Email protection has cut phishing and spam, and security teams gain time for other issues
Pros and Cons
  • "After we organized it with the consulting company and set the first rules, after one week the system seemed to have learned the company's pattern, and we managed to achieve a reduction of almost eighty to ninety percent on spam and false emails, which was very good at the time."

    What is our primary use case?

    At the moment, most solutions I have been working on are cloud-based, so I do not know if it will be in any of the solutions being reviewed.

    Based on what I usually used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for, it is an edge boarding solution to prevent spam, viruses, and other kinds of intrusions from gaining access from the internet to services that are published on the internet. It also protects internal networks, ensuring only the services that are supposed to be talking to each other do so, and provides VPN access for people who are working remotely. On the Harmony side, it was mainly email filters. After we organized it with the consulting company and set the first rules, after one week the system seemed to have learned the company's pattern. So at that time, we managed to achieve a reduction of almost eighty to ninety percent on spam and false emails, which was very good at the time. Later on, once Harmony also integrated with OneDrive, we were also able to stop viruses and files from getting infected inside the OneDrive services as well.

    Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a significant impact on phishing attack mitigation. It reduced phishing attacks quite a bit. One of the other preventative measures we implemented was teaching people how to detect those kinds of emails, and we were able to reduce phishing incidents quite a bit because the system was detecting most of the phishing emails that we were receiving. However, we still needed to ensure that on both sides, both the system and the user were able to detect those kinds of emails so they do not fall into traps.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration include the artificial intelligence, which even before artificial intelligence was popular, was very good because once we programmed the first rules, it learned automatically the patterns of trusted and untrusted emails. It was much easier to manage false positives and spam and those kinds of emails. As I mentioned before, it reduced eighty percent of spam and false emails. Overall, for applying whitelists and rules on it, it was pretty easy because it also integrated quite well with Microsoft's own security systems, especially in the case of Microsoft 365, so we would not have one system onboarding the other; they would work very well together.

    I think artificial intelligence-powered threat intelligence in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration acts pretty well on the preventive side, which allows us to be more proactive in terms of what domains are trustworthy and which ones are not. We had another case where initially it was blocking a lot of emails from China, but once we were able to filter out which domains were trustworthy, the system learned that those emails were trustworthy and would not tag them as suspicious. I thought it was pretty proactive once certain users get new emails from new domains they have never received before, where the first email does not characterize as suspicious but is monitored to ensure we are aware that this user is now receiving emails from this domain. If the patterns or the attachments inside the email show us to be untrustworthy, then it characterizes it as a suspicious email or, in the worst-case scenario, as spam or phishing email.

    Robust inspection technologies in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration have helped me safeguard shared files in my collaborative environment. They make us much more aware of the files that are coming in and out, and we have following rules to ensure that they meet the standards as well.

    What needs improvement?

    I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could improve or enhance integration with other systems. I know at the moment it works pretty well with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Perhaps in the future, there might be solutions as well that work with on-premise email solutions. Also, in Brazil, if I am not mistaken, at the moment, there are still only servers in the US and Europe, so it would be nice if Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration had services in Latin America as well.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for the past five years.

    907,731 professionals have used our research since 2012.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was very stable and reliable for me.

    I do not remember any outages or limitations with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I evaluate that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was quite scalable. We started with one hundred users when we began using the solution. When I left the project, they were getting close to two hundred fifty users. It is quite scalable, but we just have to be aware of the licensing costs accordingly. Otherwise, as a cloud solution, we do not have to worry too much about resources other than paying for the necessary licensing.

    How are customer service and support?

    I mostly communicated with the consultants representing Check Point rather than with their technical support. I only communicated with them mostly about the firewall side, not Harmony, for most things. After everything was set up and in production, my communication was mainly for improvements and questions about new functionalities that were introduced later.

    I did not have such serious issues that required me to reach out to technical support or customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. The one time was when a user was looking for some emails that were not arriving. When we checked on Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we discovered the issue was on the Microsoft side, which was blocking the email. However, since Harmony integrates well with the security services of Microsoft, we can unblock those emails directly from Harmony.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we used to use the built-in tools that Exchange on-premise had.

