My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to address email threats. It has been effective for our organization by stopping many different kinds of threats, including phishing attacks and ransomware attacks. I am impressed by its AI capabilities because different AI capabilities are incorporated in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. It has been very effective for us, especially when an attacker tries to use AI in their email attack. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been effective in stopping those kinds of alerts and giving us insights about what is happening in an email alert. The AI features in email security within Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration have been particularly effective for us.

Regarding specific incidents where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's AI features stopped threats, we receive notifications whenever there is a new alert through email to the admin. Whenever there is an alert, we go to the dashboard to check what kind of alerts it has and proceed with the investigation. The system has a very nice dashboard with a clear layout when investigating incidents, showing email profiles and attack types. In the relationship section, it shows different AI indicators that confirm why a threat was stopped and what AI features are at play, indicating AI threats evident in the email. This helps us during investigations as it is easy to see different indicators and decide whether a threat requires quarantine or whether it's a true positive or false positive.

The first standout feature is that it's an API-based email security solution. It took us hardly half a day to get it deployed and set up, compared to other email securities such as Barracuda Email Security which takes days to fully deploy due to inbound and outbound connector setup requirements. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was protecting our incoming, outgoing, and internal emails within half a day of deployment. Another impressive feature is that it offers API-based inline protection, unlike Trend Micro Email Security which wasn't inline, meaning emails would first go to the inbox before being removed if threats were found.

The incorporated AI capabilities are particularly notable, functioning as AI versus AI. It has protected us from various threats and has a nice dashboard that shows if anything is missed by MS 365. For instance, last week we received an email flagged as safe by Microsoft, but Check Point flagged it. Upon investigation, we found it had a malicious attachment, and Check Point provided a full report highlighting the malicious indicators.

The positive impact includes a clear reduction in threats and improved detection capabilities. The dashboard is impressive, neat, and clean, showing all information about threats on the initial landing page. The analytics are very good, particularly the ability to identify real source IPs, which was a distinguishing factor from Trend Micro.

The URL emulation and real-time on-click protection are impressive features. When we receive a malicious document, it can sanitize the document by removing malicious elements while maintaining benign content. The user-to-admin interaction feature for managing quarantined emails is also noteworthy. We utilize analytics to generate reports, helping us pinpoint types of threats and their origin, which has been instrumental in implementing targeted training programs.

Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable.

While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

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

We have used their support and rate it highly. We opted for the 24/7 premium support, which is very responsive and quick whenever we have configuration challenges or other inquiries.

We previously used Barracuda and decided to switch to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because Barracuda was unable to detect a range of threats that we can now identify thanks to Check Point's capabilities. The switch was primarily due to Check Point's API-based email security, which stood out during our evaluation.

Deployment of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was genuinely impressive and easy. You just needed the Microsoft admin credentials to set it up. After providing those credentials, you receive the options for automatic or manual deployment. When we chose automatic deployment, everything was successfully set up in about 10 to 15 minutes, followed by the application of default policies. Deployment was actually really straightforward for us.

After deployment, the configuration process was not challenging at all. We did not encounter any issues. The primary thing we had to do was change the default policy from detection mode to prevention mode after a few days. Initially, it only detected issues, but per guidance from Check Point and based on best practice documents, we switched to prevention mode. Moving to that mode was easy, and we quickly began seeing emails being quarantined and prevented, making the process quite smooth.

We have not faced any challenges integrating it with syslog and other services. The integration experience has been very good and seamless.

We have seen a clear return on investment. The time saved during investigations is significant due to the neat dashboard that organizes everything related to alerts. It doesn't require many people to investigate alerts effectively.

Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I found it competitive. Check Point provided discounts, making the pricing reasonable with respect to the features they offer. The pricing is very justifiable, neither exceptionally high nor exceedingly low.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we evaluated Trend Micro email security, but faced several challenges, such as an inability to support email banners and provide real source IP addresses, which we found lacking. Ultimately, we found that Check Point offered far better features, is stable and scalable.

My advice to others considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is straightforward. If you're looking for email security that is easy to deploy without disrupting your production environment, this is a great choice. With traditional gateway-based email security, you often have to deal with changing MX records and setting up various connectors, which can be a cumbersome process for administrators. This isn't an issue with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. In just about 10 minutes, one can set it up and get going with the required administrative credentials. Besides ease of deployment, it also offers a range of features that enable detection of malware, phishing attacks, business compromise emails, and other email threats effectively. It has been a very capable solution, and I haven't faced any challenges concerning threats after nearly a year of usage. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine because it satisfies all our requirements. The tool has effectively triggered various threats, which has increased our productivity in areas such as investigation, threat detection, and analytics. The user interaction has also improved, yielding benefits that contribute to a very valuable package for us.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration involves protecting against email threats that are present in the current landscape, and it has been effective for our organization, stopping many different kinds of threats for us, including phishing attacks and ransomware attacks, and this effectiveness has made me particularly impressed by the AI capabilities because it helps stop AI-driven email attacks and provides insights about alerts.

Regarding a specific incident where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's AI features stopped a threat, we receive most alerts via email notifications to the admin, and whenever there is an alert, we check the dashboard to investigate. The dashboard presents various kinds of threats and AI indicators that confirm why threats were stopped, allowing us to easily determine whether to quarantine an email based on its classification as a true positive or false positive.

One specific example of a threat caught recently involved an email that was triggered safe by Microsoft, but Check Point triggered an alert because it contained a malicious attachment, which we confirmed through the report that showed the indicators of the threat.

Checkpoint Harmony email and collaboration has significantly improved our email security by effectively blocking phishing, malware and ransomware threats.

We are also benefitting from the centralized management console that has improved visibility and made it easier to enforce consistent policies.

The best features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration that stand out to me include its API-based email security, which allowed us to deploy it quickly compared to Barracuda, and its ability to protect not just incoming and outgoing emails but also internal emails.

The positive impact of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration on our organization includes a noticeable reduction in threats, as we are now able to detect different kinds of threats that we could not before, alongside an impressive dashboard that provides analytics on phishing emails and malware threats, which helps us understand what alerts we could have missed without this solution.

While checkpoint Harmony Email and collaboration offers useful analytics, there is potential for improvement in providing deeper insights. More granular , detailed analytics on email traffics, threat patterns, and user behavior would help our team better understand risks and make informed decisions. Additionally, enhancing reporting capabilities with customizable and advanced analytics feature would greatly improve our ability to detect trends and proactivly address emerging threats. There improvements would offer a clearer, more comprehensive view of our email security landscape.
