic is routed through it.

The customer service and support are very good.

Positive

I've worked with Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, and Barracuda Email Security.

The pros include quick implementation time and easy policy deployment. Security is also good, as Check Point provides multiple security engines and inline data security. As for cons, having the option for custom workflows would be a great improvement.

I completed the initial setup in about 15 minutes, by myself. It was very easy. There's no need for improvement. 

We share product white papers with our customers, understand customers' needs and current email infrastructure, and design a solution before pitching to them. We also create a project timeline for the POC and implementation.

It's easy to integrate, as it supports both cloud-based platforms, O365 and Google Workspace. If you have basic knowledge of your email platform, you can easily integrate the product.

Check Point takes care of the maintenance. It doesn't require any maintenance. 

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is beneficial for customers. It brings in the value.

It provides enhanced email content security to prevent external attacks.

I run the proof of concept and submit a report to management. They handle discussions with customers and coordinate with the Check Point sales team.

I would recommend it. 

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Some emails, specifically false positive emails, are, at times, detected by Microsoft under the phishing category. Check Point also detects phishing emails. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a tool that does not pass emails through the user's inbox, even if it feels like an email is not spam or involves phishing. Suppose a tool like Microsoft Defender detects any phishing activity. In such scenarios, emails are quarantined by Microsoft, and then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration cannot pass such emails to the user. I feel it is an area that can be improved. There are good options with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as one can still quarantine suspicious emails, and the users can see those in just a few clicks. The false positives are an area where the tool can introduce certain improvements they can improve by releasing emails to a user's inbox if it feels that there are certain areas consisting of false positives.

In the future, it would be great if it is possible to use the tool with Microsoft to help in the area revolving around false positives. Check Point should be able to release emails to the inbox even if there are some phishing emails. If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option. They have an option for spam emails but not for the emails associated with phishing.

I have four months of experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. I am unsure about the tool's version, but I know it is a cloud platform. The technical people handling Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration take care of the upgrades.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Around 500 people use the tool in my company. Two administrators are needed for the tool.

The product's usage would have to be increased if the organization grows.

The technical support for the solution is good because, so far, I have seen that they are very fast. I raised only a couple of tickets in the last four months, so it is not much, but I have seen that the support team is good. The product is very simple to manage and is not very complicated. It is a very straightforward tool. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

I know that my company was using a custom Linux-based system. I am not sure if it was managed by different administrators in our office. As it was a legacy system, my company wanted to go for a professional one that is more of a cloud-based solution.

The product's initial setup phase is very simple and automated. Everything can be made ready within a few clicks.

As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part.

Our organization was comparing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration with Proofpoint, which is an expensive tool, making it not so cost-effective for non-profit organizations like ours, where we have our budget limitations.

My company had Mimecast and Proofpoint as optional products when we evaluated the tools in the market, but we didn't go with the proof of concept model for both. Proofpoint was expensive when compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was a little bit better compared to Mimecast.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good, especially if you use Microsoft 365. The tool works well with Microsoft 365, which is why I feel it is a good product, as it offers compatibility. I can recommend Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration if you are a Microsoft 365 customer.

My company has never tried to see if Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is compatible with other products. In our organization, we just write this Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, which is our first product as an email security platform. We were satisfied with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I would recommend the product to others. If people don't use Microsoft 365, then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration won't be a compatible tool in their environment. Exchange Online users can use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The customer has a presence in different countries like India, Poland, and the US. They use Office 365 as an email solution, and on top of that, they use Harmony Email & Collaboration.

All API email security or gateway security solutions work the same as API based. You create an API with the vendor, and it works for all the same. It's just the approach of threat intelligence, how it is taken and how much threat intelligence you have. 

Pushing was a big challenge for email security. Cisco has done that, but now Check Point is also doing the same with the quarantine email. So, it's good. Previously, they didn't have the ability to find and detect the quarantine email, but they are doing it now.

The most valuable feature is the sandboxing feature. It provides a sandboxing environment where you can open links and see where they lead. You can see what is presented in the link after opening it.

Other advantages, like workflow integration, are quite simple and offered by other vendors as well. Cisco is also integrating virus totals into their products. 

