Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Harmony Email is an API-based solution. Legacy email gateway clouds, by comparison, only inspect internal emails, which include users' and end users' emails. Check Point inspects all emails before they reach the end user's mailbox.
What other advice do I have?
If you are looking for an anti-phishing solution, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best. I rate the solution a nine out of ten because the spam filtering is still not good enough, though it does not affect the security.

We have to invest a lot of effort in filtering the spam emails. They have not updated any category for phishing or spam emails. There could be more automation features included for it. It will help me with feedback for unusual activities.

No challenge experinced so far, its worth the investent

We use the tool for all our Emails protection against any security concern. The tool is easy to use and eets the requirements. It comes with a high encryption scheme which makes the data fro eails safe and secure. It also comes with an anti spa feature that helps to prevent spam messages.
Has a user-friendly dashboard, a great anti-phishing algorithm, and sandboxing for testing
What is our primary use case?
Usually, the customer is on Office 365, and the main selling point for us is that approximately 95 percent of customers do not have the E5 license from Microsoft, which is the highest tier. As a result, they lack advanced email protection. Therefore, using a third-party solution is more cost-effective than upgrading to an E5 license, and it also offers greater sophistication. This solution can cover not only Office 365 but also other platforms. Furthermore, it carries the reputable brand name Check Point and is well-known in the security industry.
What is most valuable?
The centralized management dashboard is easy to use. We usually sell advanced packets that include sandboxing for attachments, which is highly critical to most customers. The solution has a very effective anti-phishing algorithm that detects a significantly higher number of phishing emails compared to the default Microsoft solution. Additionally, it is user-friendly. When customers need to make exceptions to the policy, they find it quite easy to navigate the dashboard. However, what customers mostly care about are the anti-phishing and sandboxing features.
What needs improvement?
The price has room for improvement. Perhaps, if Check Point offered an SMB bucket for up to 100 users or a similar option. This could be beneficial as it would likely result in a more cost-effective solution.
I would like Check Point to extend its coverage to include more cloud applications. Currently, 95 percent of our customers are using Office 365 or Google Mail. It would be beneficial if the solution covered a broader range of applications.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven't experienced any stability issues with the solution as it is cloud-based and thus quite stable. I can't say the same for another cloud product, though. The stability is mainly due to the architecture rather than the solution itself.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scaling the solution is not a problem because it is cloud-based. The number of customer email accounts can range from fifty to five thousand; it doesn't really matter for the solution.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is average. Like with most companies, when they are not dealing with an enterprise customer, their response is usually medium to slow, unless it's a very critical issue.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Some of our customers used FortiMail but discovered that certain malicious emails were able to bypass the solution, unlike Check Point, which identified and quarantined the emails.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. The deployment takes ten minutes and requires only one person.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations. For smaller customers, they usually require something more affordable, but it's not related to the features of the product. It's clearly about the pricing.
The license is issued on a yearly basis. On their website, we can observe a price per month, but it's derived from the yearly cost. I don't believe we have the option to purchase it for just a few months, for example.
As far as Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is concerned, we only need to pay for the license. Additionally, we have the option to integrate or add an additional support package, which includes the implementation course, and so on. However, for the solution, we only need to pay for the license.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration an eight out of ten. It's a good solution, but I rarely give a perfect ten to any product. So, I believe it offers a fair value with some room for improvement. It could be rated nine out of ten.
As Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a cloud-based solution, there is no need to assist users with hardware-level maintenance. Everything is managed in the cloud, eliminating the necessity for updates or firmware adjustments, among other things. However, like any cybersecurity solution, it is essential to keep the policies up to date. For instance, within our organization, we need to periodically train staff on configuration and maintenance to ensure it remains current. Although it requires some maintenance, it is minimal, and one person is sufficient to handle it.
We work with medium and enterprise customers.
As long as the pricing is acceptable for an organization, I would recommend Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it provides a good solution for its offerings.
Adaptable and compatible

Fundamental security solution to prevent and protect inbound, outbound and internal mail in an organization. With a simple management to take action on attacks that are generated through email.
What do you dislike about the product?
The DLP module may have some improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It protects us from all the attacks and threats that arise every day and that are related to email with its different variants of techniques used by cybercriminals.
A powerful protection against attacks via mail
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to set up and the AI it uses is very accurate. With the tool we have detected how many attacks we have against our users and the exposure we have and that we can now contain is impressive
What do you dislike about the product?
I really improve a lot with avanan. What could improve would be improvements on the DLP since it is currently not so configurable It would be good to add more options for countries, words, documents, etc. or an option of encryption of sensitive data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes care of our backs, since many of the attackers try to deceive the user and the number of attempts on our users is too much and if any mail arrives in their trays with something malicious, the risk is great.
