The incorporated AI capabilities are particularly notable, functioning as AI versus AI, and it has protected us from various threats with a nice dashboard that shows if anything is missed by MS 365.

The advanced phishing protection is proactive in catching threats before users even see them; it does not just block obvious spam, it can spot subtle impersonation attempts and suspicious links that appear legitimate at first glance.

During the East Coast server outage with Amazon service this week, mail was delivered and then pulled back because Harmony wasn't working properly and needed to scan it.

I notice that there are areas for improvement in email security, particularly regarding Data Loss Prevention (DLP). It has limited functionality on outgoing DLP, meaning if someone is sending a sensitive file, I cannot rely solely on this solution for protection.
ErezZelikovitz - PeerSpot reviewer
E VP, Chief Product And Revenue Officer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

I can tell you that their management system, SmartConsole, is quite heavy and very slow, and the performance is a little bit weak.

Sometimes junior staff members would ask scripted questions without having enough knowledge to address the core issue immediately.

While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics.
RR
Sr. VP of Creative & Development at a non-tech company with 51-200 employees

The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English.

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

For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area.

While Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers useful analytics, there is potential for improvement in providing deeper insights.
