Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and Trellix Collaboration Security compete in the email and collaboration security space. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration appears to have an advantage due to its advanced AI features and seamless integration capabilities.

Features: Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is noted for its AI-driven threat intelligence, seamless integration with Microsoft 365, and flexibility in managing security. Features like sandboxing, phishing detection, and malware defense are emphasized. Trellix Collaboration Security provides strong malware and threat detection capabilities alongside secure file sharing, focusing on preventing phishing attacks and malware infections.

Room for Improvement: Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration requires better dashboard customization and integration with non-cloud systems.

Network Architect at IP Dimension

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Harish (Kumar)

Cybersecurity And Information Governance Head at Aeren

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.

Jorge Abalo

Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response

In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The solution is stable and I think it does a fantastic job."

"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."

"Check Point adds value with east-west protection in the data center."

"Machine Learning and AI for email security have helped all the organization's members to guard their information against insecure exposure."

"The sanitization feature of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is valuable."

"The solution is easy to customize and the options available on the portal are easily accessible to all technicians."

"Getting reports and finding threats in the console is easy."

"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."

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

"The initial setup is simple."

"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."

"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."

"Trellix Collaboration Security has positively impacted our organization by making our collaboration environment very safe, allowing our team to share files and links without worrying about threats."

"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."

"A specific example of how I have used Trellix Collaboration Security in my consulting work is in my current work environment, where I manage over 130,000 endpoints, allowing me to protect each endpoint with a firewall, which makes a significant difference because the entire network is not protected by a network firewall alone."

More Trellix Collaboration Security pros

Cons

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."

"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."

"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."

"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."

"If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option."

"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."

"Sometimes they do not provide immediate assistance, and it can take time for them to respond."

"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."

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

"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."

"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."

"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."

"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."

"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."

"If you really need something powerful to handle multiple routes and delivery points then this solution might not be for you."

"The solution needs better support."

"We're not really that satisfied with technical support. They are too slow to respond."

More Trellix Collaboration Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is expensive."

"The pricing is competitive."

"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."

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

"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."

"One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."

"Cost is the main concern that every customer takes into consideration, and Check Point always negotiates a price that is affordable."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The cost is very high."

"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
