The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are great inline email protection, ease of setup with Microsoft 365, nice tools for searching for emails, reviewing fish alerts, and its ability to play nicely with KnowBe4 simulated phishing and other vendors of simulated phishing out of the box, along with very informative diagnostics about how Check Point categorizes any individual email I pull up.

Out of all those features, the most valuable to my team is the email protection because it effectively secures our email communication.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization with fewer impersonation attempts getting through and fewer invoice scams.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because the console is very slow to navigate, pages are not responsive, and it can be a little confusing to set up initially when you're coming from a different vendor such as Mimecast, plus it seems to let through quite a bit more unsolicited spam than we used to see with Mimecast.

The console issues mainly involve a general performance problem.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for less than a year.

In my experience, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is fine; we have not needed to scale up or down, though I have mentioned that the performance is not the best.

I have found the customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to be excellent for the setup we did, although we haven't had much experience beyond that.

I previously used Mimecast before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, and we switched because we had many sister company peer reviews of Check Point Harmony that were glowing and also because it was less expensive.

The deployment of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration in my environment was easy while working with their customer success team.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration integrates with Microsoft 365 really well; it is easy to set up, manages transport rules and groups for you automatically, and you don't have to do anything manually in there.

The integration also really nicely shows me what Microsoft 365 decides about each individual email that comes in and what Check Point does afterward.

I have seen a return on investment since switching as we're probably spending close to half as much as we were on Mimecast; however, it doesn't really have an ROI because it's a security product.

I choose nine because the performance has some downsides and negatives that keep it from being a perfect ten.

A quick tip I would suggest is to see if you can get a demo because Check Point Harmony will do a full demo without even switching away from your old email protection.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is for protecting emails which are incoming and outgoing, for any attachments or malicious email, protecting from malicious email, phishing emails, and any malicious attachments coming from the emails. HEC is implemented inline and is integrated with Office 365, protecting around 34,000 users who are behind HEC.

Additionally, the DLP feature is implemented for the users, allowing control over whatever the users are trying to upload on the SaaS applications or anything else that can be controlled by HEC.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that only clean emails are delivered to users, around 34,000 users are being protected by HEC. If HEC finds any malicious content in the email, that will be blocked, and only clean emails will be delivered, saving time from unnecessary disruptions in the network, and eventually helping the organization to grow.

I have definitely noticed a reduction in phishing mails and other malicious attachments because HEC is set inline, blocking all kinds of malicious emails and only delivering safe mail to the end users. I can say that thousands of malicious or phishing mails are getting blocked at the edge for around 34,000 users.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers in my experience include integration with the sandbox HEC in the backend, which uses checkpoint sandboxing capabilities to detect zero-day attacks, and it has a unique capability of protecting password-protected files, being able to scan for password-protected attachments. Furthermore, internal scanning and impersonation are also good features about the Check Point HEC.

Administering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy, as the policies are straightforward and we can simply go with the standard best practice options which are predefined. These options are easy to implement and configure, with the integration with Office 365 also being straightforward.

Currently, Check Point HEC supports only Microsoft Office 365 and Google Sheets. In today's world, some clients are using old email service provider solutions, so it would be better if HEC also provides support for third-party email service solutions, such as IBM HCL Notes, creating more opportunities.

The UI is user-friendly, which seems fine, and I don't have any additional thoughts about needed improvements.
