Email security has blocked sophisticated phishing and now protects inboxes with AI detection

The only challenge with Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is that it is an API-based solution. In an API-based solution, the major challenge is that it can read email content and Google Drive content. This presents a data privacy challenge, and we had to mitigate it by signing a Data Processing Agreement and other agreements. Because it is not a traditional in-line solution, Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) connects with Google Workspace using API permission and can access email, attachments, sender, recipient information, links, and all metadata is with Check Point. Data storage and everything else is with Check Point, which is the challenge. This solution has a drawback because of API deployment, while other solutions are traditional secure email gateways that are in-line solutions. In those solutions, we need to change the MX record, but with this solution we do not need to change the MX record, which is a pro of API-based deployment. However, there is also a con in that with API solutions, the email is scanned but after delivery in the mailbox.

Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover

Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sensitive business data is effectively protected from any third-party attacks that can easily destroy confidential information."

"We can say that with Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS, we have improved our security to the next level."

"Our employees and the company's system are pretty much safe, and it has overall improved our email hygiene with very little spam and no malicious attachments reaching us, which get filtered out very quickly."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the sandboxing feature. It provides a sandboxing environment where you can open links and see where they lead. You can see what is presented in the link after opening it."

"The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does."

"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."

"The deployment itself is quite seamless; you can use their temporary licenses for the deployment, just for testing."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pros

"From a recovery standpoint, InfoScale is excellent and easy to manage."

"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."

"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."

"The best feature in InfoScale is the file system, which is the greatest feature as you can get any storage LUN from any hardware because it's software-defined and create a volume that can consist of storage from two or more different vendors, which avoids any vendor lock-in and makes it easier when you expand as time goes."

"In a live incident scenario, the data replication process occurs in real-time, and compared to other products, this data replication feature works effectively, ensuring data availability, and we can implement this scenario using Veritas Volume Replication (VVR), which is the most usable feature in InfoScale for data replication."

"It's a stable solution."

"InfoScale's ability to maintain data integrity and availability during a cyber event such as a ransomware attack is excellent."

"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."

More InfoScale pros

Cons

"There is always room for improvement and growth."

"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."

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

"Its guides are not great."

"The product's pricing needs improvement."

"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."

"In terms of DLP, there is limited functionality on outgoing DLP specifically."

"There is a need for improvement in handling business email compromise."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) cons

"It could be more stable and more secure."

"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."

"It's very difficult to implement."

"Based on my experience with support, I would rate them a nine, only because occasionally the first person I talk to does not know more than I do and it needs to be escalated to reach someone more knowledgeable."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit expensive, but rather than that, because it is used in critical environments with no competitor, most of the customers go for it anyways."

"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."

"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."

More InfoScale cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Usually, we pay for the licensing part on a yearly basis and not on a monthly basis. If Check Point's team is providing a good amount of discount, then it is very easy for us to select it since its competitors are also giving the best prices or best discounts."

"The product’s price is very high."

"The pricing is expensive."

"The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment."

"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."

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

"The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher."