    We decided to switch from the previous solution to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because we needed to improve the way we reacted to emails. Since the company relies heavily on emails for both internal and external communication, we needed to ensure we had a good and viable solution that allowed us to concentrate on other problems as well.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup process for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was pretty easy to set up on the Microsoft side, both for the proof of concept and for the production environment.

    What about the implementation team?

    I participated in the initial setup of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

    Nothing offhand comes to mind regarding challenges or complexities during the setup process. We followed the instructions in the manual and from the consultants, and everything went smoothly.

    What was our ROI?

    I have definitely seen a return on investment with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. On the administrative side, both my team and I used to spend much less time troubleshooting phishing, malware, and other email-related issues because of that solution. We gained much more time to address other issues beyond troubleshooting.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    So far, the pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good for what it does. There is always room for improvements, but I think it is a fair price.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Other than Check Point, I did not evaluate other options or vendors extensively. I played a little bit with Acronis, which has a similar solution, but I had only done tests with it. They are mainly a backup solution but have also expanded into other services. Comparing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to Acronis, Acronis still has a couple of improvements to do, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration works pretty well on the detection of emails.

    What other advice do I have?

    I have not utilized the automated incident response feature.

    I think we used Microsoft's own real-time URL reputation analysis. I do not remember if we ended up integrating Harmony or if it was part of the package or not, but I do not remember using it.

    I was an administrator and I also helped integrate the solution.

    I would rate this review as a nine out of ten overall.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    Email protection has stopped sophisticated phishing and now keeps our team focused on priorities
    Pros and Cons
      • "I chose nine because I'm not quite sure anything is a ten; I don't really know how to answer that, but the ten leaves room for improvement."

      What is our primary use case?

      My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is email security, specifically for phishing and malicious emails.

      A quick specific example of how I use it for email security is that it has done an excellent job at stopping malicious emails and phishing emails; it has helped us stop some sophisticated attacks.

      A specific incident where Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helped us prevent a sophisticated attack involved being targeted by a Russian ransomware gang that compromised a partner's email; they were sending emails to our staff, and not only did Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration stop it, it gave us visibility into the attack and let us know we were under attack.

      What is most valuable?

      The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include stopping phishing attacks, keeping marketing emails and junk emails, as well as malicious emails out of our users' inboxes, which frees up time for our security team to focus on other issues.

      When I mention that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration frees up time for our security team, it has significantly changed our workflow because we don't worry about phishing or malicious emails; previously, we would spend several hours a day or multiple hours a week dealing with phishing emails.

      Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by keeping us safe, out of the news, and preventing us from having to be reactive to malicious phishing emails, allowing us to be proactive with the product instead.

      Since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we have seen an amazing reduction in malicious emails; it is rare that we get a true phishing email that gets through, and very few do.

      What needs improvement?

      I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent for what it does; it keeps us safe, and we don't worry about phishing and malicious emails, so I'm not quite sure what they could do better, honestly.

      I chose nine because I'm not quite sure anything is a ten; I don't really know how to answer that, but the ten leaves room for improvement.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about eight to nine years.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration definitely scales; our organization has around 40,000 to 35,000 mailboxes.

      How are customer service and support?

      The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been excellent; they have been very proactive in adding new features and helping with any issues.

      How would you rate customer service and support?

      Positive

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      We previously used Microsoft G3, but it missed way too many phishing emails and malicious emails, so we had to add another layer to block what Microsoft was missing.

      How was the initial setup?

      The advice I would give to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is that they need to look at it; the setup is super simple, and it works directly inline on O365; you can run it alongside any other platform you currently have, and it will tell you what you are missing, so I would say you absolutely must look at it.

      What was our ROI?

      I have definitely seen a return on investment since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it does an amazing job at catching malicious emails without us having to do anything and without any input from our team.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was smooth, easy, and affordable.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      We did evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but I don't remember what they were since it was a long time ago.

      What other advice do I have?

      I would add that it has been very effective in our team not having to spend time chasing reported phishing attacks; we hardly see users report receiving malicious emails, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration does an amazing job at stopping the emails from reaching the users.

      Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is deployed in our organization in the cloud; I would say it's in the public cloud, but I am not sure if it's public or private. We use a private cloud provider.

      I would say that their built-in AI does a fantastic job at stopping new threats, which is another strong feature of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

      I gave this review a rating of nine.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Private Cloud

      If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

      Has prevented threats effectively and gives detailed visibility across connected devices
      Pros and Cons
        • "Sometimes they do not provide immediate assistance, and it can take time for them to respond."

        What is our primary use case?

        My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration involves using a Check Point 1800 Quantum Spark, which is not available in the options. I have used this Check Point as a firewall that is attached to my on-premises office, saving all my functions from malware attacks and various threat attacks.

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has saved me from many threats and malware, and since I attached this Check Point in my office premises, I haven't faced any glitches or issues.

        I do not have anything else to add about my main use case or any other ways it has helped my organization.

        What is most valuable?

        In my experience, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers great features, including a comprehensive dashboard where I can see everything easily in the admin interface. The dashboard shows details about mobile devices, phone devices, smart watches, each in different categories, which allows for easy identification. I have used different firewalls before that don't have options such as this, and Check Point includes this very good function.

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization significantly. Earlier, when I used a different kind of firewall without multi-layer functions, my users faced issues often. However, since Check Point came into my office premises, it helps me substantially by detecting malware threats and ransomware threats, stopping them at the firewall itself before they reach the end user.

        I have noticed many positive changes since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. Previously, we received many support calls from users regarding malware threats and issues indicated by exclamation symbols. Now, whenever any user attempts to access unwanted sites, the firewall automatically blocks access and provides a pop-up to me as the admin, allowing me to log into the admin console immediately and block the device.

        What needs improvement?

        I do not feel there is anything to improve in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. What is currently available is sufficient and very good.

        As of now, I do not have anything to add regarding needed improvements as everything is functioning properly.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for the past 1.8 years.

        What do I think about the stability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable, and I have not experienced any downtime or reliability issues.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is excellent. It is already growing with my organization, and the support provided by Check Point Harmony meets my expectations and even exceeds them.

        How are customer service and support?

        For customer support, I would give a rating of nine out of ten.

        I rate customer support nine out of ten because sometimes they do not provide immediate assistance, and it can take time for them to respond. That is the only problem; everything else is satisfactory.

        How would you rate customer service and support?

        Positive

        Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

        I previously used Sophos 122 H, which is a much lower version.

        I decided to switch from Sophos 122 H to Check Point Harmony because it offers a much better user login experience.

        How was the initial setup?

        I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine out of ten.

        I choose to give it nine out of ten because sometimes support has issues; they take some time when I raise a ticket. If they provided immediate support, I could give a ten out of ten.

        What was our ROI?

        I have seen a return on investment with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as it has saved a lot of money.

        What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

        Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, I find that the functionality they provide for what we paid is worthy.

        Which other solutions did I evaluate?

        Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I did not evaluate any other options; I chose only this one option.

        What other advice do I have?

        I offer one suggestion to all users considering Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration: before purchasing any product from Check Point, please consult with Check Point support and account managers, and take a demo for two to three times.

        In terms of business relationships, I am not with Check Point as a partner or reseller; I am just a customer.

        On a scale of one to ten, I rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration a nine.

        Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

        On-premises

        Email security has strengthened protection and now stops advanced phishing and BEC attempts

        What is our primary use case?

        The primary use case for Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is to protect our organization's email environment from phishing, malware, ransomware, business email compromise (BEC), and other advanced email-based threats. We use it to secure both inbound and outbound email traffic, ensuring safe communication across the organization.

        What is most valuable?

        We have been using Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) for over one year and have had a very positive experience with its security capabilities and ease of management.

        Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) has had a positive impact by significantly reducing the number of phishing, malware, and BEC attempts that reach end-users. This has lowered the risk of credential theft and other email-based attacks. It has also improved our security team's efficiency by automating threat detection, quarantining, and alerting, which reduces manual effort. The centralized dashboard gives us better visibility into email threats, making investigations and reporting much faster. Overall, it has strengthened our email security posture while allowing users to work with fewer security-related disruptions.

