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.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers.
What needs improvement?
The solution fails to support hybrid deployments.

How was the initial setup?
I rate the product's initial setup a nine out of ten since the setup phase is seamless 99 percent of the time. If the end user customized the Office 365 tenant a lot, then a manual setup might be required.
The solution is deployed on the public cloud while supporting cloud services from Google and Microsoft.
The deployment process of the solution takes about five minutes. It would probably take ten minutes if we consider from start to finish of the deployment process.
For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Harmony Email & Collaboration module and then provide the credentials to your Office 365 tenant, following which the integration process starts.

I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
It is a reasonably priced product offering good value for money.
What other advice do I have?
I would say that since Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration provides a two-week evaluation option, it's very easy to integrate into your environment in a read-only mode so that it doesn't interfere with your email. It just scans and then provides you a report afterward of the threats your solution has missed and what Check Point would have caught.
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a fantastic solution.
I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.