But the key advantage here is the visibility you get with the sandboxing feature. 

You can see on a map, on the same dashboard, where the mail originated, where it is going, and from which relay servers. You can see everything visually on the portal, including who it's reaching and who is CCed or BCCed.

Every vendor has a different approach. But as far as I have seen with Check Point, it is quite easy and simple to manage. They have the DLP solution integrated with this email. For example, for email, DLP is zero.

Maybe Check Point can work on the DLP part. Proofpoint's email DLP is very good, so they can work on that more.

I have been using it for six months. 

Stability is not too bad. It's not glitchy. 

Scalability is good. You can add users at any time. You can have hundreds of users in there. No issues or restrictions here. 

The customer service and support are okay. 

Positive

Compared to other solutions, users have the advantage of cost because Check Point is very easy to handle. You can easily train anyone on Check Point. It's not complex.

It's quite simple. Straightforward provisioning is required. You have to do it with a vendor, like Office 365 or G Suite, and you are good to go. Just onboard the users, and that's it.

You can deploy it in a day. For the refinement of the tool, it takes a little bit of time because all email security works by first keeping it on monitor mode and monitoring what you are getting as spam. You do an audit. It takes time with this. But for the configuration part, you can do it in a single day.

For deployment, one person is enough. For maintenance, you need two or three people to check spam. Sometimes, emails get blocked, and users request them to be unblocked. You have to verify those things. But for deployment, one person is enough.

It's a SaaS portal, so you don't have any maintenance issues because it's all done by the backend OEMs.

There is an ROI. In the long run, you will have saved money because it's a cloud-based portal with no maintenance issues.

Compared to other vendors, the pricing is average. I guess FortiMail is a little cheaper.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend using it because it is easy to use and manage. 

I use the solution in my company to secure the users' environment so that there are no phishing attacks. The tool operates as an anti-spam solution for the users in our company. Each and every email passes through the email security scanning process. Emails with issues get quarantined by the solution.

The most valuable features of the solution include all of the functionalities offered by the tool, which work fine. I cannot say that a particular feature does not work fine. Each and every feature provided by the product works fine.

At the time of the purchase of the product for the users in my company, I am unable to see or get details of the users for whom the product has been purchased. I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective.

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

There are day-to-day updates in the solution. The product gets updated automatically since it is a SaaS-based tool. My company does not have to invest time to upgrade any applications in the product. In general, it is a hassle-free process to work with the product.

My company has around 50 users of the product.

My company plans to increase the number of uses of the product in the upcoming two or three months.

The need to seek technical support depends upon the severity of the issues that we face in our company with the product. Depending on the severity of the issue, my company connects with the support team in three to four hours. During high-severity cases when our entire organization goes down due to some issue in the product, my company connects directly with the support team.

People already use the product as a SaaS-based tool, but it can be complex if used at an in-house level only. As a SaaS-based tool, the product is easy to use without complexities.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in twenty minutes to half an hour.

I work in a hospital where we purchased the tool for security purposes. Being a hospital, we did not purchase the product with an ROI angle in mind.

I don't even have details of the product's single license purchased by my company.

The product is useful as it works fine to secure our company's email communication. My company has not faced any issues since the time we purchased the solution.

The product has improved our organization's functioning as a secure collaboration tool, considering that different products are made available in the market on a day-to-day basis. As a tool for email security, the solution serves as one of the best products in the market.

The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products. When it comes to integration, the product will ask about the credentials of the global applications to the tool's admin, after which it will automatically scan the licenses of the integrated products.

The reports and analytics part of the product is fine for my company since it allows us to check the analytical reports on a weekly basis at a user level. The product provides different kinds of reports like anti-spam reports that we can check in our company.

I recommended the product to those who plan to use it for email security purposes, as it offers a seamless and user-friendly experience to its users. There is no complexity involved in integrations with other products for better email security.

The need for cybersecurity will increase in different ways on a daily basis. The product does not provide alerts. The product fails to provide alerts if some issue occurs at a global level. From an improvement perspective, the product should provide alerts related to email security to its users.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
