Our team primarily uses Google Workspace for email, so we were looking for a solution that could protect us from spam, phishing attacks, and other email threats. 

Harmony Email fits the bill perfectly because it's an API-based product that doesn't require any MX record or other configuration changes. It's also very easy to use and manage, even for non-technical users.

I appreciate the ease of deployment and the intuitive dashboard. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily understand the dashboard and identify potential threats. With one hour of training, anyone can effectively use this product.

There are a few areas for improvement. One is the occasional sluggishness or latency, which is likely due to the cloud-based nature of the solution. So, the performance can be better.

Additionally, while Harmony Email can detect phishing emails that Google has missed, it would be even better if it could automatically quarantine or delete these emails.

Since we use multiple Google Workspace accounts across three separate domains, it would be incredibly helpful if Check Point Harmony Email could provide a single dashboard that consolidates all of this information. 

Additionally, Harmony Email should support other email providers beyond Microsoft and Google, as I also use Joho with over a thousand email IDs.

Having a unified dashboard and expanding support to other email providers would significantly enhance the product's usability for many users.

Currently, I have to rely on a separate gateway solution, like Cisco, to protect my Joho emails. It would be much more convenient if Harmony Email could handle all of my email protection needs.

I've been using Harmony Email for about four or five months now.

It is cloud-based, so the performance is low. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. It is stable but the performance is low.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. We have 300+ end users using this solution. 

The customer service and support are not very prompt like SonicWall and other vendors in the same space. Perhaps because Check Point is not as prominent in my region, their SLA is not terrible. It's just not very effective. 

For instance, if I need support within 15 or 30 minutes, it won't happen. It could take up to four hours. 

Neutral

I initially started with Cisco Gateway. However, due to ongoing changes, we would have needed to modify MX records or other settings, making the configuration more complex. 

As a result, we decided to try Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration, and after conducting a proof of concept (POC), we decided to deploy it. We also checked Barracuda.

So, we chose Check Point over Barracuda during the POC. The primary reason was that Check Point Harmony Email is easy to configure and requires no MX record changes. 

Additionally, it's more effective because it's an AI-based solution. It provides insights into the origin of emails, the connection between the sender and receiver, their previous email history, and the frequency of their communication. These features are unique to Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration.

The initial setup is very simple because only API configuration was there. We provide a user and password on our dashboard, and we can use it remotely. 

It took only 10 to 15 minutes to deploy. Initially, it takes time to collect the data and create timelines. The solution doesn't require any maintenance. 

The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market. 

It's more expensive than Barracuda but less expensive than Cisco. So, I would give it a rating of six out of ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the product for endpoint security features.

The product's environment is easy to work and comprehensive.

The product's pricing needs improvement. 

We have Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for five months.

The product is stable.

We deploy it on the cloud; we use an infinity portal for the process. It takes a day to complete.

We implement the product with the help of an in-house specialist in our company.

The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a seven or eight. There is room for improvement.

I rate CheckPoint Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine out of ten. Even though it is an expensive product, it works efficiently. I advise others to do industry-related research and evaluate the products to suit business requirements regarding pricing and the number of users.

We use the solution to prevent any phishing emails from reaching out to the end users. We also use it for URL protection and DLP, to protect the end users from ransomware attacks, and to avoid any issues that halt business activities.

We used to have another solution for email security and we used to find so many issues while using it. We could not stop some phishing emails from getting into the user's mailbox and were worried about losing data. We had to work on fine-tuning the solution all the time to avoid the issues. We came to know about Check Point and wanted to try for email security.

We have blocked more phishing emails since we started using Check Point. The solution works brilliantly in filtering and the amount of information provided is unmatched and helped us in various ways. 

The Explore page provides multiple options for searching for emails and other information. Quarantine/removing from Quarantine has become so easy with search options

The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails. 

Check Point has become our go-to solution for most of our issues.

We like the email search options, availability of information on various aspects, algorithms, and AI models that provide pretty useful data - and the list goes on!

The email search/explore option helped us find the required emails and logs easily with multiple filters to use. 

Information provided in each and every email is very useful for investigating any activity. We do not have to use multiple websites for that information since everything is provided in Check Point itself. 

AI-based models and algorithms provide more accurate and useful information.

It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files. That will help in creating more filters and analyzing the data.

Providing more Training videos and documentation will be helpful for beginners to understand how checkpoint works. 

I've used the solution for the past eight months.

We used some other email security tools and we used to have multiple issues with email filtering and available information. We do not see any of those issues after using Check Point.

We are good with the licensing.

We directly chose Check Point since we could not find any better alternative.

It is the perfect one-stop solution for securing the organization!

We use the solution for SaaS protection for 10,000 Gsuite users. How collaborators process data with sensitive information and information leaks was a constant concern. The collaboration solution allows you to have visibility of the entire SaaS environment and create customized security profiles to give optimal treatment to the information. This solution allows you to have very granular visibility at all times; this is of utmost importance as it allows you to make immediate and precise decisions about the security environment.

This solution has allowed us to have visibility of the security environment for the business and has allowed us to have specific treatment by users, user groups, and departments of the information that is processed. This allows users to be certain that their information is protected. Certain security problems were detected. Without this solution at the SaaS level would have been impossible to detect so there has been an improvement in the treatment of the attack surface and the protection of valuable data.

