Comprehensive Protection Across All Channels

  • November 23, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Phishing attempts and malicious links are blocked before they reach users, and the solution also monitors platforms like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, which used to be blind spots for us. The biggest advantage is knowing that both communication and file-sharing channels are constantly protected with a single solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial policy configuration can be complex and requires adjustments to avoid blocking legitimate messages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had weaknesses in security on platforms like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, leaving us vulnerable to targeted attacks.
Now, suspicious emails, links, and files are automatically blocked before they reach users, reducing the risk of data breaches and credential theft.

Protects users from phishing and malicious links while improving team efficiency

  • November 22, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments across email and cloud tools. I use the Gmail collaboration and ensure suspicious links or files are blocked before they reach users. It helps enforce consistent security policies, reduce the risk of account compromise, and provide quick visibility into attempted attacks.

One example of how I used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to block a threat was when a phishing email disguised as a Gmail login request was sent to several employees. The solution automatically flagged the suspicious email, quarantined the message, and prevented users from clicking the malicious links.

Another way Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped in similar situations is by consistently stopping targeted spear phishing attacks. In one case, attackers tried to impersonate a trusted vendor with a fake invoice, but the system flagged the unusual sender behavior and quarantined the emails before anyone could open them.

What is most valuable?

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are the advanced phishing protection and its seamless integration with collaboration tools.

The advanced phishing protection is proactive in catching threats before users even see them. It does not just block obvious spam; it can spot subtle impersonation attempts and suspicious links that appear legitimate at first glance. The seamless integration has made my workflow easier because the same protection applies across email and collaboration tools without extra configuration.

Another feature is the detailed reporting and analytics that come with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. They provide clear visibility into attempted attacks, user activity, and overall trends, which helps the team fine-tune policies and demonstrate the value of the solution to management.

It has impacted my organization positively by reducing the number of phishing attempts that reach our users and giving us greater confidence in every communication. It has improved efficiency because suspicious emails are automatically quarantined, saving the team time that used to be spent on manual investigation. I estimate the team saves at least three to five hours per week, thanks to the automatic quarantine and clear visibility features.

What needs improvement?

The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have no problem with the scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

How are customer service and support?

I find the customer support to be very great and faster. I would rate the customer support a 10.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is an excellent tool, and I recommend it for other companies. It is a complete solution with excellent protection and a big, modern solution. I give this product a rating of 10.

Exceptional Visibility and Control for Secure Information Flow

  • November 22, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform offers visibility and control over the flow of information within the organization. It not only blocks threats but also provides a clear view of how files and messages move between users and applications. This helps us detect anomalous behavior and meet audit requirements effortlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the advanced configuration options can be complex at first, especially when adjusting policies for different user groups. Overall, the solution is robust, but it requires time and dedication to fully optimize it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's addressing the problem of phishing, account theft, and malicious file sharing on our email and collaboration platforms. Previously, we frequently experienced incidents of suspicious emails slipping through, but now threats are blocked in real time and clearly flagged to users.

Phishing threats have been blocked consistently and team response time has improved significantly

  • November 21, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments. We use it most often to scan incoming emails and block suspicious links before they reach users.

A clear example of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protecting us was during a phishing campaign that mimicked our internal HR message, where several employees received an email with a fake link to their payroll details. It immediately flagged the message, quarantined them, and prevented users from clicking the malicious link. In another case, it blocked a suspicious attachment that contained malware before it reached the inbox. This protection saved us from potential credential theft and downtime while keeping daily communication secure.

Another useful scenario for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is when an external partner sends a large volume of attachments. The solution scans and filters their files automatically, which prevents malware and unsafe content from slipping through.

What is most valuable?

The best feature in my experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is its strong phishing protection and ability to block malicious attachments before they reach users. I also value the account takeover prevention feature, which monitors for suspicious login attempts and enforces security access, along with the seamless integration with platforms like Office 365.

