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.
Positive
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.
We mainly use this product for Email security, and it has an extremely simple setup. We have it installed at one of our client's locations to detect and respond appropriately to common threats such as phishing, scams, and data leakage. This comprehensive coverage allows us to protect the services running within the organization.
Check Point Harmony Email Collaboration enables us to efficiently and confidently implement necessary solutions for our various email configurations. The support services available are outstanding. When we sought a product demo for Harmony Email and Collaboration, it was very thorough.
The product is incredibly easy to set up and deploy, even across multiple tenants. Once we completed the connection process, we selected our policies and configured them to notify users about spam/phishing emails.
It provides recommendations but also allows for customization to suit our needs. After the initial setup, we rarely need to make adjustments.
We've contacted support a few times, and their responses have been quick and helpful. The user interface is very intuitive, and our technicians didn't need formal training because of how well it's laid out. We've implemented this across multiple tenants and have more than 1,000 users, with fewer than 10 tickets about potential false positives/negatives. This has significantly reduced the number of "Is this Spam" tickets from our customers.
The email security solution boasts an exceptional success rate in filtering out junk, spam, and phishing emails while ensuring that legitimate emails reach their intended recipients. The setup process is straightforward and user-friendly. The vendor is highly engaged with monthly meetings to introduce new features, and the account manager is notably responsive. In addition, the pricing offered is remarkably competitive compared to other options available in the email security market.
The ability to customize based on existing organizational goals, milestones, and current or future state designs is important. Customizable policies regarding how to handle specific email files, their contents, and appropriate remediation steps are critical in product selection. In larger organizations, the sheer volume of emails can be daunting when evaluating solutions. Ensuring the integrity of communications and proper collaboration is crucial to establishing the CIA triad. This solution has reduced insecurities and made scaling this product rather seamless.
Initial Learning Mode takes a while. I would like to have protection go live immediately and then have learning mode kick in after the initial scan Email Search can be clunky at times. It would be nice if there was a way to auto-fill recipients or sender fields with known users' payment options.
We have several clients, and one of them uses the Harmony Email gateway. We also plan to use this product because many of our clients are experiencing issues with their mail gateways and are considering using this product for using it against a variety of Cyber threats including malware and ransomware.
Scalability is 10/10 as with a larger organization, the sheer volume of emails can be quite intimidating when evaluating the scale of solutions. Ensuring the integrity of communications and proper collaboration is critical to establishing the CIA triad. This solution has reduced those insecurities and made scaling this product solution rather seamless.
My impression of the stability is 10/10 for this solution.
So far, we have received very good support for our issues, and the TAC for this product is really good. They provide a solution quickly.

Yes, we have used different products but have switched to this for below features and services.
The solution has an intuitive user interface which makes it easy for users to navigate around. it can streamline our work to become a more efficient organization.
We have an in-house professional services team who do the implementation part for us.
It's worth investing in this solution. We have a client who has recently acquired this solution and they are really happy with this product.
We have multiple clients so do have other vendors as well like Proofpoint and Mimecast.
Overall, we are impressed with how this product allows us to be efficient, confident and successfully implement necessary solutions to our diverse range of email configurations
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.
Positive
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.
