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.

Secure email workflows have reduced manual steps and now protect sensitive data effortlessly
The best features Virtru Data Protection Gateway offers are email encryption, application email encryption, email DLP, and email gateway. Email encryption has made the biggest impact for my team because it adds an extra layer of security. Email encryption allows us to encrypt emails without installing or exchanging keys with the recipient; we can have the sender manually encrypt the email, or based on keywords in the email, we suggest the user encrypt the email, or we auto-encrypt the email with ease. I also appreciate the DLP feature because it helps us gain DLP capabilities in a simple and straightforward way. Virtru Data Protection Gateway has positively impacted my organization by providing better security. Better security has meant ensuring customer sensitive information is well protected and secured for my organization; we have noticed fewer incidents, improved compliance, and it saves approximately 50 hours a month by enabling us to eliminate manual work and reduce several daily workflow steps for our representatives.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration offers online support and has tight integration with Microsoft."
"Machine Learning and AI for email security have helped all the organization's members to guard their information against insecure exposure."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"Our employees and the company's system are pretty much safe, and it has overall improved our email hygiene with very little spam and no malicious attachments reaching us, which get filtered out very quickly."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"The sanitization feature of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is valuable."
"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."
"Virtru Data Protection Gateway has positively impacted my organization by providing better security; better security has meant ensuring customer sensitive information is well protected and secured for my organization, we have noticed fewer incidents, improved compliance, and it saves approximately 50 hours a month by enabling us to eliminate manual work and reduce several daily workflow steps for our representatives."
"I truly value this platform because it provides and safeguards my data, our data, and our client's data, making it an effortless email encryption solution with a seamless Gmail integration tool."
 

Cons

"The left-hand feature can be made more granular for the implementation of the policy."
"Check Point has to continue refining the intelligence engine to minimize the number of false positives."
"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."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"The business team should be further expanded, and more peer feedback should be made available publicly to have better and complete visibility of the application globally."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English."
"One area that Virtru Data Protection Gateway should improve is that I sometimes experience problems when using a different browser or when I have to switch computers."
"One area in which I believe Virtru Data Protection Gateway should improve is the native Google Docs file encryption."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"The product’s price is very high."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
