Harmony Email & Collaboration (Avanan)

Our main use case for Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration is for email threat prevention.

We are using Office 365  for our organization, and the ATP object from Check Point is deployed and front-facing for our email, filtering out all the malicious emails we are receiving for our organization.

We have deployed Check Point Harmony  Email & Collaboration to identify all the phishing emails and do file blocking if an email has some attachment, using the sandboxing features to check for malicious content before releasing it to the end-user.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include the inline functionality that seamlessly connects between Microsoft services, the sandboxing feature that helps scan attachments for incoming emails, and the reporting functionality.

The sandboxing feature has helped my team by stopping EXEs received from outside organizations, alerting the administrator to check the files for potential release to the end user, which gives the confidence level of the malicious files being scanned.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture, which is essential since email is a mandatory communication tool for every company user.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by speeding up the process of identifying emerging threats and updating signatures more quickly to protect against new vulnerabilities.

I have been working in this field for five years now.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is excellent, and it can handle more users or increased email traffic easily, which I rate as 10.

I rate the customer support of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a 10 based on my interactions with their support team.

Positive

I did not use a different solution before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because Check Point was the leader when we checked, and we went with them directly.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The public cloud deployment is taken care of by Check Point itself.

I have seen a return on investment in terms of time saved, money saved, and improved security.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing are handled by a different team.

My advice to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to deploy the tool properly while understanding the security posture of their organization. I have rated this solution 10 out of 10.
