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

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.

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.

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

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Its scalability is also effective.

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

I did not previously use a different solution.

Time saved and fewer incidents are the relevant metrics for return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been positive, and I feel the price is great with no problems.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great security tool that is very fast and very easy to deploy. I give it an excellent recommendation. I have rated this review nine out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

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

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

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

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.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is because I use Microsoft 365 and need to integrate with a great tool for security in order to protect email and other collaboration tools, such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, from phishing, malware, and other account takeover attacks.

In the past, when a user copied a file into SharePoint that had malware and shared this file with other users, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against this problem.

In our organization, we rely heavily on Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for cross-department projects, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects internal file sharing and collaboration across multiple departments by automatically scanning shared files and links before they are accessed by colleagues, preventing malware from spreading internally if someone unknowingly uploads a compromised document.

The best feature that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers for me is the zero-day threat prevention because it uses sandboxing, and I am driving analysis to catch unknown threats that traditional email and email security means miss.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been a game changer for our team because sandboxing and zero-day prevention have helped us, and one specific example is a targeted phishing campaign where attackers tried to deliver malicious Excel files with embedded macros; traditionally, those types of files might slip past basic email filters, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration sandboxing detonated the file in a virtual environment, detected the malicious behavior, and blocked it before it reached the user's inbox.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a very positive impact on our organization across security, workflows, and user experience, for example, workflow improvements, as employees spend less time second-guessing suspicious emails because Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration automatically blocks phishing attempts and malicious attachments.

I notice time saved because the technical support team has more time for other activities in the organization with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration active.

The documentation is a little unintuitive, and I make an additional effort for the first deployment.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around four or five years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very scalable, especially when I use different tools in the Infinity Portal.

I find customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be very great.

I would rate customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as a nine.

Positive

Integrating Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration with our existing systems and tools is easy because of native cloud integration; for example, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration connects directly with Microsoft 365, so we didn't need to install additional gateways or agents, which made the initial deployment much easier.

I have seen a return on investment in the support department, particularly regarding the time saved.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great because the pricing is normal compared with other tools in the market.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great opportunity for saving your emails and your collaboration tools with the best tool for security. I rate this solution a nine.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Deployment is easy for the product.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is scalable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration customer support is excellent.

Positive

I have seen a return on investment with fewer incidents.

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

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.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to protect email against all zero-day threats, compromised QR codes, other malicious account attachments, and more.

I do not have anything else to add about how I use it at present.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers in my experience are unified quarantine, account takeover protection, and de-fishing.

Unified quarantine and de-fishing have made managing threats easier and saved our time also.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization, as I have noticed fewer security issues now, and that makes productivity increase also.

The productivity boost has shown itself in my day-to-day work as around a 20% boost in productivity.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved with better integration with third-party solutions.

I do not wish for it to work better with a specific third-party tool or platform, and I do not want to add more about the needed improvements.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good.

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

I would rate the customer support an eight on a scale of one to ten.

Positive

I previously used a different solution, which was Cisco, and I chose Check Point for better security.

The initial setup with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was a little complex.

I have seen a return on investment, as I can share relevant metrics like money saved, time saved, and fewer employees needed, all of them.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been all good.

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

My advice to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to go for it. It's a good solution.

I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration an eight out of ten overall because if it was a little less complex, it would make it a ten for me.

My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review.

I do not have any additional thoughts about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as of now.

We use lots of other tech products such as Cisco, Fortinet, and all.

The use cases include anti-spam and anti-phishing. We have Email Collaboration for the anti-spam solution and anti-phishing solution. It’s a very good platform because every day, we block about 1,000 to 5,000 batch emails with malware, spam, etc. So for our business, it’s very important to have this platform, this solution, because it helps us very well with all email.

I have only a few features, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and DLP for a use case. It’s a very good platform. I tried all the models, all the features in this platform, and it works very well.

The  pricing could be improved, because when I first bought it, it was cheaper than it is now. And the first time, I had more features than the trial license. It’s more costly now, but I have fewer features.

I have been using it for about four years. 

For the years we’ve worked with the product, we haven’t had downtime.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

Our company has around 2,000 users. It is in the retail industry. 

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. 

We can make a ticket directly to the Check Point pack. It’s a great function. We don’t wait for customer support because customer requires collaboration, and it’s truly the case. 

If the customer doesn’t have a fixed mistake in the platform, they need to escalate to Check Point. But I can escalate directly to Check Point for any support or consultation. So it’s very good.

Positive

I tried Cisco.  I tried with Office 365. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great solution compared to these other companies because it’s more intuitive. I can see attacks in real-time. 

The solution blocks all the malware and phishing emails. The percent of failures is maybe 1%. So 99% of phishing, spam, or malware is blocked with the Harmony solution.

The initial setup is easy. It  is because it’s in the cloud. So we need to integrate Harmony with Microsoft Office 365, and it works. Maybe in three minutes to one hour, it works very well. We needed to make policies and collaborate with users, but it was very easy.

The implementation and the resolution took one test.

We had two people, the customer and me, and maybe another person, but three people maximum is enough for the deployment process. 

Maintenance  is from Check Point. So we don’t need to do anything. It’s a great platform for maintenance. Check Point notifies us, so we need to do maintenance on the platform, and we’re okay with that. We’re good. We don’t need to do anything on the platform.

We don’t need to do anything on the platform.

The cost is a little bit expensive.

I recommend using this platform because it makes policies and email integrations with Office 365 very easy. You can integrate Microsoft Teams with Sharepoint and OneDrive, and you can protect these clouds.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

We use the product to address core, perimeter, and administrative security requirements for firewalls within our environment. Additionally, we cater to email security requirements for clients using both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 platforms.

The product's most valuable features for email security are its ability to safeguard domain names, detect duplicate email users, and identify spam emails impersonating legitimate email IDs, thereby enhancing overall security. It also has a robust filtering system.

It's very easy to use, and the onboarding process is straightforward. We can easily categorize users, create groups, and apply policies accordingly, simplifying policy management for different user groups within an organization.

In India, pricing is a concern, especially for SMEs. Check Point needs to address the pricing segment for SMEs. Apart from that, the technology and other aspects like sales and marketing are satisfactory.

Most OEMs provide similar capabilities. If any OEM introduces new features, Check Point must match those capabilities. It could improve by offering an on-premise solution for customers still using Microsoft Exchange, which currently provides only cloud-based services.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about a year. We directly sell the latest version to customers, including SMEs, enterprises, and SMBs.

The product is stable. We have yet to encounter technical or deployment issues. My team is comfortable working with the solution due to its reliability and the prompt assistance that Check Point's support team provides. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have 35,000 Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration users, covering all three segments: small, medium, and enterprise.

It is a scalable product and meets the evolving business needs. Their communication and understanding of customer requirements make deploying and scaling the solution easy. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

We have yet to encounter many technical issues, but Check Point's support team has been responsive and helpful whenever required.

Positive

We completed ten deployments, including the installation and setup, in one week. Overall, it takes around seven days to complete. It involves collecting information from the customer about the number of users and the email services they use. The onboarding process is easy and takes one to two hours, followed by policy creation based on customer requirements.

I rate the process a nine out of ten.

The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment in India. On average, it's around 10,00,000 to 15,00,000 lakh rupees for 200 users per year. Additional costs depend on the customer and their requirements.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

I suggest conducting a proof of concept (POC) before purchasing the product. Customers will likely find it reliable and effective after analyzing it for 10 to 15 days.

I rate it a seven out of ten.
