Sharing of documentation is easier now. However, there is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use.
Pros and Cons
  • "It is the collaboration between users inside the company. It is a big advantage with Check Point to be able to work together on the same document."
  • "There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."

What is our primary use case?

We used it to replace the old Lotus Notes application with a full deployment of the Check Point Suite. So, it is more of an Office 365 and Check Point combined deployment, so we had a full ecosystem around Office 365 with Check Point, Outlook and all the different applications available. The idea was to replace old applications based on Notes as a base.

How has it helped my organization?

It is a little bit new, but the sharing of documentation is clearly easier now. It is easier to work within your teams using the Check Point solution so you can easily share a file without sending it by mail. This is an advantage, being able to work on the same document in a work group.

What is most valuable?

It is the collaboration between users inside the company. It is a big advantage with Check Point to be able to work together on the same document.

What needs improvement?

I would like some features that manage projects in more flexible ways, like smart chips. It would be very interesting to share tasks in a very flexible way inside a team or to reorganize planning for a certain project in a very collaborative way. Either integrating or developing something in Check Point to enable flexible project management with smart chips would be easy to use and quite powerful.

There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful.

Learn what your peers think about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: October 2025.
872,019 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

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

We were using Notes before, but it was quite obsolete. The idea was to replace it with something new, in the cloud, so this was our main objective around the Check Point and Office 365 deployment.

What other advice do I have?

It is a major concern for us is to give people enough knowledge to use the product in the proper way. Now it is more about training and management as we have to organize to make sure that everybody is onboard and using the tool in the correct way.

It is always good to compare with different solutions available on the market. This is a Microsoft solution so you are linked with a lot of tools for the integrations, and your integrations with your current landscape are key. An assessment on the different competitors in the market is very relevant for this type of choice.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: 

  • Quality of applications
  • Ecosystem
  • Price.

The ecosystem of partner is very important. The position in the market, in terms of quality of the application, is key. The cost and price around it are important too. 

Often. we need to have a local partner available to make sure that we are not obliged to develop by ourselves a solution. It is key to have people able to help us to deploy something.

Robust phishing protection boosts security awareness

What is our primary use case?

We use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration mainly for phishing protection. All we do is check and verify if there is any quarantine and refine our policies.

Every single day is a use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, because being a company makes you vulnerable to phishing. There are many phishing campaigns going to every single domain, and our domain is included. We avoid our employees receiving those emails and making mistakes that they shouldn't make.

What is most valuable?

I'm not too versed on specific features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but everything, including the context and the understanding that the product has to declare if something is trustworthy, works effectively.

The quarantine side of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very helpful. I appreciate the easy way to search for emails and do filters, and the overview where you can see possibilities of some email accounts being compromised.

With Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we improve our security by omitting many phishing emails from being received. Our workers are more aware because they can see a recap of emails that are quarantined and they can contest. When they contest the decision, we get an email and then we check.

What needs improvement?

Nothing comes to my mind for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Everything works effectively.

Everything is fine with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration in terms of small changes or extra features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration on and off for a year, barely logging in because the main activity I do is just check emails.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

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

I did not previously use a different solution.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we used Microsoft 365, but it's integrated together and helps the product to shine even more.

What other advice do I have?

I would suggest always to do a Proof of Concept with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and see for yourself if it works. It works best with Microsoft Defender, such as the 365 Defender for emails. I rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine out of ten.

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