        The best features of Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration), in my opinion, are AI-powered phishing and BEC protection, ThreatCloud intelligence, advanced URL and attachment protection, easy integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, centralized management and reporting, and automated threat response. The feature I rely on the most is the AI-powered phishing and BEC protection. Email remains one of the most common attack vectors, and phishing campaigns are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This feature does an excellent job of identifying suspicious emails based on sender behavior, content, URLs, and other indicators before they reach users.

        One aspect I really appreciate is how all the features work together rather than as separate components. The AI-powered detection, ThreatCloud intelligence, URL and attachment protection, and centralized management provide layered security. I also appreciate that the solution is cloud-native, integrates well with Microsoft 365, and requires minimal administrative overhead.

        What needs improvement?

        Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is a strong solution, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. The reporting and dashboard could offer more customizable views and executive-level reports. Policy configuration for advanced use cases could be simplified to reduce the learning curve for new administrators. Integration with third-party SIEM or SOAR platforms could be expanded to make automated incident response even more seamless.

        While the core protection is very strong, there are a few enhancements that could improve the overall experience, such as user onboarding for first-time administrators, especially when configuring advanced policies.

        If I had to select one area, it would be more control over reporting and customization. Security teams and executives often need different views of the same data. Having more flexibility in creating custom reports and dashboards would be a significant improvement.

        Overall, the remaining improvements are mostly around usability and operational efficiency rather than core security.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        We have been using Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) for over one year and have had a very positive experience with its security capabilities and ease of management. Beyond protection against phishing and malware, we use it to secure our Microsoft 365 email environment, investigate suspicious emails, manage quarantined items, and monitor security trends through its reporting dashboard. We also use Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) for URL and attachment analysis, business email compromise protection, and monitoring suspicious email activity. It provides centralized visibility into email threats, making it easier to investigate incidents and fine-tune security policies. We also use the reporting features to track threat trends and demonstrate the effectiveness of our email security controls. Overall, it helps reduce the manual workload on the security team while improving our organization's email security posture.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        The scalability has been excellent. Since Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is a cloud-native solution, it scales easily as our organization grows, whether it is adding new users or onboarding new departments.

        How are customer service and support?

        Overall, my experience with Check Point support has been positive. We have not needed to contact them frequently because the platform has been stable, but on the occasions we did, the support team was responsive and knowledgeable. They helped troubleshoot configuration and policy-related questions and provided clear guidance along with their relevant documentation and knowledge base articles.

        How was the initial setup?

        The initial setup was relatively straightforward, especially because it is a cloud-native solution. We integrated it with our Microsoft 365 by configuring the required permissions and base security policies. Check Point provides clear documentation and deployment guides, which made the process smooth. Most of the effort was in validating the configuration, fine-tuning policies to match our organization's requirements, and testing to ensure legitimate emails were not blocked. Overall, I would describe it as efficient and much simpler than deploying a traditional on-premises email security gateway.

        What other advice do I have?

        My advice would be to start by understanding your organization's email security requirements and the planned deployment carefully. Take the time to configure and fine-tune your security policies during the initial rollout to balance strong protection with minimal impact on legitimate business emails. I also recommend running the solution in monitoring or audit mode where possible before enforcing strict policies, so you can identify any false positives and make adjustments.

        A good example was when Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) detected and blocked a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting multiple employees. The email closely mimicked a trusted vendor attempting to steal Microsoft 365 credentials through a fake login page. The solution's AI-powered phishing detection identified the malicious indicators and quarantined the emails before they reached users' inboxes. The incident was clearly visible in the management console, allowing our security team to review the attack, confirm that no accounts were compromised, and quickly notify the users.

        In addition to protecting against phishing and malware, Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) provides URL and attachment analysis, business email compromise protection, and monitoring of suspicious email activity. It provides centralized visibility into email threats, making it easier to investigate incidents and fine-tune security policies. The standard features include AI-powered phishing and business email protection, business email compromise protection, advanced URL and attachment analysis with sandboxing, ThreatCloud threat intelligence, seamless Microsoft 365 integration, centralized management, and detailed reporting.

