I've been using the solution for precisely two years.

The solution is stable.

The product is scalable and gives users a great opportunity to replicate as well.

Customer service and support are good.

This is the first time we are using a solution of this kind formally.

The setup was straightforward and easy.

We implemented the product through our in-house team.

The ROI is always better than other alternatives.

Check Point solutions are cost-effective and can be used effortlessly without any hassle. The renewal process for agreement is quite easy and can be done online easily. Licensing is smooth and price affordability is just great and can be recommended to all small and marginal start-up organizations for trial.

A lot of security solutions were evaluated. We evaluated Cyber Protect Cloud, Duo Security, Splunk, etc.

This is a must-have solution for all enterprises. People should try it now.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is the best security software that protects email and collaboration suites in one of the best possible way. It ensures the restriction of threat points and malware in a comprehensive manner. 

All our Google Workspace applications and Office 365 are thoroughly secured by the software. It's been a great experience so far. 

Multiple phishing activities and complete zero-day protection are all ensured through Check Point. 

Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration comes with end-to-end capabilities of system protection in a holistic manner. It is restricting the entry of phishing attacks, malware attacks, and ransomware threats. 

It ensures anti-phishing management effectively and prevents any data loss through encrypted database management. Bulletproof security is one of the best features which enables protection from the most sophisticated and evasive threat attacks. It claims to reduce phishing attempts by almost 100%

Zero-day protection of the cloud and email systems is possible with Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration. It ensures anti-phishing management end to end, and with this product, there can not be any evasive attack of sophisticated malware and threats on the system. 

Data loss and leakage prevention are one of the best features as it ensures no data loss and that all confidential documents and information is secured forever.

Protection of all confidential and sensitive data base (DLP) is secured in the system forever with complete dashboard and data tracking management.

They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management. Their zero-day threat protection can be further strengthened to have better compliance control, as 1% data loss and data breaches are still possible through existing systems. Even this 1% carries the potential to harm the system for a long time. 

We should have more and more pilots of security systems across different business environments to have 100% security checks and compliance.

It's been using the solution for about a year now.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We did not use a different solution. We started using this solution recently and have been happy with the experience so far.

The setup was easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor team.

We've seen an ROI of over 80%.

The setup cost is significantly low and quite affordable currently as per other competitive software. Also, the renewal and licensing process is streamlined and not complicated at all.

We evaluated a lot of alternatives simultaneously. Some of them included ESET Protect, Forcepoint DLP, Sentinel, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security, among others.

I'd advise new users to go for a trial of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration software and use it to its fullest to understand the capabilities at its best practices.

Our goal has always been to strengthen our infrastructure. We currently have Microsoft 365. In order to provide a centralized security solution, we use Checkpoint Harmony Email, which provides us with security against phishing attacks, malware, and advanced data protection, among others. Some other features that successfully help provide a robust security infrastructure for all collaborative applications.

It is also important to mention that it is managed under the Check Point Infinity Portal, which is the most modern of the Check Point approaches.

We have managed to implement this as a totally cloud tool, from the Check Point Infinity Portal. It's super easy. In addition, we have managed to generate DLP policies for the protection of data that is shared to avoid sensitive losses and compliance with regulations.

Also, through the monitoring panel we have been able to see the behavior of our environment and how it is attacked by new threats. We can make decisions to improve our infrastructure thanks to Harmony Email.

Check Point Harmony Email tool is very modern. Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats. One of its main virtues is its monitoring system, which is very important for decision-making, however, it is also very intuitive, easy to understand, and simple to use.

Its DLP policies are quite easy to implement, which help a lot with compliance with the regulations required by our company in addition to shielding sensitive data.

This tool integrates and protects all collaborative tools, in our case, Microsoft 365.

The key improvement for this tool is the inclusion of more collaborative applications. We know that Microsoft has many tools, however, not all of them are covered.

It is also important to validate the documentation. Not all of it is precise. It is very difficult to find the correct ones. In this area, Check Point could generate a more up-to-date library to be able to help customers or companies use their products more.

Finally, the Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix.

A very modern tool, centralized through Check Point Infinity, this is used by our company on a trial basis during the last semester.

Yes

Yes

Great experience with support.

Positive

Previously, we used Microsoft security tools. However, we needed to centralize the security environments, and it was perfect with Infinity.

It is important to evaluate the tools before going into production to verify that everything works correctly.

We carried out a previous validation of the functions and current tools of the market. It convinced us to move towards Check Point.

Security applications are validated and I would recommend the solution.

Our company uses Office 365 and clearly, we use Outlook. We needed a tool that had the functionality to verify and validate the emails that enter and leave our organization. With this tool, we can solve security problems since many of the collaborators work from home. With this, we have decreased phishing attacks. It offers quite a few types of analysis and reporting that help to clear up security doubts and how to counter these gaps.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is workload protection in the cloud. This firewall helps us provide controls on our organization's devices and has become our main tool in the analysis and coverage of the infrastructure and also maintains fairly reasonable scalability.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped our company with perimeter security and securing our employees from wherever they are working. It's strengthening security as it is able to stop phishing attacks on Office 365 accounts and block possible account hijacking. It is also responsible for detecting malicious files in both OneDrive and SharePoint. This makes the product more robust and also gives us visibility into suspicious access, and provides the areas from which they are trying to enter. With this other feature, it provides more integrity to our company.

