Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Reviews

We use the product for endpoint security features.

The product's environment is easy to work and comprehensive.

The product's pricing needs improvement. 

We have Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for five months.

The product is stable.

We deploy it on the cloud; we use an infinity portal for the process. It takes a day to complete.

We implement the product with the help of an in-house specialist in our company.

The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a seven or eight. There is room for improvement.

I rate CheckPoint Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine out of ten. Even though it is an expensive product, it works efficiently. I advise others to do industry-related research and evaluate the products to suit business requirements regarding pricing and the number of users.

We use CloudGuard SaaS to protect our cloud-based services from security threats. It is responsible for our Office 365 environment, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, G-Suite, and more. 

This solution has improved our visibility. Last week, one of our Office 365 customers was hacked and we were able to see details such as the attacker's IP address and country. It allows us to better decide what to do, such as activating two-factor authentication.

The security level is fairly high, given the price.

The program has a nice interface and it is easy to use.

There is an extra option available for two-factor authentication that you install an app onto your mobile device for. You can, for example, set it up so that you can't get into Office 365 without authenticating access from your phone.

At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory. This is something that we are looking forward to.

I have been using CloudGuard SaaS for close to six months.

I have 60 customers who are using CloudGuard.

The technical support from Check Point is very good. 

The price is very good, based on what they deliver.

Overall, this is a solution that we are absolutely satisfied with and I definitely recommend it. In my opinion, using this product is necessary.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use is for email protection, though the analytics provided with respect to data leakage and user login activity is invaluable.

My company is a singular key player in a major industry in my country so we are a target at all times for phishing campaigns. We have had bad experiences in the past. Based on those experiences, we have been using Check Point for a couple of months, and in the reporting, we are seeing very good results.

The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc. The ability to sandbox, extract and interrogate email attachments is also key to safeguard user mailboxes. 

I have a keen interest in being able to consolidate and being able to have one viewpoint. I want to be able to integrate directly into our centralized login. I would love to see the ability to integrate into our SIEM solution which is on-premise. 

I see where in a later update, they have built ability to integrate with an on-premise logging solution, so this is a big plus.

Stability has been a pain point. I was going back and forth with my product engineer and project manager for a couple of months. I had the product in a demonstration mode and wasn't satisfied with the results initially. After a few alterations and a few revisions later, it is fine.

It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud. 

Their technical support was very responsive. I was not initially satisfied with the length of time it took to get this solution.

I've been a Check Point customer for about 17 years, and I am not accustomed to not getting immediate fixes when I contact support. This was different. However, I am glad it eventually worked out.

A colleague recommend the Check Point solution after we had such significant disruptions with the phishing email campaign. So, we tried it out.

The initial setup was was straightforward. It was unknown territory for me, but the instructions from Check Point were very clear and straight to the point. 

I worked directly with Check Point for the deployment. We had a good experience with them. 

Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me. 

Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did.

We also considered Fortinet and Proofpoint. We always look at things like stability, feature set, the position in the market, maturity of the product, cost (because we have a budget that we have to work with), and the availability of technical support. This is why we went with Check Point. 

I was part of the decision-making process to implement the solution.

I have been quite pleased with the solution. You have nothing to lose by trying out Check Point.

I would rate it an eight out of ten with room for improvement. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

This perimeter firewall provides me control over my perimeter servers and devices. Current Cloud applications are getting good protection from CASB solutions, but are limited to data leakage and application control. Beyond that, I require something to monitor my data that flows inside of my cloud application.

Sophisticated threats like zero-day attacks can't be control by CASB solutions, Instead, we are required to have something that can work using Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning algorithms. This helps to defend my cloud applications against today's attacks.

Sophisticated attacks can't be prevented by normal SaaS security. Cloud Guard SaaS is a technology that prevents not only Sophisticated attacks but affords protection from Email.

Most attacks are successful because of SPAM emails that effectively cause users to fall into the attacker's trap. As Check Point is a leading technology in the industry, it provides maximum protection against email phishing attacks and provides the identity of users and visibility over shadow IT applications.

Along with the email security solution, Cloud Guard is an additional layer of comprehensive security, so we can completely rely on it.

Most organizations that invest in email security opt for MFA. They invest in a Cloud Firewall but they never consider the east-west traffic flow inside their Cloud Applications.

Here, Cloud Guards comes in with the best features, such as protection from zero-day attacks. These are usually reported when we have blades on the perimeter firewall, like Threat Emulation and Extraction or Sandbox. We have complete visibility of email Attacks like spear-phishing, spoofing, etc. Based on domain and URL reputation, it will allow traffic to flow.

Apart from this, we can easily identify users who are going to use cloud applications. These users are logged in via a trusted network or device.

Cloud Guard would be a complete solution if Check Point added a comprehensive data loss solution that included capabilities such as bulk data transfer detection.

I would like to see a centralized gateway so that anyone from any geolocation can access the infrastructure with minimum latency.

I would like to see additional work on protecting against phishing emails by adding more filters to minimize risk or to harden the security.

Stability is the main area that Check Point needs to focus on.

Integration with third-party APIs should be supported, as AI and ML can get more inputs to minimize the false rate ratio.

I have been using Check Point CloudGuard SaaS for more than a year.

Stability is an area that needs to improve.

It can be scale up to maximum limit.

Technical support is good.

We did not previously use another solution before this one. However, one of our customers had implemented an on-premises solution by McAfee.

This solution is easy to implement, although it is required that you have knowledge of the Public Cloud domain.

We are vendors and deploy this solution for our clients.

We definitely see ROI from this product, and it grows and we have a greater dependency on east-west traffic.

Cost is the main concern that every customer takes into consideration, and Check Point always negotiates a price that is affordable. Pricing is based on the requirements and their relationship.

Our primary use is for security, Elastic Cloud, and Azure Cloud Services. 

The main benefit is to the user. Hackers can't steal their information.

Elasticsearch and sandboxing are the most valuable features. Check Point is very good for threat protection, which is our customers' primary concern. Everyday, our customers are asking about new threats.

The QoS on the Elastic Cloud could use improvement. 

Stability is very good. It has good uptime, which I find acceptable.

The scalability is so-so. The Elasticsearch application is not very transparent. 

We have used technical support, but their response time is very slow. It needs to be improved. 

We switched to Check Point because of the easier deployment on the cloud. It's very strong.

The initial setup was complex. We do the installation in a lab environment before installing it in the customer's environment.

I integrated it myself. The implementation is not easy because of communication between the environment and the environment as a cluster. It is a single gateway.

Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license.

We also looked at Fortinet. 

Check Point is a very strong competitor versus Palo Alto. 

Try out Check Point. It is a good solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

It is a value proposition in the market.

Lateral data center: Check Point really adds value with east-west protection in the data center.

There is always room for improvement and growth.

The stability is great.

We are the consultants.

Palo Alto and Fortinet are some of the other vendors constantly running to the market.

Check Point is a leader in the market. It is a very sound product.

Most people think that when they're with a cloud provider that they're protected through the nature of being in somebody else's cloud. This is where Check Point adds value.
