Prevents Account Compromise and Lowers Phishing Threats in Team Tools
Pros and Cons
    • "Support could be improved, as it is only available in English."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is protecting against phishing account takeover attempts in platforms like Microsoft 365. Since email is the most common entry point for attacks, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helps us by scanning inbound and outbound messages, blocking malicious links or attachments, and preventing credential theft.

    We had a situation where a spoofed email appeared to come from our finance department, asking for urgent payment approval. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration immediately flagged it as suspicious, quarantined it, and alerted our team before anyone could click on the link or respond, preventing what could have been a costly business email compromise.

    Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration also made a significant difference with internal account takeover attempts. In one case, an employee's credentials were phished through a fake login page, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected unusual login behavior from an unfamiliar location, automatically blocked the session, and forced a password reset.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include malware and ransomware defense, which employs sandboxing and behavior analysis to stop advanced malware hiding in attachments or shared files.

    The sandboxing feature stands out to me because it combines deep behavioral analysis with pre and post-delivery protection, which many competitors do not offer.

    The unified dashboard provides a single view of email and collaboration security events across platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint, reducing the need to jump between multiple consoles.

    Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by preventing phishing attacks and account takeovers in security files and collaboration platforms like Teams and SharePoint, reducing response times through automatic quarantine and post-delivery remediation.

    What needs improvement?

    Support could be improved, as it is only available in English.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    Proactive phishing defense has reduced data leaks but outgoing data protection still needs improvement
    Pros and Cons
      • "In terms of DLP, there is limited functionality on outgoing DLP specifically."

      What is our primary use case?

      The main use case for Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is phishing protection from anti-malware, account takeover, and data loss prevention.

      A typical phishing scenario is when an attacker sends a BEC style email, a domain look-alike asking finance to urgently process a wire transfer. In terms of DLP protection, an employee attaches a spreadsheet containing customer ID numbers, card details, and emails either to a personal Gmail account or shares it via a OneDrive link with anyone with the link. Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) DLP engine scans outbound mail and file sharing events using pattern matching or prebuilt compliance templates.

      What is most valuable?

      The best features that Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) offers include the ThreatCloud AI engine stack, zero-day sandboxing protection, advanced anti-phishing and anti-impersonation, and a clean dashboard.

      Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) has impacted my organization positively since there are no DLP issues or data loss. It prevents data loss and manages phishing protection effectively by using analytics to deep dive into specific threat categories. The anti-phishing and impersonation features catch subtle impersonation attempts and suspicious-looking links before users can see them, not just obvious spam.

      I have seen a reduction in phishing incidents and data leaks since every document is scanned before it goes out or comes in. In terms of phishing, the protection is proactive because it catches impersonation attempts and suspicious-looking links before users get to see them, so it has reduced the number of phishing incidents in my organization.

      What needs improvement?

      In terms of DLP, there is limited functionality on outgoing DLP specifically. The interface can feel clunky, and the notification settings tend to be noisy until fine-tuned. These are areas that could be improved.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) for the past five years specifically in my organization.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      There are no stability issues at the moment regarding my main use case or how I use Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration).

      What other advice do I have?

      Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) has made my life easier in terms of email security, and it covers all the items that I have discussed. I would rate Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) a seven out of ten.

      Security platform has improved cloud email protection and supports affordable AI-driven defense
      Pros and Cons
        • "I would like the agents to perform better; sometimes, they are too heavy for endpoints, and they affect performance."

        What is our primary use case?

        We use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for our clients, and we have also implemented the solution in our company for testing.

        I have more experience with CloudGuard, and we need reviews for CloudGuard WAF and CloudGuard Network Security. If I deal with any of them, we can discuss any that I have better experience with.

        I work with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but not in a wide sense. A couple of cases were in previous years.

        I have dealt with Check Point Harmony for approximately two to three years, as we implement it into customer environments.

        I work with Check Point as a reseller, often.

