Intuitive user interface and streamlined malware management enhance efficiency
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
HEC has improved efficiency many times as its integration with M365 now puts all of these emails in one spot instead of having to create rules twice.
What is most valuable?
The user interface of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very intuitive and straightforward. The search functionality is very simple, and pretty much anyone can use it. The quarantine and release functionality for malware and junk mail is much more simplified than with previous products. It has reduced effort in tickets and manpower not needing to do this for people who would have to normally put in a ticket.
What needs improvement?
The portal site is a bit slow at times. Plus, all new functions seem to be 'add-ons' instead of just being part of the platform. This is not how I view a subscription.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for two 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?
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very scalable as it integrates with O365 cloud.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service is very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Proofpoint. We switched because Proofpoint was not catching nearly as many items, and it was very burdensome to administer.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been positive. The product is just as expensive as the previous product, but it saves time and effort all around.
