Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.6
Check Point Harmony enhances security and efficiency, reducing phishing and costs, delivering strong ROI through time and financial savings.
Sentiment score
7.3
Perception Point reduces SOC workload, enhances security, blocks threats, improves efficiency, and delivers excellent value with competitive pricing.
We have gone from three to four successful phishing attacks every year to a maximum of one.
The time saved during investigations is significant due to the neat dashboard that organizes everything related to alerts.
I have seen a return on investment, as I can share relevant metrics like money saved, time saved, and fewer employees needed, all of them.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Check Point Harmony support is praised for its responsiveness, though some users experience slow responses and challenges with complex issues.
Sentiment score
7.3
Perception Point provides responsive, professional, 24/7 customer support, though some users note variability in response times and effectiveness.
I ended up with a technician that didn't actually know how to resolve the issue and was just doing basic level one troubleshooting.
We opted for the 24/7 premium support, which is very responsive and quick whenever we have configuration challenges or other inquiries.
We understand that with respect to SLA, but we expect they can go beyond SLA and provide quick support for the client.
Customer service and support are good, but there is room for improvement in response time.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration is highly scalable, integrating smoothly with SaaS and Office 365, efficiently managing growth.</p>
Sentiment score
7.7
Perception Point Advanced Email Security is praised for its scalability, effectiveness, and adaptability across diverse user needs and volumes.
I would rate the scalability of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration as nine out of ten, indicating high scalability.
Scalability is limited, being only integrated with Microsoft Office 365 and G Suite at present.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration is highly stable and secure, appreciated for reliability and reduced security risks.</p>
Sentiment score
8.1
Perception Point Advanced Email Security offers high stability and uptime with minimal issues, easily managed by a small team.
 

Room For Improvement

<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration needs better third-party integration, documentation, performance, phishing protection, support, and language options.</p>
Perception Point Advanced Email Security needs enhancements in spam filtering, user customization, integration, and advanced features for better user experience.
Updates based on AI and reduced administrative overhead by adding or bulk adding new users, along with graphical enhancements to the GUI, would also be beneficial.
Enhancing reporting capabilities with customizable and advanced analytics features would greatly improve our ability to detect trends and proactively address emerging threats.
It would be better if HEC also provides support for third-party email service solutions, such as IBM HCL Notes, creating more opportunities.
Integration and end-user interaction can be improved as the current system does not allow end-users to send back information to the platform, unlike Google Workspace or competitive tools like Ironscales.
Maybe a couple of improvements on their portal would be good.
 

Setup Cost

<p>Check Point Harmony Email &amp; Collaboration offers flexible, affordable pricing with comprehensive features, quick setup, and negotiable discounts for enterprises.</p>
Opinions on Perception Point Advanced Email Security's pricing vary, influenced by inbox count, features, and regional pricing impacts.
Pricing is a bit expensive, but it is worth it considering the features that Check Point provides.
The pricing is very justifiable, neither exceptionally high nor exceedingly low.
The pricing is lower compared to what I used before.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point Harmony enhances security and productivity with advanced threat protection, intuitive management, and seamless Office 365 integration.
Perception Point excels in fast, accurate threat detection, effective blocking of phishing, detailed reporting, and user-friendly interface.
The protection and scanning of emails are also appreciated, as they secure everything in the email spectrum.
Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers online support and has tight integration with Microsoft.
The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does.
I get weekly reporting, and by doing that, I can go and talk to these people directly and make them aware of how many attacks they had and where the attacks are coming from and not only the source of the email, but what category of emails that they are receiving.
Perception Point Advanced Email Security has a correct price point and offers very good email filtering capabilities.

Featured Reviews

Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Fabio Amorim Araujo - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good detection and response capabilities
The solution is very easy to use. We don't have any difficulty with transactions. Finding information, customizing configurations, and getting support or documentation is simple. I don't have any negative points to mention. I would recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a ten. It's amazing for us—the protection, the analysis time compared to Microsoft 365, and the pricing are all good. We're using both solutions—spam and protection channels. Recently, we presented two-week results to a customer, and they liked them and wanted to buy the solution. Our feedback is positive. We're developing a strategy to increase sales of the solution. When we deliver executive summaries to customers, we present good news about our company and discuss how Perception Point Advanced Email Security can help improve their security.