        I would rate this solution a nine out of ten overall.

        Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

        Public Cloud

        If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

        Protects users from phishing and malicious links while improving team efficiency
        Pros and Cons
        • "The advanced phishing protection is proactive in catching threats before users even see them; it does not just block obvious spam, it can spot subtle impersonation attempts and suspicious links that appear legitimate at first glance."
        • "The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English."

        What is our primary use case?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments across email and cloud tools. I use the Gmail collaboration and ensure suspicious links or files are blocked before they reach users. It helps enforce consistent security policies, reduce the risk of account compromise, and provide quick visibility into attempted attacks.

        One example of how I used Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to block a threat was when a phishing email disguised as a Gmail login request was sent to several employees. The solution automatically flagged the suspicious email, quarantined the message, and prevented users from clicking the malicious links.

        Another way Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped in similar situations is by consistently stopping targeted spear phishing attacks. In one case, attackers tried to impersonate a trusted vendor with a fake invoice, but the system flagged the unusual sender behavior and quarantined the emails before anyone could open them.

        What is most valuable?

        The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers are the advanced phishing protection and its seamless integration with collaboration tools.

        The advanced phishing protection is proactive in catching threats before users even see them. It does not just block obvious spam; it can spot subtle impersonation attempts and suspicious links that appear legitimate at first glance. The seamless integration has made my workflow easier because the same protection applies across email and collaboration tools without extra configuration.

        Another feature is the detailed reporting and analytics that come with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. They provide clear visibility into attempted attacks, user activity, and overall trends, which helps the team fine-tune policies and demonstrate the value of the solution to management.

        It has impacted my organization positively by reducing the number of phishing attempts that reach our users and giving us greater confidence in every communication. It has improved efficiency because suspicious emails are automatically quarantined, saving the team time that used to be spent on manual investigation. I estimate the team saves at least three to five hours per week, thanks to the automatic quarantine and clear visibility features.

        What needs improvement?

        The only area for improvement is the language of the support. The support is only available in English.

        Secures internal and external emails while reducing manual quarantine management

        What is our primary use case?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is used to secure all incoming emails and emails within the organization.

        All PDF files and attachments are scanned while sending an email from one user to another within and outside of the organization.

        It is also used to block users from receiving spam emails.

        What is most valuable?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration works seamlessly with cloud email providers such as Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace, and it also provides security to collaboration tools such as Teams, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Slack.

        It is very easy to set up, requiring only about seven clicks and two to three days to receive all information from the mailboxes and provide details about partners, shadow IT, and other relevant information.

        Regarding threat detection, it provides additional security to the already inbuilt security from Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace.

        It blocks security threats and malware that have been passed on by Microsoft Office 365 EOP and works inline with all cloud email providers.

        The amount of resources required to conduct a deep dive into email security has been reduced because of its automation feature, which allows users to manually restore quarantine files at their own risk.

        Previously, when using other email security providers, logging in daily was necessary to remove all quarantine emails.

        Now, users are notified of quarantine emails and can be provided access to release them from quarantine.

        What needs improvement?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration can be improved because it currently only supports email in the cloud.

        If you have an email server such as Exchange or Zimbra, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration will not support it.

        Support for on-premises email servers would be beneficial.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been used for about a year.

        What do I think about the stability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        There have been no issues with its scalability feature; everything is working fine.

        How are customer service and support?

        Customer support has been awesome, providing prompt responses to all emails.

        How would you rate customer service and support?

        Positive

        Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

        Previously, a different solution was not used, but access to Barracuda was available.

        With Barracuda, manually changing the logs was necessary, which was tedious.

        Compared to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, it is much simpler, the dashboard is also simpler, and integration with all cloud email service providers is very simple.

        Which other solutions did I evaluate?

        Barracuda was being evaluated.

        What other advice do I have?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came in competitively with its competition, making it a good deal.

        Fewer employees are needed since there is no requirement to continually check email and quarantine email, and time is also significantly saved.

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is one of the best products to purchase if you do not want to compromise on security and want to save time.

        This review has been rated with an 8 out of 10.

        Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

        Public Cloud

        If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

        Email security has become proactive as it prevents phishing and automates user awareness training

        What is our primary use case?

        I primarily use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to secure all of our emails, both incoming and outgoing, and to prevent phishing emails from outside sources, as well as to run a phishing campaign in my department.

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has a phishing campaign feature where you can run simulated phishing emails to a particular department that it recognizes in Microsoft Office, and if someone fails, the system will ask that user to enroll in a learning video tutorial.

        I use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect my emails from outside phishing threats as well as to provide click URL protection.

        What is most valuable?

        The best feature for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is its inline feature, where it remediates any emails with a phishing link as well as threats before they come into the inbox. This is what I appreciate the most about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

        The inline feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration reduces incidents and saves a significant amount of time.

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has impacted my organization very well because you only require a small amount of human resources to look into email security since it is one of the first points of contact where any organization gets breached. You require fewer resources because it is automated, and you can even customize it so that if any email gets blocked, you can ask the user for permission to not quarantine it to the administrator.

        What needs improvement?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved if it was offered on-premises, because most of our clients do not want to use cloud-based services; that is the only thing that I would appreciate Check Point to offer.

        I would want the attachment feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to scan for images, as it is integrated with AI. Currently it does not scan for images with nudity, and I would really appreciate it if it scanned for nudity components as well.

        For how long have I used the solution?

        I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about one and a half years.

        What do I think about the stability of the solution?

        Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a very stable product; we have not had any issues with it.

        What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

        The scalability of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very open because it is on the cloud. We only pay for the number of users and the number of licenses for those users, and it does not depend on mailbox traffic.

        How are customer service and support?

        The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is excellent, and they support us very frequently, calling us within 30 to 40 minutes.

        How would you rate customer service and support?

        Negative

        What was our ROI?

        The return on investment for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is significant since we only require one person to oversee it, and once it is set up, we do not need to do anything else.

        What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

        The pricing and setup cost for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is relatively competitive with its competitors.

        Which other solutions did I evaluate?

        We were trying to evaluate Fortinet and Barracuda, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration came out on top.

        What other advice do I have?

        Currently, only one member of our team is required to look at email security, but they do not have to keep monitoring it continuously.

        If you are looking for a cloud-based email solution, then Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best solution you could choose because it only takes about seven clicks to onboard, studies all your email patterns, and analyzes all your past emails. It is very easy to use.

        I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

        Email security has protected us from phishing and now keeps our cloud data and files safe
        Pros and Cons
        • "Our employees and the company's system are pretty much safe, and it has overall improved our email hygiene with very little spam and no malicious attachments reaching us, which get filtered out very quickly."

          What is our primary use case?

          My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to protect my email and collaborations wherein I use Outlook, and it helps me to prevent my email from phishing or any kind of account takeover attacks.

          One day I received a mail that looked exactly like an alert from Microsoft, but when I clicked it, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration flagged it as phishing and removed it from my inbox, which I really appreciated.

          What is most valuable?

          The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include great cloud collaboration and file sharing tools, especially as I work on a hybrid model, sometimes in the office or at home. Additionally, it protects me on the cloud, has data loss prevention, and gives me real-time protection from all the unethical activities happening.

          The data loss prevention feature works for me by detecting when I had kept all my documents on Drive, but somehow my sheet got lost. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected it and immediately looked into it and got it back in my inbox.

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted my organization by helping us stop a lot of targeted phishing and fake invoice attacks. Earlier, we used to fall for such tricks, but now, with the help of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we do not get those kinds of emails. Our employees and the company's system are pretty much safe, and it has overall improved our email hygiene with very little spam and no malicious attachments reaching us, which get filtered out very quickly.

          Since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we have seen a reduction in phishing incidents, as it helped me when I sent a spreadsheet that had my client's phone numbers and card details, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration instantly flagged it and alerted me. Additionally, I had a very convincing email that looked like it came from my HR asking me to update my bank details, which Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected within seconds and blocked from all our servers as soon as I responded to it.

