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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails."
"It is very intuitive. It is a point and click type of deal."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"The feature I find to be most valuable is very much the zero-touch provisioning. I was able to be up, operational, and 100 percent functional in less than a half an hour."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
 

Cons

"There are a few areas for improvement. One is the occasional sluggishness or latency, which is likely due to the cloud-based nature of the solution. So, the performance can be better."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"Other vendor support teams go after fixing the issue the moment that they join the remote session. The problem that I have faced with Check Point support is that they share the case number with me, then it takes at least two days for them to join a remote session with us, even though we have asked for this timeframe to change. Even though we have already explained the problems that we are facing or the business pain points in our network on the call or email, we have to repeat the problem statements again in the console. It can take four or five days to resolve the issue from the moment they understand the problem. This includes the time to teach their R&D or internal team whatever the issue is. I have faced timeframes as long as seven to 10 days for fixing some issues."
"There is a need for improvement in handling business email compromise."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"Check Point could improve its marketing strategy."
"Check Point has to continue refining the intelligence engine to minimize the number of false positives."
"At this time, the two-factor authentication does not work for Active Directory."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"The product is expensive."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
