Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to address email threats. It has been effective for our organization by stopping many different kinds of threats, including phishing attacks and ransomware attacks. I am impressed by its AI capabilities because different AI capabilities are incorporated in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. It has been very effective for us, especially when an attacker tries to use AI in their email attack. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been effective in stopping those kinds of alerts and giving us insights about what is happening in an email alert. The AI features in email security within Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration have been particularly effective for us.

Regarding specific incidents where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's AI features stopped threats, we receive notifications whenever there is a new alert through email to the admin. Whenever there is an alert, we go to the dashboard to check what kind of alerts it has and proceed with the investigation. The system has a very nice dashboard with a clear layout when investigating incidents, showing email profiles and attack types. In the relationship section, it shows different AI indicators that confirm why a threat was stopped and what AI features are at play, indicating AI threats evident in the email. This helps us during investigations as it is easy to see different indicators and decide whether a threat requires quarantine or whether it's a true positive or false positive.

The first standout feature is that it's an API-based email security solution. It took us hardly half a day to get it deployed and set up, compared to other email securities such as Barracuda Email Security which takes days to fully deploy due to inbound and outbound connector setup requirements. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was protecting our incoming, outgoing, and internal emails within half a day of deployment. Another impressive feature is that it offers API-based inline protection, unlike Trend Micro Email Security which wasn't inline, meaning emails would first go to the inbox before being removed if threats were found.

The incorporated AI capabilities are particularly notable, functioning as AI versus AI. It has protected us from various threats and has a nice dashboard that shows if anything is missed by MS 365. For instance, last week we received an email flagged as safe by Microsoft, but Check Point flagged it. Upon investigation, we found it had a malicious attachment, and Check Point provided a full report highlighting the malicious indicators.

The positive impact includes a clear reduction in threats and improved detection capabilities. The dashboard is impressive, neat, and clean, showing all information about threats on the initial landing page. The analytics are very good, particularly the ability to identify real source IPs, which was a distinguishing factor from Trend Micro.

The URL emulation and real-time on-click protection are impressive features. When we receive a malicious document, it can sanitize the document by removing malicious elements while maintaining benign content. The user-to-admin interaction feature for managing quarantined emails is also noteworthy. We utilize analytics to generate reports, helping us pinpoint types of threats and their origin, which has been instrumental in implementing targeted training programs.

Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable.

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. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

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

We have used their support and rate it highly. We opted for the 24/7 premium support, which is very responsive and quick whenever we have configuration challenges or other inquiries.

We previously used Barracuda and decided to switch to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because Barracuda was unable to detect a range of threats that we can now identify thanks to Check Point's capabilities. The switch was primarily due to Check Point's API-based email security, which stood out during our evaluation.

Deployment of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was genuinely impressive and easy. You just needed the Microsoft admin credentials to set it up. After providing those credentials, you receive the options for automatic or manual deployment. When we chose automatic deployment, everything was successfully set up in about 10 to 15 minutes, followed by the application of default policies. Deployment was actually really straightforward for us.

After deployment, the configuration process was not challenging at all. We did not encounter any issues. The primary thing we had to do was change the default policy from detection mode to prevention mode after a few days. Initially, it only detected issues, but per guidance from Check Point and based on best practice documents, we switched to prevention mode. Moving to that mode was easy, and we quickly began seeing emails being quarantined and prevented, making the process quite smooth.

We have not faced any challenges integrating it with syslog and other services. The integration experience has been very good and seamless.

We have seen a clear return on investment. The time saved during investigations is significant due to the neat dashboard that organizes everything related to alerts. It doesn't require many people to investigate alerts effectively.

Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I found it competitive. Check Point provided discounts, making the pricing reasonable with respect to the features they offer. The pricing is very justifiable, neither exceptionally high nor exceedingly low.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we evaluated Trend Micro email security, but faced several challenges, such as an inability to support email banners and provide real source IP addresses, which we found lacking. Ultimately, we found that Check Point offered far better features, is stable and scalable.

My advice to others considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is straightforward. If you're looking for email security that is easy to deploy without disrupting your production environment, this is a great choice. With traditional gateway-based email security, you often have to deal with changing MX records and setting up various connectors, which can be a cumbersome process for administrators. This isn't an issue with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. In just about 10 minutes, one can set it up and get going with the required administrative credentials. Besides ease of deployment, it also offers a range of features that enable detection of malware, phishing attacks, business compromise emails, and other email threats effectively. It has been a very capable solution, and I haven't faced any challenges concerning threats after nearly a year of usage. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine because it satisfies all our requirements. The tool has effectively triggered various threats, which has increased our productivity in areas such as investigation, threat detection, and analytics. The user interaction has also improved, yielding benefits that contribute to a very valuable package for us.