We have found several features that are very valuable. One of them is the integration with Office365. In addition to that, it is fast and has a very simple, easy integration. In addition to that, it integrates with other Office 365 products. The false positives are minimal, almost nil. That is very important since it will not generate an absurd amount of emails. The functionality of the tool is very easy to configure and manage. The platform is friendly and makes its integrations even more, so this tool is very efficient.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration presents a problem similar to the other Check Point tools that it was able to manage, and that is the access to its administrative functions. Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult. 

It presents problems in the management of technical support since the SLA is not optimal, causing delays. This means that security problems may arise since it does not provide a quick response or a concrete solution.

I have been using it for approximately 4 years.

The tool stability is very good.

The scalability that the solution presents is very good. It is quite scalable.

The experience has not been very pleasant since we have opened cases and they take too much time to respond or schedule a meeting even to provide a solution.

Positive

There was no other solution implemented.

The initial configuration was very simple and fast.

During the implementation, the provider's team helped us, and it was very efficient; they knew what they were doing

The functionality that the tool presents with its characteristics and capabilities helped us a lot in our organization.

Like all security tools, they are expensive tools. However, Check Point competes in the market and its accessibility is good, so paying for a tool that provides security is worth it.

The company has already had several Check Point tools. For this reason, this tool was implemented to keep in line with the same brand and hopefully not present us with problems if we implement another one.

The only advice is to improve the technical support for your users since it is not very efficient.

We use the solution for the protection of email from phishing attacks, spam, and malicious email-related activities. 

It detects and blocks the most advanced phishing attacks across inbound, outbound, and internal communications, in real-time, before the attack succeeds.  

The solution is used for email protection, providing IT administrators with a great amount of information about possible attacks faced by the organization, and logins by users. 

It also has a high level of detail in its reports, facilitating the management and detection of possible threats to the security of the organization.

With the addition of the DMARC module, it makes it much easier to monitor the security policies applied and provides visual information about the type of traffic received, avoiding domain spoofing.

The number of phishing and spam emails has decreased and email security has improved by 80%. The IT team has noticed a great improvement in the number of emails received and a decrease in attacks. The helpful alerts generated by HEC facilitate the management and response. 

Thanks to its dashboard, it displays detailed information about detected activities, suspicious logins, span deletions, or phishing detected and blocked with a high level of detail. The level of reporting detail facilitates threat management; now the organization has an additional layer of protection for end users.

The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent. Thanks to its dashboard, the most valuable thing is the detection capability provided by this solution. The level of detail offered by Harmony is unique, to the point of showing the differences between what is detected by Office 365 and what is detected by HEC. The organization relies on this email security solution and facilitates the protection of all end users, decreasing security breaches by malicious actors.

The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter. It could be improved to obtain a greater level of detail, unlike Office 365, which offers an extreme level of detail and facilitates the management and comparison of what is happening with respect to the mail. Its integration with Gsuite is simpler and has that point against it, however high levels of detail can be obtained in the reports of the solution. On the other hand, the ease of administration and threat detection capabilities are its strong points, and it stands out from other solutions that I have had the opportunity to test before.

Currently, this solution has been used for the last tree years.

We use the solution for SaaS protection for 10,000 Gsuite users. How collaborators process data with sensitive information and information leaks was a constant concern. The collaboration solution allows you to have visibility of the entire SaaS environment and create customized security profiles to give optimal treatment to the information. This solution allows you to have very granular visibility at all times; this is of utmost importance as it allows you to make immediate and precise decisions about the security environment.

This solution has allowed us to have visibility of the security environment for the business and has allowed us to have specific treatment by users, user groups, and departments of the information that is processed. This allows users to be certain that their information is protected. Certain security problems were detected. Without this solution at the SaaS level would have been impossible to detect so there has been an improvement in the treatment of the attack surface and the protection of valuable data.

There are several features that were considered valuable. For example, the fact that the installation and integration of the solution with SaaS tools were very fast and highly recognized by SaaS administrators. I like the fact that having granular information about the potential threats is received in email. Being able to protect information repositories was of great interest to decision-makers. It was also possible to implement an entire environment in record time. Having this information allowed us to better model the attacking surface.

They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment). 

Reports should be presented in such a way that they are readable by non-technical work groups who are involved in information protection and who may misread the information on the dashboard and make incorrect decisions.

I've used the solution for four months.

The product is very stable; it is a cloud solution and we have not had any operational incidents.

The solution is very scalable since you only have to add licenses.

They offer good support; you have several support options depending on the SLA you need.

Positive

The setup is very straightforward and very fast; it took about 20 minutes.

The setup involved a mix of personnel and Check Point SE are experts in the area of ​​security.

The setup was very fast; the license scheme was very easy to understand.

We also evaluated the PAN solution and Fortinet.

I consider it to be a cost-effective solution that focuses on security and is a highly recommended and easy-to-use option.

