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

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.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is email security, specifically for phishing and malicious emails.

A quick specific example of how I use it for email security is that it has done an excellent job at stopping malicious emails and phishing emails; it has helped us stop some sophisticated attacks.

A specific incident where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helped us prevent a sophisticated attack involved being targeted by a Russian ransomware gang that compromised a partner's email; they were sending emails to our staff, and not only did Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration stop it, it gave us visibility into the attack and let us know we were under attack.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include stopping phishing attacks, keeping marketing emails and junk emails, as well as malicious emails out of our users' inboxes, which frees up time for our security team to focus on other issues.

When I mention that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration frees up time for our security team, it has significantly changed our workflow because we don't worry about phishing or malicious emails; previously, we would spend several hours a day or multiple hours a week dealing with phishing emails.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by keeping us safe, out of the news, and preventing us from having to be reactive to malicious phishing emails, allowing us to be proactive with the product instead.

Since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we have seen an amazing reduction in malicious emails; it is rare that we get a true phishing email that gets through, and very few do.

I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent for what it does; it keeps us safe, and we don't worry about phishing and malicious emails, so I'm not quite sure what they could do better, honestly.

I chose nine because I'm not quite sure anything is a ten; I don't really know how to answer that, but the ten leaves room for improvement.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about eight to nine years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration definitely scales; our organization has around 40,000 to 35,000 mailboxes.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been excellent; they have been very proactive in adding new features and helping with any issues.

Positive

We previously used Microsoft G3, but it missed way too many phishing emails and malicious emails, so we had to add another layer to block what Microsoft was missing.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that they need to look at it; the setup is super simple, and it works directly inline on O365; you can run it alongside any other platform you currently have, and it will tell you what you are missing, so I would say you absolutely must look at it.

I have definitely seen a return on investment since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it does an amazing job at catching malicious emails without us having to do anything and without any input from our team.

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was smooth, easy, and affordable.

We did evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but I don't remember what they were since it was a long time ago.

I would add that it has been very effective in our team not having to spend time chasing reported phishing attacks; we hardly see users report receiving malicious emails, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration does an amazing job at stopping the emails from reaching the users.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is deployed in our organization in the cloud; I would say it's in the public cloud, but I am not sure if it's public or private. We use a private cloud provider.

I would say that their built-in AI does a fantastic job at stopping new threats, which is another strong feature of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I gave this review a rating of nine.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration involves using a Check Point 1800 Quantum Spark, which is not available in the options. I have used this Check Point as a firewall that is attached to my on-premises office, saving all my functions from malware attacks and various threat attacks.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has saved me from many threats and malware, and since I attached this Check Point in my office premises, I haven't faced any glitches or issues.

I do not have anything else to add about my main use case or any other ways it has helped my organization.

In my experience, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers great features, including a comprehensive dashboard where I can see everything easily in the admin interface. The dashboard shows details about mobile devices, phone devices, smart watches, each in different categories, which allows for easy identification. I have used different firewalls before that don't have options such as this, and Check Point includes this very good function.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization significantly. Earlier, when I used a different kind of firewall without multi-layer functions, my users faced issues often. However, since Check Point came into my office premises, it helps me substantially by detecting malware threats and ransomware threats, stopping them at the firewall itself before they reach the end user.

I have noticed many positive changes since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Previously, we received many support calls from users regarding malware threats and issues indicated by exclamation symbols. Now, whenever any user attempts to access unwanted sites, the firewall automatically blocks access and provides a pop-up to me as the admin, allowing me to log into the admin console immediately and block the device.

I do not feel there is anything to improve in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. What is currently available is sufficient and very good.

As of now, I do not have anything to add regarding needed improvements as everything is functioning properly.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for the past 1.8 years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable, and I have not experienced any downtime or reliability issues.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is excellent. It is already growing with my organization, and the support provided by Check Point Harmony meets my expectations and even exceeds them.

For customer support, I would give a rating of nine out of ten.

I rate customer support nine out of ten because sometimes they do not provide immediate assistance, and it can take time for them to respond. That is the only problem; everything else is satisfactory.

Positive

I previously used Sophos 122 H, which is a much lower version.

I decided to switch from Sophos 122 H to Check Point Harmony because it offers a much better user login experience.

I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine out of ten.

I choose to give it nine out of ten because sometimes support has issues; they take some time when I raise a ticket. If they provided immediate support, I could give a ten out of ten.

I have seen a return on investment with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as it has saved a lot of money.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, I find that the functionality they provide for what we paid is worthy.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I did not evaluate any other options; I chose only this one option.

I offer one suggestion to all users considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration: before purchasing any product from Check Point, please consult with Check Point support and account managers, and take a demo for two to three times.

In terms of business relationships, I am not with Check Point as a partner or reseller; I am just a customer.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine.

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.

I have no problem with the scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I find the customer support to be very great and faster. I would rate the customer support a 10.

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution.

no

From my experience, the return on investment is time saved.