At the moment, most solutions I have been working on are cloud-based, so I do not know if it will be in any of the solutions being reviewed.

Based on what I usually used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for, it is an edge boarding solution to prevent spam, viruses, and other kinds of intrusions from gaining access from the internet to services that are published on the internet. It also protects internal networks, ensuring only the services that are supposed to be talking to each other do so, and provides VPN access for people who are working remotely. On the Harmony side, it was mainly email filters. After we organized it with the consulting company and set the first rules, after one week the system seemed to have learned the company's pattern. So at that time, we managed to achieve a reduction of almost eighty to ninety percent on spam and false emails, which was very good at the time. Later on, once Harmony also integrated with OneDrive, we were also able to stop viruses and files from getting infected inside the OneDrive services as well.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a significant impact on phishing attack mitigation. It reduced phishing attacks quite a bit. One of the other preventative measures we implemented was teaching people how to detect those kinds of emails, and we were able to reduce phishing incidents quite a bit because the system was detecting most of the phishing emails that we were receiving. However, we still needed to ensure that on both sides, both the system and the user were able to detect those kinds of emails so they do not fall into traps.

The most valuable features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration include the artificial intelligence, which even before artificial intelligence was popular, was very good because once we programmed the first rules, it learned automatically the patterns of trusted and untrusted emails. It was much easier to manage false positives and spam and those kinds of emails. As I mentioned before, it reduced eighty percent of spam and false emails. Overall, for applying whitelists and rules on it, it was pretty easy because it also integrated quite well with Microsoft's own security systems, especially in the case of Microsoft 365, so we would not have one system onboarding the other; they would work very well together.

I think artificial intelligence-powered threat intelligence in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration acts pretty well on the preventive side, which allows us to be more proactive in terms of what domains are trustworthy and which ones are not. We had another case where initially it was blocking a lot of emails from China, but once we were able to filter out which domains were trustworthy, the system learned that those emails were trustworthy and would not tag them as suspicious. I thought it was pretty proactive once certain users get new emails from new domains they have never received before, where the first email does not characterize as suspicious but is monitored to ensure we are aware that this user is now receiving emails from this domain. If the patterns or the attachments inside the email show us to be untrustworthy, then it characterizes it as a suspicious email or, in the worst-case scenario, as spam or phishing email.

Robust inspection technologies in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration have helped me safeguard shared files in my collaborative environment. They make us much more aware of the files that are coming in and out, and we have following rules to ensure that they meet the standards as well.

I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could improve or enhance integration with other systems. I know at the moment it works pretty well with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Perhaps in the future, there might be solutions as well that work with on-premise email solutions. Also, in Brazil, if I am not mistaken, at the moment, there are still only servers in the US and Europe, so it would be nice if Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration had services in Latin America as well.

I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for the past five years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was very stable and reliable for me.

I do not remember any outages or limitations with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I evaluate that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was quite scalable. We started with one hundred users when we began using the solution. When I left the project, they were getting close to two hundred fifty users. It is quite scalable, but we just have to be aware of the licensing costs accordingly. Otherwise, as a cloud solution, we do not have to worry too much about resources other than paying for the necessary licensing.

I mostly communicated with the consultants representing Check Point rather than with their technical support. I only communicated with them mostly about the firewall side, not Harmony, for most things. After everything was set up and in production, my communication was mainly for improvements and questions about new functionalities that were introduced later.

I did not have such serious issues that required me to reach out to technical support or customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. The one time was when a user was looking for some emails that were not arriving. When we checked on Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we discovered the issue was on the Microsoft side, which was blocking the email. However, since Harmony integrates well with the security services of Microsoft, we can unblock those emails directly from Harmony.

Before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we used to use the built-in tools that Exchange on-premise had.

We decided to switch from the previous solution to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because we needed to improve the way we reacted to emails. Since the company relies heavily on emails for both internal and external communication, we needed to ensure we had a good and viable solution that allowed us to concentrate on other problems as well.