        Clients can use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for specific purposes when the infrastructure has cloud products such as Office 365 or other cloud services, including Microsoft or AWS products, especially when the mail service is built on the Google platform. In these cases, we use CloudGuard and mail collaboration.

        What is most valuable?

        I think the biggest advantage of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, or Harmony in general, is the AI models implemented in this solution. The second advantage is the pricing, which is very affordable. The third advantage is that it is really rated highly in Gartner or Forrester statistic quadrants. It is a well-known solution, and for me, it is easier to sell to customers because the solution is clear, well-known, and really works.

        The automated incident response feature is helpful for security strategy, but in its default form, it is very seldom implemented because it requires specific adjustments based on customer needs and specific infrastructure. In big infrastructures, automatic response is good, but it needs some adjustments.

        The AI-powered threat intelligence feature works effectively for blocking email threats. I explored this question and have to say that it definitely works; the threat intelligence is well-developed in this vendor with a great threat database. There is very quick communication with this cloud, and the database updates every day, resulting in a really good collection since the sources of this cloud are quite diverse, including Google and Trend Micro.

        Inspection technology helps to safeguard shared files in my collaboration environment; I think it is well-built.

        The tool for phishing attack mitigation is well-built, but I do not have specific numbers or metrics to estimate its effectiveness.

        What needs improvement?

        A more intuitive interface would be an area for improvement. I would like the agents to perform better; sometimes, they are too heavy for endpoints, and they affect performance.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        I have been in this domain for about four years, and I have worked with Check Point Harmony for about three years.

        What do I think about the stability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable and reliable, with no observed glitches or downtime.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to scale; scaling is great.

        How are customer service and support?

        I do not work directly with Check Point support, but I have seen that my engineer has had some issues.

        How would you rate customer service and support?

        Neutral

        How was the initial setup?

        I find Check Point deployment and installation to be straightforward, probably because we have qualified engineers. For us, it is easy, and we do not have problems with deployment. Check Point supports different third-party tools for deployment such as Intune, and it works quickly. We have more problems with deployment in Fortinet or Sophos.

        Which other solutions did I evaluate?

        In the whole picture, Check Point is quite a complete solution as it has EDR and smart CM. Compared to Fortinet or Trend Micro, I think Check Point has a clearer product line, making it easier for the end user to understand what they want and choose.

        What other advice do I have?

        In general, the pricing policy of the vendor is affordable for the Ukrainian market now. I think a couple of years ago, about four or five years ago, the pricing was not as good, and the market was smaller than now. The current pricing helps businesses. I would rate this review as nine out of ten.

        Email security has reduced phishing noise and now saves our team significant investigation time
        Pros and Cons
        • "The combination of smooth integration and advanced detection has made it feel like a strong layer of protection in our overall security stack."

          What is our primary use case?

          My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to search for different threats and vulnerabilities in our mail, such as Exchange 365, and other threats in our collaboration tools.

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has made collaboration more efficient by reducing noise from phishing and spam. Our team interacts with it mostly through the alerts and quarantine features, which are easy to manage and do not interrupt daily communications. The fact that suspicious emails are filtered before they reach the inbox means people can focus on real work without worrying about hidden threats.

          How has it helped my organization?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a positive impact by cutting down on phishing and spam, which means our team spends less time sorting through unwanted messages. A clear outcome we have noticed is fewer security incidents tied to email. What used to be a weekly issue is now rarer.

          The time saved in our teams is the best advantage when the organization uses Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

          What is most valuable?

          The best features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration are its strong phishing and spam filtering, clear alerts, and easy-to-manage quarantine. What stands out the most to me is how seamlessly it blocks suspicious emails before they reach users, while still giving us visibility and control through the quarantine dashboard.

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration integrates well with other security tools, which makes it easier to share threat intelligence across platforms. The combination of smooth integration and advanced detection has made it feel like a strong layer of protection in our overall security stack.

