Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

Email security effectively detects a wide range of threats and improves productivity
Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable. While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"The solution helps to block spam emails."
"Check Point adds value with east-west protection in the data center."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and automated. Everything can be made ready within a few clicks."
"The API is its most valuable feature. On the API side, relative to the rest of the market, Check Point is decades ahead of its competitors."
"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."
"The program has a nice interface and it is easy to use."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
 

Cons

"The account support team was weak in engagement and communication, contributing to the decision to move to more comprehensive solutions."
"There is always room for improvement and growth."
"They must provide security to more email service providers."
"The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter."
"Currently, Check Point HEC supports only Microsoft Office 365 and Google Sheets. In today's world, some clients are using old email service provider solutions, so it would be better if HEC also provides support for third-party email service solutions, such as IBM HCL Notes, creating more opportunities."
"There is a need for improvement in handling business email compromise."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"Initial Learning Mode takes a while."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm in this business as a system integrator, so I need to suggest Check Point to some customers who are comparing products. I sell Check Point, Fortinet, and Palo Alto solutions. In terms of licensing, this solution is quite competitive but very costly. For someone looking at security as a primary concern, they should only invest in Check Point. For a customer who is looking at security combined with pricing, Check Point might not be the core solution for them. In today's market, customers are looking for effective security with efficient pricing, and Check Point is not suitable for these types of customers."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven and a half."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"The product’s price is very high."