There are several features that were considered valuable. For example, the fact that the installation and integration of the solution with SaaS tools were very fast and highly recognized by SaaS administrators. I like the fact that having granular information about the potential threats is received in email. Being able to protect information repositories was of great interest to decision-makers. It was also possible to implement an entire environment in record time. Having this information allowed us to better model the attacking surface.

They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment). 

Reports should be presented in such a way that they are readable by non-technical work groups who are involved in information protection and who may misread the information on the dashboard and make incorrect decisions.

I've used the solution for four months.

The product is very stable; it is a cloud solution and we have not had any operational incidents.

The solution is very scalable since you only have to add licenses.

They offer good support; you have several support options depending on the SLA you need.

Positive

The setup is very straightforward and very fast; it took about 20 minutes.

The setup involved a mix of personnel and Check Point SE are experts in the area of ​​security.

The setup was very fast; the license scheme was very easy to understand.

We also evaluated the PAN solution and Fortinet.

I consider it to be a cost-effective solution that focuses on security and is a highly recommended and easy-to-use option.

We use the solution for the protection of email from phishing attacks, spam, and malicious email-related activities. 

It detects and blocks the most advanced phishing attacks across inbound, outbound, and internal communications, in real-time, before the attack succeeds.  

The solution is used for email protection, providing IT administrators with a great amount of information about possible attacks faced by the organization, and logins by users. 

It also has a high level of detail in its reports, facilitating the management and detection of possible threats to the security of the organization.

With the addition of the DMARC module, it makes it much easier to monitor the security policies applied and provides visual information about the type of traffic received, avoiding domain spoofing.

The number of phishing and spam emails has decreased and email security has improved by 80%. The IT team has noticed a great improvement in the number of emails received and a decrease in attacks. The helpful alerts generated by HEC facilitate the management and response. 

Thanks to its dashboard, it displays detailed information about detected activities, suspicious logins, span deletions, or phishing detected and blocked with a high level of detail. The level of reporting detail facilitates threat management; now the organization has an additional layer of protection for end users.

The ease of management and intuitive administration are excellent. Thanks to its dashboard, the most valuable thing is the detection capability provided by this solution. The level of detail offered by Harmony is unique, to the point of showing the differences between what is detected by Office 365 and what is detected by HEC. The organization relies on this email security solution and facilitates the protection of all end users, decreasing security breaches by malicious actors.

The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter. It could be improved to obtain a greater level of detail, unlike Office 365, which offers an extreme level of detail and facilitates the management and comparison of what is happening with respect to the mail. Its integration with Gsuite is simpler and has that point against it, however high levels of detail can be obtained in the reports of the solution. On the other hand, the ease of administration and threat detection capabilities are its strong points, and it stands out from other solutions that I have had the opportunity to test before.

Currently, this solution has been used for the last tree years.

My company uses Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to provide security for Office 365 email and collaboration apps like Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other related tools.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers.

The solution fails to support hybrid deployments.

Currently, the solution supports cloud email only. It would be great if they could also support hybrid deployments.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for three years. My company has a partnership with Check Point.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since there were a few minor issues that were quickly resolved while the uptime of the product has not been 100 percent.

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

I would say that probably around 50 percent of our customer base uses the solution.

The solution's technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

I rate the product's initial setup a nine out of ten since the setup phase is seamless 99 percent of the time. If the end user customized the Office 365 tenant a lot, then a manual setup might be required.

The solution is deployed on the public cloud while supporting cloud services from Google and Microsoft.

The deployment process of the solution takes about five minutes. It would probably take ten minutes if we consider from start to finish of the deployment process.

For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Harmony Email & Collaboration module and then provide the credentials to your Office 365 tenant, following which the integration process starts.

I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

It is a reasonably priced product offering good value for money.

I would say that since Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration provides a two-week evaluation option, it's very easy to integrate into your environment in a read-only mode so that it doesn't interfere with your email. It just scans and then provides you a report afterward of the threats your solution has missed and what Check Point would have caught.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a fantastic solution.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

The solution helps to block spam emails. With this solution, the users mostly see what the solution posts on its dashboard. This helps users analyze the spam and data.

The solution can be easily integrated and takes a short time to be implemented.  In addition, it provides a feature that prevents information from leaking from the company and blocks potential threats.

The left-hand feature can be made more granular for the implementation of the policy. Our clients want two solutions integrated into one, so this feature would help.

I have been using Check Point Harmony for two years. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. 

The technical support team is good. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment requires two people and can be done in less than a week. I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten.

The solution is very intuitive, the deployment time is short, it has detailed documentation, and has a good support team. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution to protect Office 365 and Gmail.

The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature.

A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email. It works right most of the time.

I've worked with this solution for around a year.

The solution is stable, and I rate its stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable, and I rate its scalability a ten out of ten. Both enterprises and SMBs use this solution.

Technical support for the solution is good.

Positive

It is easy to set up the solution. Deploying the solution takes five minutes.

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.

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.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration allows me to monitor the activities in the environment. I can check if there are any phishing or spam emails with its efficient reporting features.

It's been an awesome experience working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment. It gives me insights into the number of tools required to block malicious websites. 

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.

Additionally, it offers 100% protection for unified communication or collaboration to prevent hacking incidents like the Zoom hack.

They must provide security to Rediffmail and other email service providers. At present, it is limited to only two email services. They should also offer additional protection to Zoom, Cisco Webex, BlueJeans, and StarLeaf.

We have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for five to six days. However, we have been using Check Point for five to six years.

I rate the platform’s stability a ten out of ten.