          What needs improvement?

          I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved with the documentation. Sometimes it is not intuitive, and I think it needs more images in the deployment steps.

          For how long have I used the solution?

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

          What do I think about the stability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

          What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

          How are customer service and support?

          The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very fast for me.

          I would rate the customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine on a scale of one to ten.

          How would you rate customer service and support?

          Positive

          Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

          My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is great. I have no problems with the pricing.

          Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

          What other advice do I have?

          My advice to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that it is a great tool and a complete and modern security solution. I would rate this review a nine on a scale of one to ten.

          Email protection has dramatically reduced phishing and malware threats

          What is our primary use case?

          My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is email protection against spam, phishing, and malware, and I can give a quick, specific example of how I'm using it day-to-day.

          In practice, I'm blocking threats before they reach our users, quarantining malware.

          What is most valuable?

          The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are great inline email protection, ease of setup with Microsoft 365, nice tools for searching for emails, reviewing fish alerts, and its ability to play nicely with KnowBe4 simulated phishing and other vendors of simulated phishing out of the box, along with very informative diagnostics about how Check Point categorizes any individual email I pull up.

          Out of all those features, the most valuable to my team is the email protection because it effectively secures our email communication.

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization with fewer impersonation attempts getting through and fewer invoice scams.

          What needs improvement?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because the console is very slow to navigate, pages are not responsive, and it can be a little confusing to set up initially when you're coming from a different vendor such as Mimecast, plus it seems to let through quite a bit more unsolicited spam than we used to see with Mimecast.

          The console issues mainly involve a general performance problem.

          For how long have I used the solution?

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

          What do I think about the stability of the solution?

          In my experience, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

          What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is fine; we have not needed to scale up or down, though I have mentioned that the performance is not the best.

          How are customer service and support?

          I have found the customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be excellent for the setup we did, although we haven't had much experience beyond that.

          How would you rate customer service and support?

          Negative

          Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

          I previously used Mimecast before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, and we switched because we had many sister company peer reviews of Check Point Harmony that were glowing and also because it was less expensive.

          How was the initial setup?

          The deployment of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration in my environment was easy while working with their customer success team.

          What about the implementation team?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration integrates with Microsoft 365 really well; it is easy to set up, manages transport rules and groups for you automatically, and you don't have to do anything manually in there.

          The integration also really nicely shows me what Microsoft 365 decides about each individual email that comes in and what Check Point does afterward.

          What was our ROI?

          I have seen a return on investment since switching as we're probably spending close to half as much as we were on Mimecast; however, it doesn't really have an ROI because it's a security product.

          What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

          My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration shows it was less expensive than our Mimecast licensing by quite a bit, so I found it pretty straightforward.

          Which other solutions did I evaluate?

          I evaluated other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, specifically Proofpoint and Mimecast.

          What other advice do I have?

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

          I choose nine because the performance has some downsides and negatives that keep it from being a perfect ten.

          A quick tip I would suggest is to see if you can get a demo because Check Point Harmony will do a full demo without even switching away from your old email protection.

          Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

          Public Cloud

          If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

          Improved email security and user awareness reduce data breaches significantly
          Pros and Cons
          • "There has been a 70% decrease in phishing emails and data breaches since implementing Check Point Harmony Email Security."
          • "For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."

          What is our primary use case?

          The main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is addressing numerous issues my customer faced with phishing emails and malware that was pushed into their system. They were using Microsoft Defender as a standard security for their email services, so they wanted to implement a more focused solution for Email Security.

          What is most valuable?

          When Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was chosen, the specific features that stood out to my customer were the integration of solutions with Office 365 as email service wherein Check Point excelled. They have a very tight integration with Microsoft Office 365.

