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

With the evolution of technologies, attacks also evolve. This is why we need to secure mail. We have chosen to include Harmony Email in our Office 365 mail solution to thus proactively ensure any incident that we may have in the future is dealt with. It gives us complete security support from anywhere. Wherever our users are, the solution will always be protecting them. 

Like any company, we care about security and having exposure to various clients and departments. We can be violated or have identity theft attempts, and this is where Check Point Harmony Email (and its computing power that is integrated from the Check Point cloud) comes in. It gives us the protection and analysis, to help us avoid phishing attacks and malware. By integrating solutions such as DLP, we can protect our identity and data. 

Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure.

One of the best features is the analysis and emulation carried out with each file attached to the emails, which makes each of the deliveries we make via email more secure. This function creates a scalable sandboxing where a copy of the file under analysis is made, and it is verified, scanned, and analyzed to each of our files for malicious links. If it finds a link, it emulates its action to determine if it is benign or malignant to deliver clean and safe data.

Something worth mentioning is the need for Spanish language support and better representation for teams in the Latin American area. There is a growing demand for these IT services and new technologies.

Its guides are not great. It would be more pleasing if these guides could be updated and improved in their design. 

The support that most requires attention is the phone calls or the cases through the support page. Several times, through the chat function, we found that it gets stuck and does not bring up the live chat.

I've used the solution for around two years.

The solution is very easy to scale.

There is a need for more support in Spanish. 

We did not previously use a different solution. 

It is quick to configure. The advantage is that it does not need us to install an agent on the machines. Everything is done from the administrators' consoles. 

We did not previously evaluate other options. 

It is a simple tool and centralizes its administration. Being able to request a POC from Check Point is a good opportunity that will give new users an opportunity to assess the quality and security capacity that it can provide. 

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 preventing malicious emails that we're getting through Google's built-in spam filters. The amount of spam and phishing had greatly increased at our organization and we needed a solution implemented fast. 

Check Point was really quick to integrate and implement and instantly started providing value. The reporting we got during our trial helped to quantify the value to the executive team, in particular, the report that shows what Check Point caught items that Google's spam filters would've let through.

The amount of spam and phishing getting through to end users has reduced drastically. 

We are also now able to advertise how many malicious emails we get and how it is constantly increasing as we grow. This shows our users how valuable a solution like this is and they appreciate that sometimes it may get a false positive. 

We're abe to show to users why emails are quarantined - which has helped to train them on what to look out for if they do receive a suspicious email. We have also improved our reporting process and notifications to admins.

First and foremost, Check Point's ability to detect malicious emails and the filters they put in place are a big improvement on the built-in Google Workspace solution. 

Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size. Admins can be notified as soon as a suspicious email arrives in bulk mailboxes and can act extremely quickly. This has even helped us to notify partners that they had been breached before they knew themselves.

There are a few features that are more geared towards Microsoft users rather than Google, for example, user-reported phishing. It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time. 

We appreciate that Microsoft has the larger market share, and Check Point has been improving its Google integration. However, more advancements would be appreciated. That being said, the "What Google wouldn't have caught" report was extremely valuable to us in showing value. 

I've used the solution for nine months.

We evaluated other solutions, such as Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Abnormal.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration allows me to monitor the activities in the environment. I can check if there are any phishing or spam emails with its efficient reporting features.

It's been an awesome experience working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment. It gives me insights into the number of tools required to block malicious websites. 

We have to invest a lot of effort in filtering the spam emails. They have not updated any category for phishing or spam emails. There could be more automation features included for it. It will help me with feedback for unusual activities.

We have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for four months. At present, we are using the latest version.

The platform is stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

The platform is scalable. I rate its scalability an eight and a half.

The product’s initial setup process is more straightforward as I am Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration partner and have the necessary training. It takes less than ten minutes to complete.

The product’s price is very high. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten.

I recommend Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

This platform protects collaboration and email infrastructure from ransomware attacks. 

It helps departments to communicate efficiently and exchange files without any fear. 

It blocks phishing attacks before they reach the inbox. 

Email security has accelerated growth and stimulated new innovative ideas that can boost productivity. Bringing all the teams together has improved teamwork and cooperation among the employees. We deployed this software to enhance effective team coordination and promote secure networking infrastructure.

The organization has greatly benefited from the strong security measures implemented by this software. 

The capability to block malicious emails from reaching inboxes has helped members to exchange secure messages that cannot spread viruses and lead to delays. 

The comprehensive security measures have enabled members to focus on more productive duties without fear of being attacked. 

The entire supply chain is secured with end-to-end encryption that unauthorized third parties cannot compromise.

The software detects sensitive data that can leak confidential information and stops it immediately from leaving the organization. 

Machine Learning and AI for email security have helped all the organization's members to guard their information against insecure exposure. 

The high-grade email security protection features have blocked many attempts from ransomware attacks. 

Collaboration in a secure environment has been one of the greatest dreams we have longed for, with support from all the enterprise members.

The set collaboration and email security features have been stable since we deployed this software. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration cost is high, and the deployment process may take longer in a new environment. 

It blocks secure communication if the settings are not well set and defined for a given time frame. 

The most set objectives have been achieved with this leading anti-phishing platform that helps to keep the entire organization safe. 

It has prevented account takeover and created the best infrastructure for sharing files and data. 

After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities. 

It is not easy to establish the number of computers that have access to this network.

I've used the solution for eight months.

This platform is highly stable and offers an enhanced secure collaboration infrastructure.

The comprehensive email security provision has impressed the teams.

The customer service team has always offered the best support services.

Positive

I have no experience with other related software.

The setup was straightforward.

Implementation was done through the vendor.

