We use two solutions: Check Point Gateway and Harmony Email & Collaboration.

We primarily use it for IDS and threat protection, as well as VPN.

It's very easy to deploy with Microsoft Office 365.

The option to set a copy is beneficial. Additionally, the solution scans OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint content and provides a full report.

If I store any malicious file in my cloud storage, it will give me detailed information in the Check Point console, including which DLL is infected. That's a very useful feature.

I'm satisfied with the product as it is, especially regarding security.

The reporting could be improved. Also, the predefined workflows cannot be changed. It would be great to add custom workflows to better suit customer requirements.

I've been working with Check Point for the last four years. I perform day-to-day operational tasks with it.

It is stable.

It is scalable. There are around 300 end users.

It's a cloud-based SaaS application, so it doesn't need to be deployed in multiple locations. We integrated it with our existing email solution, and all our email traffic is routed through it.

The customer service and support are very good.

I've worked with Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, and Barracuda Email Security.

The pros include quick implementation time and easy policy deployment. Security is also good, as Check Point provides multiple security engines and inline data security. As for cons, having the option for custom workflows would be a great improvement.

I completed the initial setup in about 15 minutes, by myself. It was very easy. There's no need for improvement.

We share product white papers with our customers, understand customers' needs and current email infrastructure, and design a solution before pitching to them. We also create a project timeline for the POC and implementation.

It's easy to integrate, as it supports both cloud-based platforms, O365 and Google Workspace. If you have basic knowledge of your email platform, you can easily integrate the product.

Check Point takes care of the maintenance. It doesn't require any maintenance.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is beneficial for customers. It brings in the value.

It provides enhanced email content security to prevent external attacks.

I run the proof of concept and submit a report to management. They handle discussions with customers and coordinate with the Check Point sales team.

I would recommend it.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Some emails, specifically false positive emails, are, at times, detected by Microsoft under the phishing category. Check Point also detects phishing emails. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a tool that does not pass emails through the user's inbox, even if it feels like an email is not spam or involves phishing. Suppose a tool like Microsoft Defender detects any phishing activity. In such scenarios, emails are quarantined by Microsoft, and then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration cannot pass such emails to the user. I feel it is an area that can be improved. There are good options with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as one can still quarantine suspicious emails, and the users can see those in just a few clicks. The false positives are an area where the tool can introduce certain improvements they can improve by releasing emails to a user's inbox if it feels that there are certain areas consisting of false positives.

In the future, it would be great if it is possible to use the tool with Microsoft to help in the area revolving around false positives. Check Point should be able to release emails to the inbox even if there are some phishing emails. If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option. They have an option for spam emails but not for the emails associated with phishing.

I have four months of experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. I am unsure about the tool's version, but I know it is a cloud platform. The technical people handling Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration take care of the upgrades.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Around 500 people use the tool in my company. Two administrators are needed for the tool.

The product's usage would have to be increased if the organization grows.

The technical support for the solution is good because, so far, I have seen that they are very fast. I raised only a couple of tickets in the last four months, so it is not much, but I have seen that the support team is good. The product is very simple to manage and is not very complicated. It is a very straightforward tool. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

I know that my company was using a custom Linux-based system. I am not sure if it was managed by different administrators in our office. As it was a legacy system, my company wanted to go for a professional one that is more of a cloud-based solution.

The product's initial setup phase is very simple and automated. Everything can be made ready within a few clicks.

As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part.

Our organization was comparing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration with Proofpoint, which is an expensive tool, making it not so cost-effective for non-profit organizations like ours, where we have our budget limitations.

My company had Mimecast and Proofpoint as optional products when we evaluated the tools in the market, but we didn't go with the proof of concept model for both. Proofpoint was expensive when compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was a little bit better compared to Mimecast.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good, especially if you use Microsoft 365. The tool works well with Microsoft 365, which is why I feel it is a good product, as it offers compatibility. I can recommend Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration if you are a Microsoft 365 customer.

My company has never tried to see if Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is compatible with other products. In our organization, we just write this Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, which is our first product as an email security platform. We were satisfied with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I would recommend the product to others. If people don't use Microsoft 365, then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration won't be a compatible tool in their environment. Exchange Online users can use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The customer has a presence in different countries like India, Poland, and the US. They use Office 365 as an email solution, and on top of that, they use Harmony Email & Collaboration.

All API email security or gateway security solutions work the same as API based. You create an API with the vendor, and it works for all the same. It's just the approach of threat intelligence, how it is taken and how much threat intelligence you have.

Pushing was a big challenge for email security. Cisco has done that, but now Check Point is also doing the same with the quarantine email. So, it's good. Previously, they didn't have the ability to find and detect the quarantine email, but they are doing it now.

The most valuable feature is the sandboxing feature. It provides a sandboxing environment where you can open links and see where they lead. You can see what is presented in the link after opening it.

Other advantages, like workflow integration, are quite simple and offered by other vendors as well. Cisco is also integrating virus totals into their products.

But the key advantage here is the visibility you get with the sandboxing feature.

You can see on a map, on the same dashboard, where the mail originated, where it is going, and from which relay servers. You can see everything visually on the portal, including who it's reaching and who is CCed or BCCed.

Every vendor has a different approach. But as far as I have seen with Check Point, it is quite easy and simple to manage. They have the DLP solution integrated with this email. For example, for email, DLP is zero.

Maybe Check Point can work on the DLP part. Proofpoint's email DLP is very good, so they can work on that more.

I have been using it for six months.

Stability is not too bad. It's not glitchy.

Scalability is good. You can add users at any time. You can have hundreds of users in there. No issues or restrictions here.

The customer service and support are okay.

Compared to other solutions, users have the advantage of cost because Check Point is very easy to handle. You can easily train anyone on Check Point. It's not complex.

It's quite simple. Straightforward provisioning is required. You have to do it with a vendor, like Office 365 or G Suite, and you are good to go. Just onboard the users, and that's it.

You can deploy it in a day. For the refinement of the tool, it takes a little bit of time because all email security works by first keeping it on monitor mode and monitoring what you are getting as spam. You do an audit. It takes time with this. But for the configuration part, you can do it in a single day.

For deployment, one person is enough. For maintenance, you need two or three people to check spam. Sometimes, emails get blocked, and users request them to be unblocked. You have to verify those things. But for deployment, one person is enough.

It's a SaaS portal, so you don't have any maintenance issues because it's all done by the backend OEMs.

There is an ROI. In the long run, you will have saved money because it's a cloud-based portal with no maintenance issues.

Compared to other vendors, the pricing is average. I guess FortiMail is a little cheaper.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend using it because it is easy to use and manage.