          The customer ended up purchasing just the email component initially. The comprehensive and unified protection across users, devices and applications under various parameters is entirely a USP for Check Point Solution. Apart from the standard security such as email security, endpoint security, browser security, mobility security and the enhanced visibility of the solution in a single pane of glass through a unified portal, these are the basic features. What stood out was where the solution excels in providing customer reports of users sending mails to non-domain email addresses, which was showcased during POC.

          Reporting on users sending emails to non-domain email addresses helped the customer because they were unable to stop emails going to non-domain due to their business requirements. They had many vendors using non-domain specific Email IDs such as gmail.com or hotmail.com, which they couldn't block. Instead of blocking, they wanted to monitor people sending emails to non-domain email aliases. There had been cases of data breaches where customer users were sending IP data to users outside the organization. The customer wanted intervention, and if they couldn't block this practice, they wanted something that could be monitored by the IT team.

          They formed a group of three people wherein all emails sent to non-domain specific email addresses were reported weekly, later changing to daily reports. This allowed them to clearly pinpoint how many users were sending out emails and identify clear offenders of sending print emails, even after being advised not to.

          The measurable reduction in risky email behavior improved once users realized there was a system in place. During POC, they discovered some malware that was pushed to their system to check the solution's efficacy. These files passed through Defender but were caught by Check Point Solution, demonstrating the efficiency of Check Point Harmony Email Security.

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my customer's organization overall because once the system was implemented, there was a proper reduction in the number of data breaches and phishing emails.

          What needs improvement?

          I don't see any incoming pain points regarding Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. It has been a leader in Magic Quadrant already for 24 and comes from Check Point, a well-known vendor loved among tech people. For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area. In terms of user experience, it has limited self-servicing capabilities for end users. A bit more customization would be great as.

          For how long have I used the solution?

          My customer has been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for one year now.

          What do I think about the stability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable in my customer's environment with no downtime or reliability issues. When the demo POC was set up, most of the solution took place. Once the order was approved and the licenses were delivered, we only needed to upload those licenses into the customer's admin account, as all the policies and other configurations were already in the system.

          What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is fully scalable. This is the first year, so there haven't been many additional users. We are looking forward to the next year when the renewal comes up. The product grows with the company and the organization structure.

          How are customer service and support?

          Customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been excellent. We were able to fine-tune most of the queries the customer had without requiring Check Point vendor support. There have been no bugs or formal issues needing vendor support. Check Point has everything in place according to standard policy, including email, phone support, text support, and community support from fellow users. The product has been running smoothly and reliably, so the customer hasn't required any support.

          How would you rate customer service and support?

          Positive

          Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

          Before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, my customer was only using Microsoft Defender.

          How was the initial setup?

          The initial setup with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was straightforward since the customer was well aware of the use cases. We simply needed to fulfill those use cases, which was done easily with documents available in communities and community pages, along with clearly defined documentation on how to address common problems in the system.

          What was our ROI?

          There has been a 70% decrease in phishing emails and data breaches since implementing Check Point Harmony Email Security.

          What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

          The pricing, setup costs, and licensing were competitive and clear for my customer. Everything was well defined with proper SKUs, starting with all the modules they were looking for, including Check Point Email and a web solution.

          Which other solutions did I evaluate?

          My customer evaluated Barracuda and Cisco IronPort before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

          What other advice do I have?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration integrates seamlessly with other cloud services my customer uses, especially with Microsoft O365.

          The metering and billing experience was transparent and easy to manage with an annual contract structure.

          The procurement process was straightforward. After the joint meeting with IT and procurement teams, a consensus was reached among the Check Point call manager, myself, and the customer stakeholder. Price negotiation was completed in a single day, and the PO was released within a week.

          My advice to others considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to have a clear understanding of their requirements. The solution offers numerous services, so potential users should have their use cases prepared. They should conduct a pilot project, demo, or POC aligned with those use cases to determine which services they require. While the tools are managed through a single console, they are priced separately, and advanced features could be costly.