The account takeover prevention feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been very effective for us as it monitors login behavior and flags unusual access attempts, such as sign-ins from unexpected locations or devices. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has impacted our organization positively by providing a noticeable reduction in phishing attempts reaching users and fewer incidents of suspicious attachments making it into inboxes. This has lowered the number of security alerts our team needs to handle and saves time on manual investigations. Employees feel more confident working with email and collaboration tools, knowing they are protected.

On average, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration blocks around 200 to 300 phishing attempts per month that previously would have reached user inboxes. Incident response time has also been reduced by more than 20% before suspicious emails are quarantined automatically, which requires fewer manual checks. Overall, this has saved our team several hours each week and allowed us to focus on proactive security improvements rather than chasing alerts.

What needs improvement?

There are areas that could be improved for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The reporting dashboard of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be more customized so different users can get the exact insights they need, and the integration with third-party collaboration tools outside of Microsoft 365 would also make it more versatile.

The documentation for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is only in English and is not intuitive, which could be improved. I chose eight out of ten for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it needs to create intuitive documentation for first-time implementation.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is good.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very fast. I only needed to create a support incident once, but Check Point support responded and created the solution very quickly. For me, it is very, very, very good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to integrate with existing platforms like Office and Microsoft 365, and the deployment was straightforward and required minimal change to user workflows.

What was our ROI?

I think about the time saved with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because during the week, employees have more free time to investigate other aspects of their position.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great for us, with no problems. It is perfect for the large application of security.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a big and modern security tool for email and other collaboration tools in your company. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is an excellent tool that is centralized and a perfect solution. I rate this product an eight out of ten.

Secures internal and external emails while reducing manual quarantine management

  • November 20, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is used to secure all incoming emails and emails within the organization.

All PDF files and attachments are scanned while sending an email from one user to another within and outside of the organization.

It is also used to block users from receiving spam emails.

What is most valuable?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration works seamlessly with cloud email providers such as Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace, and it also provides security to collaboration tools such as Teams, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Slack.

It is very easy to set up, requiring only about seven clicks and two to three days to receive all information from the mailboxes and provide details about partners, shadow IT, and other relevant information.

Regarding threat detection, it provides additional security to the already inbuilt security from Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace.

It blocks security threats and malware that have been passed on by Microsoft Office 365 EOP and works inline with all cloud email providers.

The amount of resources required to conduct a deep dive into email security has been reduced because of its automation feature, which allows users to manually restore quarantine files at their own risk.

Previously, when using other email security providers, logging in daily was necessary to remove all quarantine emails.

Now, users are notified of quarantine emails and can be provided access to release them from quarantine.

What needs improvement?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because it currently only supports email in the cloud.

If you have an email server such as Exchange or Zimbra, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration will not support it.

Support for on-premises email servers would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been used for about a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There have been no issues with its scalability feature; everything is working fine.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support has been awesome, providing prompt responses to all emails.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, a different solution was not used, but access to Barracuda was available.

With Barracuda, manually changing the logs was necessary, which was tedious.

Compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it is much simpler, the dashboard is also simpler, and integration with all cloud email service providers is very simple.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Barracuda was being evaluated.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came in competitively with its competition, making it a good deal.

Fewer employees are needed since there is no requirement to continually check email and quarantine email, and time is also significantly saved.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is one of the best products to purchase if you do not want to compromise on security and want to save time.

This review has been rated with an 8 out of 10.

Prevents account takeovers and reduces phishing risks across collaboration tools

  • November 19, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is protecting against phishing account takeover attempts in platforms like Microsoft 365. Since email is the most common entry point for attacks, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helps us by scanning inbound and outbound messages, blocking malicious links or attachments, and preventing credential theft.

We had a situation where a spoofed email appeared to come from our finance department, asking for urgent payment approval. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration immediately flagged it as suspicious, quarantined it, and alerted our team before anyone could click on the link or respond, preventing what could have been a costly business email compromise.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration also made a significant difference with internal account takeover attempts. In one case, an employee's credentials were phished through a fake login page, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected unusual login behavior from an unfamiliar location, automatically blocked the session, and forced a password reset.

