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.

Ease of deployment and cost-effectiveness boost operational efficiency
I have recommendations for increasing dashboard customization. Currently, we are using custom dashboards, but they are not effectively customizable. If they provide better customization options, it would be easier to understand everything in a single dashboard instead of navigating through dropdown menus to see reports. Additionally, log retention is currently 30 days, but some customers request to extend it to 60 days. Having 60 days of log retention would be helpful for maintaining logs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"It is fast and has a very simple, easy integration."
"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."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"The solution helps to block spam emails."
"The sanitization feature of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is valuable."
"Compared to other email solutions such as Cisco, price-wise, we get this solution within 50 to 60% of the average."
 

Cons

"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"Check Point's technical support is very much of a low level, especially with respect to other vendors and OEMs."
"There is always room for improvement and growth."
"We still get some false positives. There are times when legitimate stuff gets flagged and it could be that somebody is expecting a very important email but they don't end up getting it. On the flip side, when we alert Check Point about stuff like this, it is corrected, so they are improving. That's a plus."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"Threat intelligence is adequate because they are using Microsoft GTI threat intelligence, but we need to increase protection against phishing and spam mails."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"I'm in this business as a system integrator, so I need to suggest Check Point to some customers who are comparing products. I sell Check Point, Fortinet, and Palo Alto solutions. In terms of licensing, this solution is quite competitive but very costly. For someone looking at security as a primary concern, they should only invest in Check Point. For a customer who is looking at security combined with pricing, Check Point might not be the core solution for them. In today's market, customers are looking for effective security with efficient pricing, and Check Point is not suitable for these types of customers."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"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."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."