The initial setup process for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was pretty easy to set up on the Microsoft side, both for the proof of concept and for the production environment.

I participated in the initial setup of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

Nothing offhand comes to mind regarding challenges or complexities during the setup process. We followed the instructions in the manual and from the consultants, and everything went smoothly.

I have definitely seen a return on investment with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. On the administrative side, both my team and I used to spend much less time troubleshooting phishing, malware, and other email-related issues because of that solution. We gained much more time to address other issues beyond troubleshooting.

So far, the pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good for what it does. There is always room for improvements, but I think it is a fair price.

Other than Check Point, I did not evaluate other options or vendors extensively. I played a little bit with Acronis, which has a similar solution, but I had only done tests with it. They are mainly a backup solution but have also expanded into other services. Comparing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to Acronis, Acronis still has a couple of improvements to do, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration works pretty well on the detection of emails.

I have not utilized the automated incident response feature.

I think we used Microsoft's own real-time URL reputation analysis. I do not remember if we ended up integrating Harmony or if it was part of the package or not, but I do not remember using it.

I was an administrator and I also helped integrate the solution.

I would rate this review as a nine out of ten overall.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments across email and cloud tools. I use the Gmail collaboration and ensure suspicious links or files are blocked before they reach users. It helps enforce consistent security policies, reduce the risk of account compromise, and provide quick visibility into attempted attacks.

One example of how I used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to block a threat was when a phishing email disguised as a Gmail login request was sent to several employees. The solution automatically flagged the suspicious email, quarantined the message, and prevented users from clicking the malicious links.

Another way Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped in similar situations is by consistently stopping targeted spear phishing attacks. In one case, attackers tried to impersonate a trusted vendor with a fake invoice, but the system flagged the unusual sender behavior and quarantined the emails before anyone could open them.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are the advanced phishing protection and its seamless integration with collaboration tools.

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. The seamless integration has made my workflow easier because the same protection applies across email and collaboration tools without extra configuration.

Another feature is the detailed reporting and analytics that come with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. They provide clear visibility into attempted attacks, user activity, and overall trends, which helps the team fine-tune policies and demonstrate the value of the solution to management.

It has impacted my organization positively by reducing the number of phishing attempts that reach our users and giving us greater confidence in every communication. It has improved efficiency because suspicious emails are automatically quarantined, saving the team time that used to be spent on manual investigation. I estimate the team saves at least three to five hours per week, thanks to the automatic quarantine and clear visibility features.

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

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

The amount of resources required to conduct a deep dive into email security has been reduced because of its automation feature, which allows users to manually restore quarantine files at their own risk.

Previously, when using other email security providers, logging in daily was necessary to remove all quarantine emails.

Now, users are notified of quarantine emails and can be provided access to release them from quarantine.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because it currently only supports email in the cloud.

If you have an email server such as Exchange or Zimbra, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration will not support it.

Support for on-premises email servers would be beneficial.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been used for about a year.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

There have been no issues with its scalability feature; everything is working fine.

Customer support has been awesome, providing prompt responses to all emails.

Previously, a different solution was not used, but access to Barracuda was available.

With Barracuda, manually changing the logs was necessary, which was tedious.

Compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it is much simpler, the dashboard is also simpler, and integration with all cloud email service providers is very simple.

Barracuda was being evaluated.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came in competitively with its competition, making it a good deal.

Fewer employees are needed since there is no requirement to continually check email and quarantine email, and time is also significantly saved.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is one of the best products to purchase if you do not want to compromise on security and want to save time.

The best feature for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is its inline feature, where it remediates any emails with a phishing link as well as threats before they come into the inbox. This is what I appreciate the most about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has impacted my organization very well because you only require a small amount of human resources to look into email security since it is one of the first points of contact where any organization gets breached. You require fewer resources because it is automated, and you can even customize it so that if any email gets blocked, you can ask the user for permission to not quarantine it to the administrator.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved if it was offered on-premises, because most of our clients do not want to use cloud-based services; that is the only thing that I would appreciate Check Point to offer.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to protect my email and collaborations wherein I use Outlook, and it helps me to prevent my email from phishing or any kind of account takeover attacks.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include great cloud collaboration and file sharing tools, especially as I work on a hybrid model, sometimes in the office or at home. Additionally, it protects me on the cloud, has data loss prevention, and gives me real-time protection from all the unethical activities happening.