What is most valuable?

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include malware and ransomware defense, which employs sandboxing and behavior analysis to stop advanced malware hiding in attachments or shared files.

The sandboxing feature stands out to me because it combines deep behavioral analysis with pre and post-delivery protection, which many competitors do not offer.

The unified dashboard provides a single view of email and collaboration security events across platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint, reducing the need to jump between multiple consoles.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by preventing phishing attacks and account takeovers in security files and collaboration platforms like Teams and SharePoint, reducing response times through automatic quarantine and post-delivery remediation.

What needs improvement?

Support could be improved, as it is only available in English.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is also effective.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very great and very fast.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution.

What was our ROI?

Time saved and fewer incidents are the relevant metrics for return on investment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been positive, and I feel the price is great with no problems.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great security tool that is very fast and very easy to deploy. I give it an excellent recommendation. I have rated this review nine out of ten.

Effortless Email Protection with Seamless Threat Blocking

  • November 15, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like it because it protects our team across all email tools. It silently blocks phishing and account takeover attempts in the background, so users can continue working normally while the support department has full visibility and the assurance that threats are stopped before they cause problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reports and dashboards could be more intuitive and customizable; sometimes extra effort is required to obtain the exact information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The advantage is that our security team spends less time managing multiple systems and more time on proactive tasks, while employees can collaborate knowing that sensitive data and accounts are protected across all the tools they use daily.

Supports phishing prevention across collaboration tools

  • November 15, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is because I use Microsoft 365 and need to integrate with a great tool for security in order to protect email and other collaboration tools, such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, from phishing, malware, and other account takeover attacks.

What is most valuable?

In the past, when a user copied a file into SharePoint that had malware and shared this file with other users, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against this problem.

In our organization, we rely heavily on Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for cross-department projects, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects internal file sharing and collaboration across multiple departments by automatically scanning shared files and links before they are accessed by colleagues, preventing malware from spreading internally if someone unknowingly uploads a compromised document.

The best feature that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers for me is the zero-day threat prevention because it uses sandboxing, and I am driving analysis to catch unknown threats that traditional email and email security means miss.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been a game changer for our team because sandboxing and zero-day prevention have helped us, and one specific example is a targeted phishing campaign where attackers tried to deliver malicious Excel files with embedded macros; traditionally, those types of files might slip past basic email filters, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration sandboxing detonated the file in a virtual environment, detected the malicious behavior, and blocked it before it reached the user's inbox.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a very positive impact on our organization across security, workflows, and user experience, for example, workflow improvements, as employees spend less time second-guessing suspicious emails because Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration automatically blocks phishing attempts and malicious attachments.

I notice time saved because the technical support team has more time for other activities in the organization with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration active.

What needs improvement?

The documentation is a little unintuitive, and I make an additional effort for the first deployment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very scalable, especially when I use different tools in the Infinity Portal.

How are customer service and support?

I find customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be very great.

I would rate customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration as a nine.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Integrating Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration with our existing systems and tools is easy because of native cloud integration; for example, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration connects directly with Microsoft 365, so we didn't need to install additional gateways or agents, which made the initial deployment much easier.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment in the support department, particularly regarding the time saved.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great because the pricing is normal compared with other tools in the market.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great opportunity for saving your emails and your collaboration tools with the best tool for security. I rate this solution a nine.

Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration and Robust Threat Protection

  • November 14, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Harmony's integration with Microsoft 365 and how it protects our users across different departments from phishing and malware without disrupting their workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think fine-tuning alerts requires some experience and trial and error, especially to find the balance between detecting real threats and avoiding false positives. It would be helpful if the platform offered more guided recommendations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps stop phishing and malware before they reach our users, especially through Microsoft 365 applications like Outlook and Teams.
