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.

Great protection, good privacy, and helpful support
The only thing I would like is a way to open the email that is going to quarantine. Based on the level of security, they cannot open the email to check the message. Even for the administrator, you have to create a security copy to be sent, which will lock the log support. It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not. That is the only thing that I'm seeing could be improved. Basically, ESET doesn't have the ability to let the administrator release an email showing the message on the email. It's not possible. If you want to have an email review, you have to select an option to send a copy. In the way that they designed the system, for security, they are not letting anyone even have the admin privileges to make this happen. Privacy is at a really high level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"The email security solution boasts an exceptional success rate in filtering out junk, spam, and phishing emails while ensuring that legitimate emails reach their intended recipients. The setup process is straightforward and user-friendly"
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"Based on domain and URL reputation, it will allow traffic to flow."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and automated. Everything can be made ready within a few clicks."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy."
"We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."
 

Cons

"Initial Learning Mode takes a while."
"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."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"While Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers useful analytics, there is potential for improvement in providing deeper insights."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda."
"Sometimes junior staff members would ask scripted questions without having enough knowledge to address the core issue immediately."
"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."
"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
"The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."
"The product’s price is very high."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"The solution provides affordable pricing for medium sized industries."
