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.
Bruno Rolland - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable tool capable of detecting malware while focusing on anti-phishing to protect its users
I don't see ISO 27001 in the solution. While working on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to the solution. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product. Vade needs to incorporate the aforementioned aspects to improve their solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The threat management database provides consistent updates."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size."
"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 sanitization feature of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is valuable."
"I recommend Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration to all types of companies, from small businesses to enterprises."
"It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout."
"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."
 

Cons

"There could be more automation features included for it."
"I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective."
"It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"if a phishing email were to get through and bypass the product — which very few do — it would be nice if, when a user clicked on that phishing email, they got a second-chance opportunity, a chance to double-check that they really wanted to proceed to that website."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"Integration is currently limited to Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite."
"Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix."
"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is expensive."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"The product’s price is very high."
"The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher."
"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."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"Vade for Office 365 is a solution offered at competitive prices in the market...Payment has to be made for the whole bundle of Vade products."