          I rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration 10 out of 10 due to its ease of installation, solution capabilities, integration with other solutions, and Check Point's leading support in Cyber Security. The tool provides an extra layer of security to endpoints and offers proactive protection from cyber threats.

          Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

          Public Cloud

          If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

          Email protection has reduced phishing attacks and now supports reliable cloud-based management
          Pros and Cons
          • "For us, I prefer Check Point before Palo Alto and before other brands because Check Point is most effective in attack mitigation and attack detection."

            What is our primary use case?

            I deal with firewalls, firewall switches, and FortiCloud. Regarding the web application firewall, FortiAppSec Cloud, I have worked on some projects for customers who have switches and firewalls and want to obtain the solution for the management console in the cloud.

            I work with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, and other products from Check Point and firewalls. I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about five years.

            What is most valuable?

            I find the certification for Check Point products most valuable,. Some engineers on my team have obtained Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) and  certification.

            The automated incident response feature by Check Point CloudGuard is a good product. I assess the effectiveness of AI-powered threat intelligence in blocking email threats as a really good addition for new product services because AI is something that most companies and technologies are now working with.

            The way robust inspection technologies have helped safeguard shared files in my collaborative environment depends on the opportunity that the company has with the customer.

            I have noticed a significant impact on phishing attack mitigation with Check Point CloudGuard. For us, I prefer Check Point before Palo Alto and before other brands because Check Point is most effective in attack mitigation and attack detection.

            What needs improvement?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is currently working well, as it is able to detect risks before they occur, unlike Microsoft. We have been able to demonstrate to customers that Check Point can detect a risk that Microsoft overlooked.

            I do not know what additional features I would like to see in the future to make the product even better because this is a good product.

            For how long have I used the solution?

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

            What do I think about the stability of the solution?

            I agree with the way that Check Point is working. I do not have ideas on how to improve it because this is the tool that makes the work and the job correctly.

            What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

            Deployment is easy for the product.

            How are customer service and support?

            I rate the technical support by Check Point as one out of ten because I did not use Check Point support as we had no problems when we deployed the solution. Once the solution was already in production, it worked properly and never failed. To be honest, I have never worked with Check Point support.

            Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

            We have worked with other brands such as Fortinet, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks, as we are a partner company for several brands and specialize in networking and cybersecurity solutions. More than just selling products, we are consultants, so we recommend the brand that best suits our clients' needs. It's possible that someone visited our website looking for information about a specific product.

            How was the initial setup?

            The integration with third-party solutions is straightforward. It is a product that can integrate with another product as well.

            What about the implementation team?

            No, we haven't used other resellers or integrators, because we are a Checkpoint partner and integrator.

            What was our ROI?

            In our region here in Peru, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is not as popular as there are some alternatives which are better known.

            What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

            I am not the person to say what cost Check Point has for their products. However, for partners like us, if we could get some discount or protect our project in front of another competition, that would be great.

            Which other solutions did I evaluate?

            I represent other brands including Check Point and Palo Alto. Several brands are represented by our company because we are more than just the sales boxes of products—we are a consulting company as well. Depending on the customer necessity, we can find a solution for that customer based on what they want, what they need, and the cost that they are able to spend.

            For a small company, I do not think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best fit because small companies are always looking for a cheaper product. However, for medium and larger companies, it is better.

            Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

            Private Cloud

            If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

            Advanced Zero-Day Detection Safeguards Against Phishing and Improves Communication Security

            What is our primary use case?

            The main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is protecting cloud-based communication platforms, such as Microsoft 365, because the company uses these technologies to defend against phishing, malware, and other takeover attacks.

            What is most valuable?

            The best feature of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the zero-day threat prevention. Zero-day threat prevention made a significant impact on my organization. A few months ago, our employees received an email, and threat prevention detected it immediately. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization in terms of security posture and user experience. With Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration technology, I feel safer, and incidents have decreased significantly.

            What needs improvement?

            The interface of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be made easier to use.

            For how long have I used the solution?

