Phishing emails significantly drop with effective filtering features
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are definitely the phishing filtering.
The phishing filtering feature is valuable for me because it stops most of the phishing emails before they hit the users' inboxes, ensuring that users don't see the infected or phishing emails. It's really good at its job, so it stops at least 99% of the emails that come into our organization.
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization as it has definitely cut down on the amount of phishing emails that are being delivered to users' inboxes.
We have seen a drastic number of reductions of successful phishing attacks, with metrics showing it stops about 99% of the attempted emails before they hit the user's inbox.
What needs improvement?
I don't think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration needs improvement; it just does what it's supposed to do.
I don't want to add more about the needed improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been very stable for me; I haven't noticed any downtime at all, and even if there's downtime, it fails open, so it won't impact emails.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is good, as you pay per user, so it scales automatically as the organization grows.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate the customer support a four, maximum, because I have had to reach out to them, and it wasn't great. I ended up with a technician that didn't actually know how to resolve the issue and was just doing basic level one troubleshooting, so it was very time-consuming to work with them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Microsoft Defender before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but we switched because it was very time-consuming to tune properly, and also, most of the emails were delivered to users' inboxes and then removed afterwards.
How was the initial setup?
My advice for others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that it's very easy to set up. I think the setup was done in 30 minutes, so if you decide to go for it, there's not much consideration to be done, actually.
What was our ROI?
I have definitely seen a return on investment, as there are fewer incidents after deploying this software. We have gone from three to four successful phishing attacks every year to a maximum of one.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that it's licensed per user, and the price is fair. The pricing is very good and easy.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.
What other advice do I have?
I can give a specific example of how Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped me stop phishing or spam. We bought this product because Microsoft Defender let through phishing attempts, and one of our users clicked that one. So we looked for a vendor to assist us with additional filtering on our incoming emails. Since we implemented Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it's been great. It stops most, if not all, of the phishing attacks against us.
I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a 10 out of 10.
