I have not used another solution.

The setup was not complex.

It was deployed by the vendor.

ROI has been positive since we deployed it and has highly improved from 15% to 35%.

The setup and cost have been good from my experience, and I recommend it to other organizations.

I did not find any other effective platforms like this one.

This is a great product with high-performance features.

At the moment, we're heavily using the email and collaboration features. We are also licensed for the mobile part, which we are sort of working into, and CloudGuard as well. We're kind of working through those features. 

The implementation could definitely be better. We had great support from Check Point, but there were some "got-you" moments where we got surprises as we were setting it up. When Check Point talks about it, it's all "plug and play," but it's not really one of those platforms where you can just jump in and click a few buttons and everything works. You need to have a bit of knowledge about what you're doing and it's a bit more complicated than they advertise.

In the future I would like to see something similar to what Proofpoint has, where users can actually go in and make the call to release their own emails. We've got a small number of users, so it's okay for the IT team to constantly be bombarded with our emails for releasing, but I would love to have an option where I can allow users to go in and make the call to release an email, and then of course it would only actually be released if it passes certain things.

I have been using this solution for about a year and a half now. 

The solution is stable and I think it does a fantastic job. The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic. There's a few things that get flagged by Microsoft, most of them false positives, so it's interesting. Harmony passes it through and Microsoft thinks it's spam, but usually it's not.

The solution is very easy to scale. There are between 500-550 active users in our company. We have a team of three people that look after the environment, but that is only part of their responsibilities. I think it would do very well with one full-time person handling the maintenance. 

The technical support was brilliant, but that's the thing when you're buying something, usually the initial support is top notch. It's been a year and a half now, and we haven't had any urgent technical issues that we've had to go back for help with, but at the start, when we were implementing the solution, we had good support. They were on the ball and they really stepped up.

What we used in the past was an outfit called MSX.

Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money. 

We considered the Microsoft inbuilt solution, and the advice that we got from a lot of people was, if you want to use that one, combine it with something else. That is what we ended up doing, because it came as part of our licensing with 365, but we can tell that it was a good idea to combine it with Check Point because it will let a lot of things pass.

Also, I know CrowdStrike is cheaper with their Falcon offering, but I haven't had the opportunity to work with it. The reason why I went with Check Point was because I have worked with it in the past and I like their product, so that was the biggest push. 

I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten. 

We acquired Check Point Harmony to protect our email environment in Office 365. In general terms, the false positives rate has stayed low, and detection rates and successful threat preventions have increased. It filters malicious emails, cleans documents, and effectively prevents phishing attacks. These processes happening in the cloud give peace of mind that the protective actions are taking place before they reach the endpoint, making it safer and adding layers of protection key to keeping the network safe.

A lot of these attacks and malware now come hidden in ways we expect the least, and since we never think we'll be targets of a cyber attack, this makes us vulnerable to them. Check Point Harmony gives us great visibility of the threats we are being exposed to, where they are coming from and what were they targeting, giving visibility of the weak gateways that could lead to an infection or a leakage. Management is easy, and integration is too, support is good, and the steps followed to set it up were very simple.

The previous solution we had for email protection required a lot of investment from us, both money and time-wise. 

The software is easy to deploy and maintain, and the administration and operation of it require very few interventions from the IT team. 

The solution also integrates amazingly with our network's server environment for collaboration and email apps. The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great.

We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected. We've seen clean emails being blocked, thanks to this. 

There are some delays when applying new administrative functions. Sometimes going through the documentation is complex and can be a bit confusing; reporting from the dashboard could get some improvements, too. However, in general, we feel satisfied with Email and Collaboration as it delivers the expected results regarding threat prevention. 

I've used the solution for more than three years.

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. 

Positive

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 corporate environment requires business protection for email and our collaboration tools to avoid threats, spam, and ransomware, among other threats coming in through email. This could have great effects on our systems and equipment.

With Check Point, we can protect our data in the cloud with tools such as One Drive, among others.

The tool works with different manufacturers, which provides great reliability.

Check Point has helped us improve our security layer with this complete cloud solution. We no longer depend on a Gateway as it is a complete solution that helps us prevent any type of threat that travels through email.

We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point.

We also really like its centralized environment since the Check Point Infinity Portal really centralizes everything.                 

The platform offers advanced security measures to protect emails from cyber threats such as phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware.

The platform is cloud-based, which means users can access their emails and collaboration tools from anywhere and on any device.

The security of collaboration tools is great.

The platform integrates with other productivity and collaboration tools like Microsoft Office, Slack, and Zoom.

Maybe they could integrate the solution with Avanan. Doing that would really make it a very robust solution.

They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response.

The solution lacks public documentation and some documentation is not so clear, which means that the client does not understand the implementation that must be carried out.

You can only see the costs through a Check Point partner.                           

This is a very productive tool. We used it for a few months. It really helped us protect against threats in email and Microsoft collaborative tools.

yes

excellent

Positive

Previously we did not use more than the security provided by Microsoft itself. We have since changed to Check Point.

As for the cost, it is per protected user. It seems good to me in that aspect however, the issue of implementation sometimes costs a bit. That's okay if it can be done correctly. The licenses are easy to acquire.

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.
