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

"I recommend Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration to all types of companies, from small businesses to enterprises."
"Getting reports and finding threats in the console is easy."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"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 appreciate the ease of deployment and the intuitive dashboard. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily understand the dashboard and identify potential threats."
"The phishing filtering feature is valuable for me because it stops most of the phishing emails before they hit the users' inboxes, ensuring that users don't see the infected or phishing emails."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."
 

Cons

"Its guides are not great."
"There is a need for improvement in handling business email compromise."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"The implementation could definitely be better."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"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

"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven and a half."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"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."
