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 reliable and sturdy."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"Based on domain and URL reputation, it will allow traffic to flow."
"We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual."
"I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment."
"The quarantine and release functionality for malware and junk mail is much more simplified than with previous products, and it has reduced effort in tickets and manpower not needing to do this for people who would have to normally put in a ticket."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"We are close to having 99% or 98% detection."
"The most valuable features are the precision of detection and the level of customization of the policy."
 

Cons

"The sanitization on the file needs improvement."
"While Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers useful analytics, there is potential for improvement in providing deeper insights."
"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."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"Expanding third-party integration would be beneficial. When I integrate with Microsoft 365, support for other platforms like Slack or Dropbox is limited."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"The specific domain file for Apache needs to be well-defined."
"It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is very high."
"The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"The solution provides affordable pricing for medium sized industries."
