Featured Reviews

Harish (Kumar) - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Anastasia Wairimu - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Manager at Ford
Gateway filtering has protected our organization and provides complete email threat prevention
In my opinion, the best features Trellix Email Security offers include its use for malware analysis as well as the enterprise-wide email quarantine system. My experience with the malware analysis and quarantine features is that they are easy to manage and they have been very effective because we have been able to quarantine any suspicious emails or prevent any attempt before it affects our systems. It is also very user-friendly and has a simple interface. Policies and rules are easy to create and they work with very little downtime or operational impact. Email delivery issues are easy to investigate and troubleshoot. Trellix Email Security has positively impacted my organization as it is user-friendly and does a good job detecting malicious attachments in email, providing complete email protection against all users and working well to stop advanced threats. The price is relatively the same as other competitors.