Basically, it protects email services like Office 365 or G-Suite as well as business communication like Slack and Teams, and offers advanced protection against phishing and attachments even before they reach the mailbox. It also includes a DLP (Data Loss Prevention) feature that can be configured to prevent sensitive information from leaving the organization via email. Additionally, it provides advanced security measures to protect against account takeover. 

The email protection piece utilizes an API rather than an agent, which is more basic. This API-based approach allows for greater flexibility and integration with other systems. You can also configure it to send suspicious items to a sandbox environment for further analysis if you're not comfortable relying solely on the automated solution.

The API is super valuable because it's not really embedded in the email session. It's more like it comes in, and before it hits your mailbox, Check Point inspects it.

Many products require running it through a specific Web Gateway or some kind of intermediate box like Barracuda, or an agent installed on Outlook among many ways. Check Point is more advanced, so it's up there with the best. In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication. It also covers collaboration tools like OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box. That's the collaboration part.

It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products. For example, there are other collaboration tools besides Box and Slack that they could explore.

The stability is excellent. Check Point is a company that has acquired matured technology from other companies and integrated it pretty well. I've seen integrations from other companies that were lacking, but Check Point has done a great job. 

Check Point has also developed its own solutions based on its security knowledge and experience. Being an Israeli company, they have access to some of the best resources in the field. 

Scalability is a significant component of Check Point, as it is built for companies of any size.

The customer service and support team is great. I never had a problem with them.

Positive

I used to work as an IT manager in a biotech company that utilized Check Point, which is why I've always liked their product. It's designed for complex environments and connecting multiple branches. It can be challenging for many companies, but it's intended to handle such complexities. Overall, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great product.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's actually quite easy to set up and configure because the system handles everything. You don't have to install anything separately. You install the agent for the whole solution, and you can choose to enable or disable the email component. Then you simply configure a few settings, and you're done. The real action happens in how it handles incoming emails.

The security solutions of which Email and Collaboration are a part is competitive because Check Point competes on both technology and price.

Check Point often competes with companies like Microsoft, Sophos, and CrowdStrike. Check Point offers competitive prices. Some companies may advertise lower prices, but they exclude essential components like email security or browser security, which you need to pay extra for and in the end they cost the same or even more. 

So the pricing is highly competitive. It's comparable to other companies of the same caliber, such as Microsoft and CrowdStrike. However, with all of them, if you opt for managed services, the pricing can vary, becoming more of a black box. It's usually not publicly published and is often negotiated based on specific needs. Similar to storage pricing, you need to be aware of the details and negotiate. But overall, the pricing is excellent and on par with other leading solutions. 

When comparing Check Point with lesser-known products like Kaspersky and others, it's important to consider the target market. If you're dealing with multinational corporations, or hospital systems, their requirements differ, from smaller companies, and they may be considering solutions from SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Sophos, or Cylance, however, you have to make sure the product offers all the specific components like email or browser security that Check Point provides. Check Point is known for its comprehensive range of solutions, including firewalls, which can be deployed to endpoints.

I would give it a nine out of ten. It's a great product overall. I hesitate to give any company a perfect ten because there's always a chance of unexpected issues arising in the future. But so far, I haven't encountered any problems with Check Point. It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products. For example, there are other collaboration tools besides Box and Slack that they could explore.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration has enabled my team to implement projects and tasks effectively. 

It provides a reliable communication pathway that cannot be compromised by cyber attacks. 

It protects confidential data from leaving an organization without a proper channel. It keeps our emails in a unified environment that is secure and highly safeguarded by strong security tools. 

There are advanced collaboration techniques enhanced by this platform in the enterprise. It prevents account takeover and always keeps my colleagues under safe network infrastructure.

Email security has improved since we deployed this platform. 

This platform has enhanced faster file sharing and improved the collaboration network systems.

Bulletproof Security catches up with all types of cyber attacks that can lead to account takeover and data compromisation. The entire networking system is secured with end-to-end encryption that enhances the secure flow of data. 

The superior data catch rate has reduced phishing attacks by a high rate of almost 100%, which has boosted productivity. 

It blocks malicious emails that wreak havoc and destroy valuable data in the systems. 

Employees can focus on more productive roles without fear of being attacked by external factors.

Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization. 

The next release should have a fixed system that can categorize the various levels of viruses. 

The detection of threats before they reach inboxes has enhanced reliable communication among teams. 

The malware protection system has to be upgraded to catch up with various current threats that can easily affect our systems without precautions. 

Email and collaboration safety has been a great step that we have achieved from the performance of this platform, and I totally recommend it to others.

I've used the solution for 12 months.

This tool is highly powerful in blocking phishing attacks and ransomware attacks.

I love the great performance of this platform.

The customer support staff provides reliable services.

Positive

This is the main email and collaboration platform that I have worked with.

The setup was straightforward.

The implementation was done by the vendor.

The rate of ROI has increased from 40% to 60%.

The setup cost is good and highly efficient.

I have not come across another powerful platform like this one.

I am satisfied with the security measures that have been enhanced by this tool.