I find my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing to be great. I have no problem with the pricing.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is an excellent tool, and I recommend it for other companies. It is a complete solution with excellent protection and a big, modern solution. I give this product a rating of 10.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is used to secure all incoming emails and emails within the organization.

All PDF files and attachments are scanned while sending an email from one user to another within and outside of the organization.

It is also used to block users from receiving spam emails.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration works seamlessly with cloud email providers such as Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace, and it also provides security to collaboration tools such as Teams, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Slack.

It is very easy to set up, requiring only about seven clicks and two to three days to receive all information from the mailboxes and provide details about partners, shadow IT, and other relevant information.

Regarding threat detection, it provides additional security to the already inbuilt security from Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace.

It blocks security threats and malware that have been passed on by Microsoft Office 365 EOP and works inline with all cloud email providers.

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.

Positive

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.

This review has been rated with an 8 out of 10.

I primarily use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to secure all of our emails, both incoming and outgoing, and to prevent phishing emails from outside sources, as well as to run a phishing campaign in my department.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has a phishing campaign feature where you can run simulated phishing emails to a particular department that it recognizes in Microsoft Office, and if someone fails, the system will ask that user to enroll in a learning video tutorial.

I use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect my emails from outside phishing threats as well as to provide click URL protection.

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.

The inline feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration reduces incidents and saves a significant amount of time.

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.

I would want the attachment feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to scan for images, as it is integrated with AI. Currently it does not scan for images with nudity, and I would really appreciate it if it scanned for nudity components as well.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about one and a half years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a very stable product; we have not had any issues with it.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very open because it is on the cloud. We only pay for the number of users and the number of licenses for those users, and it does not depend on mailbox traffic.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent, and they support us very frequently, calling us within 30 to 40 minutes.

Negative

The return on investment for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is significant since we only require one person to oversee it, and once it is set up, we do not need to do anything else.

The pricing and setup cost for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is relatively competitive with its competitors.

We were trying to evaluate Fortinet and Barracuda, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came out on top.

Currently, only one member of our team is required to look at email security, but they do not have to keep monitoring it continuously.

If you are looking for a cloud-based email solution, then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best solution you could choose because it only takes about seven clicks to onboard, studies all your email patterns, and analyzes all your past emails. It is very easy to use.

I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

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.

One day I received a mail that looked exactly like an alert from Microsoft, but when I clicked it, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration flagged it as phishing and removed it from my inbox, which I really appreciated.

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.

The data loss prevention feature works for me by detecting when I had kept all my documents on Drive, but somehow my sheet got lost. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected it and immediately looked into it and got it back in my inbox.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization by helping us stop a lot of targeted phishing and fake invoice attacks. Earlier, we used to fall for such tricks, but now, with the help of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we do not get those kinds of emails. Our employees and the company's system are pretty much safe, and it has overall improved our email hygiene with very little spam and no malicious attachments reaching us, which get filtered out very quickly.

Since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we have seen a reduction in phishing incidents, as it helped me when I sent a spreadsheet that had my client's phone numbers and card details, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration instantly flagged it and alerted me. Additionally, I had a very convincing email that looked like it came from my HR asking me to update my bank details, which Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected within seconds and blocked from all our servers as soon as I responded to it.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved because I feel the advanced settings are a bit difficult to understand and get your hands on; it could have been easier to navigate in the dashboard. I also feel that working on cloud could be faster and simplified as it is on the on-premises mode.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has huge and large scalability.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good and active.

Positive

I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration an eight.

I give it an eight because overall I am pretty much satisfied with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as it works positively with my company, and I am very habitual of using it, which gives me a stress-free mindset to work properly.

I have seen a return on investment since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it helped reduce the time of the IT team management and our company's time to stop and detect all the malware and ransomware. One phishing-related financial fraud is pretty much able to shake the system, and now I feel it is a return on investment because our money is not getting out of the company because of any phishing activities.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration indicates that the pricing feels a bit on the higher side, but the deployment was quite comfortable. It took us some time to deploy it and understand the learning curves, but we manage it now.

I would advise others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to evaluate and compare it to other companies providing similar solutions in terms of pricing. It is also important to make your IT team ready and understand each feature thoroughly, including the advanced features, so they can use it fully. I gave this product a rating of eight out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments. We use it most often to scan incoming emails and block suspicious links before they reach users.

A clear example of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protecting us was during a phishing campaign that mimicked our internal HR message, where several employees received an email with a fake link to their payroll details. It immediately flagged the message, quarantined them, and prevented users from clicking the malicious link. In another case, it blocked a suspicious attachment that contained malware before it reached the inbox. This protection saved us from potential credential theft and downtime while keeping daily communication secure.

Another useful scenario for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is when an external partner sends a large volume of attachments. The solution scans and filters their files automatically, which prevents malware and unsafe content from slipping through.