          What needs improvement?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved because I feel the advanced settings are a bit difficult to understand and get your hands on; it could have been easier to navigate in the dashboard. I also feel that working on cloud could be faster and simplified as it is on the on-premises mode.

          For how long have I used the solution?

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

          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 has huge and large scalability.

          How are customer service and support?

          The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is good and active.

          How would you rate customer service and support?

          Positive

          How was the initial setup?

          I would rate Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration an eight.

          I give it an eight because overall I am pretty much satisfied with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, as it works positively with my company, and I am very habitual of using it, which gives me a stress-free mindset to work properly.

          What was our ROI?

          I have seen a return on investment since using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it helped reduce the time of the IT team management and our company's time to stop and detect all the malware and ransomware. One phishing-related financial fraud is pretty much able to shake the system, and now I feel it is a return on investment because our money is not getting out of the company because of any phishing activities.

          What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

          My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration indicates that the pricing feels a bit on the higher side, but the deployment was quite comfortable. It took us some time to deploy it and understand the learning curves, but we manage it now.

          What other advice do I have?

          I would advise others looking into using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to evaluate and compare it to other companies providing similar solutions in terms of pricing. It is also important to make your IT team ready and understand each feature thoroughly, including the advanced features, so they can use it fully. I gave this product a rating of eight out of ten.

          Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

          On-premises

          Phishing threats have been blocked consistently and team response time has improved significantly

          What is our primary use case?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against phishing and malicious attachments. We use it most often to scan incoming emails and block suspicious links before they reach users.

          A clear example of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protecting us was during a phishing campaign that mimicked our internal HR message, where several employees received an email with a fake link to their payroll details. It immediately flagged the message, quarantined them, and prevented users from clicking the malicious link. In another case, it blocked a suspicious attachment that contained malware before it reached the inbox. This protection saved us from potential credential theft and downtime while keeping daily communication secure.

          Another useful scenario for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is when an external partner sends a large volume of attachments. The solution scans and filters their files automatically, which prevents malware and unsafe content from slipping through.

          What is most valuable?

          The best feature in my experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is its strong phishing protection and ability to block malicious attachments before they reach users. I also value the account takeover prevention feature, which monitors for suspicious login attempts and enforces security access, along with the seamless integration with platforms like Office 365.

          The account takeover prevention feature in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been very effective for us as it monitors login behavior and flags unusual access attempts, such as sign-ins from unexpected locations or devices. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has impacted our organization positively by providing a noticeable reduction in phishing attempts reaching users and fewer incidents of suspicious attachments making it into inboxes. This has lowered the number of security alerts our team needs to handle and saves time on manual investigations. Employees feel more confident working with email and collaboration tools, knowing they are protected.

          On average, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration blocks around 200 to 300 phishing attempts per month that previously would have reached user inboxes. Incident response time has also been reduced by more than 20% before suspicious emails are quarantined automatically, which requires fewer manual checks. Overall, this has saved our team several hours each week and allowed us to focus on proactive security improvements rather than chasing alerts.

          What needs improvement?

          There are areas that could be improved for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

          The reporting dashboard of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could be more customized so different users can get the exact insights they need, and the integration with third-party collaboration tools outside of Microsoft 365 would also make it more versatile.

          The documentation for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is only in English and is not intuitive, which could be improved. I chose eight out of ten for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because it needs to create intuitive documentation for first-time implementation.

          For how long have I used the solution?

          I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about four years.

          What do I think about the stability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

          What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is good.

          How are customer service and support?

          The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very fast. I only needed to create a support incident once, but Check Point support responded and created the solution very quickly. For me, it is very, very, very good.

          How would you rate customer service and support?

          Positive

          How was the initial setup?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to integrate with existing platforms like Office and Microsoft 365, and the deployment was straightforward and required minimal change to user workflows.

          What was our ROI?

          I think about the time saved with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because during the week, employees have more free time to investigate other aspects of their position.

          What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

          The pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is great for us, with no problems. It is perfect for the large application of security.

          What other advice do I have?

          Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a big and modern security tool for email and other collaboration tools in your company. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is an excellent tool that is centralized and a perfect solution. I rate this product an eight out of ten.