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

            What do I think about the stability of the solution?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable. The integration with other clouds is excellent.

            What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is scalable.

            How are customer service and support?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration customer support is excellent.

            How would you rate customer service and support?

            Positive

            What was our ROI?

            I have seen a return on investment with fewer incidents.

            What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

            The pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is standard for this type of app security or security application.

            What other advice do I have?

            In the past, one employee received an email that looked like a legitimate Microsoft Teams notification, prompting them to click a URL to join a meeting, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration flagged the message as a phishing attempt based on behavioral analysis and threat intelligence. The URL was pointing to a spoofed login page designed to steal credentials. The reporting is excellent, and the integration of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent because my company uses Microsoft 365. I would rate this product 9 out of 10.

            Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

            Hybrid Cloud

            If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

            Robust email protection strengthens security posture while saving time

            What is our primary use case?

            The main use case is to provide email security and implement email security for Office 365, integrating with Microsoft Office 365 for incoming and outgoing emails, as well as for lateral movement email and east-west email traffic, which includes internal emails, allowing all these emails to be monitored and inspected by Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

            Integration with Microsoft Office 365 is very straightforward, requiring just a few clicks and global admin credentials of the Microsoft Office account, enabling us to integrate Office 365 in just a few clicks, making it a straightforward process.

            What is most valuable?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers AI-driven inspection of emails, which can scan for malicious traffic, malicious email attachments, phishing links, or phishing mails, and importantly, it provides protection against password-protected files, allowing inspection of email attachments that are password-protected due to its AI-driven features, along with sandboxing capabilities to detect zero-day attacks.

            On the dashboard, I see hundreds of emails that got quarantined due to malicious content, including malicious attachments, phishing mails, or identity impersonation, and these types of malicious mails got quarantined and blocked at the edge.

            By implementing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it has helped the organization protect against malicious emails entering the network, allowing users to browse only clean emails, which has improved the security posture and saved unnecessary time by preventing disruptions in the network, indirectly aiding the organization's growth.

            What needs improvement?

            I would suggest that support for other third-party email service providers would be great because coverage is currently limited to only Office 365 and Google Suite, and expanding support to other email platforms would enhance integration possibilities for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

            For example, some clients are using old legacy email service providers such as IBM Notes, which cannot be integrated with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as it currently only supports Office 365 and Google Suite, thus impacting workflow when needing integration with those other email solutions.

            For how long have I used the solution?

            I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for one year and have implemented Check Point Harmony Email security.

            What do I think about the stability of the solution?

            Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable in my experience.

            What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

            The scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good, as it can integrate SaaS applications and Office 365 very smoothly. I estimate that around 2,000 users in the organization are protected by Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, ensuring they remain safe from phishing mails or any malicious attachments, leading to no further disruptions in the network, which is beneficial for the organization.

            How are customer service and support?

            Customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is quite good.

            I rate customer support nine out of ten because I believe there should be some improvements regarding response time from the OEM.

            How would you rate customer service and support?

            Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

            How was the initial setup?

            The initial setup with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is straightforward and can be completed within less than 15 days, allowing us to perform its POC and get it inline the following week.

            What about the implementation team?

            We have a business relationship with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as we are partners.

            What was our ROI?

            Money is saved because there are no business disruptions, ensuring everything runs smoothly as unwanted malicious attachments and emails are blocked at the perimeter, preventing them from being delivered to users, which allows users to safely browse their emails without problems, thus saving unnecessary time and helping the organization focus on their desired tasks.

            What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

            The experience with pricing and cost is acceptable; Check Point is a little bit expensive compared to other vendors, but the cost justifies itself.

            What other advice do I have?

            I recommend others looking into Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to go with this good solution, keeping the settings on best practices which are already set for all policies by default, and for integration, just need global admin credentials to integrate into Office 365, which is very smooth.

            I rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration 10 out of 10.

            Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

            Public Cloud

            If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