The best feature in my experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is its strong phishing protection and ability to block malicious attachments before they reach users. I also value the account takeover prevention feature, which monitors for suspicious login attempts and enforces security access, along with the seamless integration with platforms like Office 365.

The account takeover prevention feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been very effective for us as it monitors login behavior and flags unusual access attempts, such as sign-ins from unexpected locations or devices. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has impacted our organization positively by providing a noticeable reduction in phishing attempts reaching users and fewer incidents of suspicious attachments making it into inboxes. This has lowered the number of security alerts our team needs to handle and saves time on manual investigations. Employees feel more confident working with email and collaboration tools, knowing they are protected.

On average, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration blocks around 200 to 300 phishing attempts per month that previously would have reached user inboxes. Incident response time has also been reduced by more than 20% before suspicious emails are quarantined automatically, which requires fewer manual checks. Overall, this has saved our team several hours each week and allowed us to focus on proactive security improvements rather than chasing alerts.

There are areas that could be improved for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The reporting dashboard of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be more customized so different users can get the exact insights they need, and the integration with third-party collaboration tools outside of Microsoft 365 would also make it more versatile.

The documentation for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is only in English and is not intuitive, which could be improved. I chose eight out of ten for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it needs to create intuitive documentation for first-time implementation.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is good.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very fast. I only needed to create a support incident once, but Check Point support responded and created the solution very quickly. For me, it is very, very, very good.

Positive

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to integrate with existing platforms like Office and Microsoft 365, and the deployment was straightforward and required minimal change to user workflows.

I think about the time saved with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because during the week, employees have more free time to investigate other aspects of their position.

The pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great for us, with no problems. It is perfect for the large application of security.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a big and modern security tool for email and other collaboration tools in your company. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is an excellent tool that is centralized and a perfect solution. I rate this product an eight out of ten.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is for protecting emails which are incoming and outgoing, for any attachments or malicious email, protecting from malicious email, phishing emails, and any malicious attachments coming from the emails. HEC is implemented inline and is integrated with Office 365, protecting around 34,000 users who are behind HEC.

Additionally, the DLP feature is implemented for the users, allowing control over whatever the users are trying to upload on the SaaS applications or anything else that can be controlled by HEC.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that only clean emails are delivered to users, around 34,000 users are being protected by HEC. If HEC finds any malicious content in the email, that will be blocked, and only clean emails will be delivered, saving time from unnecessary disruptions in the network, and eventually helping the organization to grow.

I have definitely noticed a reduction in phishing mails and other malicious attachments because HEC is set inline, blocking all kinds of malicious emails and only delivering safe mail to the end users. I can say that thousands of malicious or phishing mails are getting blocked at the edge for around 34,000 users.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers in my experience include integration with the sandbox HEC in the backend, which uses checkpoint sandboxing capabilities to detect zero-day attacks, and it has a unique capability of protecting password-protected files, being able to scan for password-protected attachments. Furthermore, internal scanning and impersonation are also good features about the Check Point HEC.

Administering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy, as the policies are straightforward and we can simply go with the standard best practice options which are predefined. These options are easy to implement and configure, with the integration with Office 365 also being straightforward.

Currently, Check Point HEC supports only Microsoft Office 365 and Google Sheets. In today's world, some clients are using old email service provider solutions, so it would be better if HEC also provides support for third-party email service solutions, such as IBM HCL Notes, creating more opportunities.

The UI is user-friendly, which seems fine, and I don't have any additional thoughts about needed improvements.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for the past two years as an administrator, and I have implemented Check Point HEC.

In my experience, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable, and there are no downtimes noted.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration scalability is good, as it allows integration with SaaS applications as well.

For customer support, I would rate it around eight, as sometimes we get delayed responses. We understand that with respect to SLA, but we expect they can go beyond SLA and provide quick support for the client.

I rate customer support at eight.

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The deployment of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration in my environment is straightforward. Initially, we have to register at the Infinity portal, and after successful registration, we have to log in. Since it supports only Office 365, it requires only global admin credentials for integration, which is a straightforward process that can be completed within a few clicks.

The configuration process after deployment is easy, as the setup, rules, and policies are predefined, allowing us to use best practice and default settings that are simple and easy to implement.

The initial setup with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was straightforward without any hesitations, with configuration steps being very easy to implement.

I have seen a return on investment since implementing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. The time saved for around 34,000 users, protecting and delivering safe emails to users, reduces unnecessary disruption in the network, allowing users to focus on their desired tasks and helping the organization grow.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration are okay; however, it might be higher compared to other vendors, but it's justifiable regarding the security features provided by Check Point.

I have no knowledge about evaluating other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

My advice for others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to go with the best practice, which is already predefined and to select options while configuring policies based on those suggestions.

I chose to rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration nine out of ten because I'm expecting some reduction in false positives, as it's AI-driven, and I understand that AI-based false positive detections happen, so I recommend improving that in the future.

My company is a partner with this vendor. I have not been offered a gift card or incentive for this review. I do not have any additional thoughts about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

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.