ROI stands at 45% - currently up from 30%.

The setup cost and set budgets are suitable for most businesses-level enterprises.

I evaluated different solutions, however, we decided to settle on Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration due to its efficiency.

I am impressed by the overall performance of this software.

We had the need for a solution that would allow us to integrate search and analysis into the different mail clouds. This allowed us to focus on features that were very important, such as avoiding the loss of data and content. Thanks to the search, analysis, and integration functionalities, we could integrate easily with the cloud that we have. The product gave us a greater ability to search and explore issues while minimally invasive to end users.

Checkpoint Harmony Email and Collaboration is one of the cloud solutions for email that has given us the most added value. It has allowed for the education of users while still keeping them protected in a non-invasive way. When configuring this solution, we have not needed to come and affect management in terms of the day-to-day tasks handled by the users. It is a solution that is directly configured at the service level, not at the user level, so it's quick to install and configure, allowing connectors through APIs that can block malicious emails before they reach the inbox. It is acting as a full replacement for data loss analysis and management issues.

Harmony email has many interesting features. Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud. It gives 100% protection and is something that is a failsafe. There are no errors. Having an app-based solution that detects everything that is lost helps ensure reliability. It is quite complete, and it integrates with emulation solutions. If an email is ever compromised, you can detect the issue, find out what happened, and protect the company. It is a very complete solution.

The solution really has many outstanding features. It is quite easy to install and configure and is very complete. 

We could analyze services such as SharePoint and have more seamless integration. They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties. That would be very helpful. Right now, we do not have complete analysis when it comes to analyzing and detecting all the data that is saved. Having a product that could sweep repositories would be great.

I've used the solution for about a year and two months.

All of Harmony Email & Collaboration's features are valuable.

Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level.

I've been using Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year.

Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Check Point's technical support is very good.

Positive

We previously used McAfee Endpoint.

I would recommend Harmony Email & Collaboration to other users and rate it eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for Office 365 email security along with other Office 365 products like SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive. As people are working from home over the last year and phishing attacks are increasing day by day, it is important to implement an email security solution into an environment. Microsoft itself provides security, but that is not sufficient and we have still received a number of malicious emails.

We are looking for a solution that supports API-based integration so that there is no need to re-route email traffic via some third-party solutions. 

Protection is also required as people share files, store documents, etc.

After the implementation of the solution, email phishing is stopped and gives complete visibility.

No manual intervention is required once the policy is defined.

Now, all office documents are protected and we have also started to take backups of our user data into a cloud which will improve the dependency of other backup solutions.

API-based integration does not increase the email latency and it's an important aspect.

The single solution provides protection of other cloud applications such as G-suite, Slack, G-Drive, etc.

It reduces the TCO of email security.

API-based integration is the most valuable aspect as it will not degrade the email delivery features.

UBA is one of the features which monitors the user behavior and takes actions accordingly.

The product blocks malicious attachments before reaching out to user mailboxes while not impacting business productivity.

We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP).

We can block sophisticated social engineering attacks such as impersonation, zero-day phishing, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) using AI-trained engines.

It is one of the best solutions for cloud-based email security. Almost all features are available, which is required by most organizations. Still, some other features could be added to create more advantages, such as integration with on-premises exchange integration with other SaaS clouds. 

Integration with other threat clouds and AI engines would be helpful.

A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module.

Publishing future roadmaps would help us understand what to expect. 

The product should offer integration with other SIEM tools.

Improvement is a key element of any product and Check Point is doing improvements very effectively - therefore there are no major concerns. 

We have been using the solution for 8+ months.

It's a stable solution and does not impact performance. 

It's a highly scalable and simple product.

Customer support is good.

Check Point is much simpler than other options and offers support with other cloud products - a key advantage.

It's a straightforward setup and the product is easy to implement.

The initial setup was done by OEM and the rest I handled myself.

Email security gives good ROI in terms of tools and the support of other cloud features. 

The product has a simple and easy to set up. The initial setup is critical - so plan it accordingly. Email is one of the key components of any organization, so implement it with proper planning.

We tested several solutions, including Cisco IronPort and Darktrace.

It is a good solution and easy to implement in any organization.

As users of Office 365, we are using CloudGuard SaaS to protect this cloud application. We knew that to do so, we would need a very good solution. CloudGaurd SaaS prevents malware and zero-day attacks/threats from attacking our SaaS users.

We have 17k+ users and all of them are using Office 365 for email. That's the reason we have implemented the Check Point CloudGuard SaaS solution. We needed protection, and it is working fine as per our requirement.

When we moved from an on-premises email solution to Office 365, we no longer had protection against malware or zero-day level attacks. With this SaaS, we prevent these problems, and also, we protect our users against phishing attacks, identity theft, have DLP support, and even SaaS shadow IT discovery protection.

We can say that with Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS, we have improved our security to the next level. Our users and business are more secure, and overall, this is a very impressive solution for us.

If you have Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS solution in place, 90% to 95% of the work in protecting your system is complete. There are some additional features that also help including Zero Day, Phasing, Identity Protection, and DLP, which provides us additional protection for our users.

This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection.

We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive.

We are using Check Point CloudGuard SaaS for the last four to five months.

Stability-wise, this is a good product.

We have more than 17,000 users and have not faced any issue from a scalability point of view

The cost of this product huge and it should be lowered because all organizations are going to be using cloud services. If it were more affordable then more organizations can rely on it to make them secure.

This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive.

As per current threats or malware behaviors, most of the attacks or viruses are coming from email only, and if you have no such solution to protect or prevent it then you are in big trouble.

Overall, this is a good product and it has very little we have found that needs to improve.
