Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

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

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

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.

Barracuda was being evaluated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Negative

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.

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

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

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.

We use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for our clients, and we have also implemented the solution in our company for testing.

I have more experience with CloudGuard, and we need reviews for CloudGuard WAF and CloudGuard Network Security. If I deal with any of them, we can discuss any that I have better experience with.

I work with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, but not in a wide sense. A couple of cases were in previous years.

I have dealt with Check Point Harmony for approximately two to three years, as we implement it into customer environments.

I work with Check Point as a reseller, often.

Clients can use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for specific purposes when the infrastructure has cloud products such as Office 365 or other cloud services, including Microsoft or AWS products, especially when the mail service is built on the Google platform. In these cases, we use CloudGuard and mail collaboration.

I think the biggest advantage of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, or Harmony in general, is the AI models implemented in this solution. The second advantage is the pricing, which is very affordable. The third advantage is that it is really rated highly in Gartner or Forrester statistic quadrants. It is a well-known solution, and for me, it is easier to sell to customers because the solution is clear, well-known, and really works.

The automated incident response feature is helpful for security strategy, but in its default form, it is very seldom implemented because it requires specific adjustments based on customer needs and specific infrastructure. In big infrastructures, automatic response is good, but it needs some adjustments.

The AI-powered threat intelligence feature works effectively for blocking email threats. I explored this question and have to say that it definitely works; the threat intelligence is well-developed in this vendor with a great threat database. There is very quick communication with this cloud, and the database updates every day, resulting in a really good collection since the sources of this cloud are quite diverse, including Google and Trend Micro.

Inspection technology helps to safeguard shared files in my collaboration environment; I think it is well-built.

The tool for phishing attack mitigation is well-built, but I do not have specific numbers or metrics to estimate its effectiveness.

A more intuitive interface would be an area for improvement. I would like the agents to perform better; sometimes, they are too heavy for endpoints, and they affect performance.

I have been in this domain for about four years, and I have worked with Check Point Harmony for about three years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable and reliable, with no observed glitches or downtime.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is easy to scale; scaling is great.

I do not work directly with Check Point support, but I have seen that my engineer has had some issues.

Neutral

I find Check Point deployment and installation to be straightforward, probably because we have qualified engineers. For us, it is easy, and we do not have problems with deployment. Check Point supports different third-party tools for deployment such as Intune, and it works quickly. We have more problems with deployment in Fortinet or Sophos.

In the whole picture, Check Point is quite a complete solution as it has EDR and smart CM. Compared to Fortinet or Trend Micro, I think Check Point has a clearer product line, making it easier for the end user to understand what they want and choose.

In general, the pricing policy of the vendor is affordable for the Ukrainian market now. I think a couple of years ago, about four or five years ago, the pricing was not as good, and the market was smaller than now. The current pricing helps businesses. I would rate this review as nine out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable.

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

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.

Positive

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.

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.

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

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.

We are currently using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for our primary email security gateway to scan all the vulnerabilities that come in the mail and to safeguard us from spam mails.

We are using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for our PII DLP as well, ensuring that any PII information does not get leaked into the company, especially in the banking sector where a lot of PII information is shared, so it blocks all those PII information.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is deployed in our organization on a public cloud. We are using it specifically for SASE-based with integration into Office 365.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration not only blocks all the email but also provides separate threat graphs, and you can even create different flows to integrate with different Shadow IT.

The best features that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration provides are its unique inline implementation method, its detection of Shadow IT software that most rest of the email security gateways don't consider, and its easy deployment in our environment which only takes a couple of clicks to integrate with MS 365, taking around two days to analyze all the emails sent and received from Microsoft 365.

The Shadow IT detection in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is beneficial because many people in our organization use GitHub and different kinds of software with their office email ID, which integrates directly with our email, allowing us to know what software is linked and if it is necessary for the company or the particular users; thus, we can eliminate certain risks associated with it.

The implementation of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has made identifying vulnerabilities very easy, as we can assign certain members to it, allowing the end-user client to decide if they want the files sent by just having the option to receive files while sending an alert to the administrator, which simplifies the admin's tasks.

The time saved with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is substantial because if a mail or file gets blocked, the administrator had to look into the account, but now the notification is sent to the end user, who can view the files themselves, saving time for both the administrators and end users, leading to enhanced efficiency.

Currently, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration only supports Google Suites and Office 365, and I wish it would support other email vendors as well. I hope it could also provide on-prem solutions for those who prefer not to use cloud services for email security.

Since Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has AI integrated into it, it needs to be able to scan JPG files for pornography images, which it currently does not, as we receive many such emails that are bypassed by the system.

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

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very stable, and we have not received any complaints to date.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is good because you just purchase licenses according to the number of users, and I don't think we need to add any resources regarding the scale.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been awesome, providing prompt responses from the support team.

Positive

Previously, we used FortiGate email solutions, and we switched to Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration because we were purchasing Check Point Maestro solution with Quantum Security Gateways, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is listed in the leader quadrant in Gartner, which was a crucial reason for our choice.

We have not seen a return on investment yet because it has only been a year and we need to assess it over five years, but I can add that the troubleshooting needed for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very minimal, requiring few resources as the policy has been fine-tuned.

The setup cost for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was minimal since the vendor set it up for us.

We evaluated Barracuda before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The pricing for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was decent because we purchased it in a bundle with our gateways and Maestro solution, and the licensing process was also easier.

If you want to ensure strong security, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best solution because it integrates with Threat AI, which gathers telemetry from different platforms like Quantum Security Gateways, CloudGuard, WAF, and endpoints, ensuring everything is synced in less than five seconds; whenever a threat arises in any firewall or endpoint, it is communicated to the ThreatCloud and reflects across all devices.

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

We were using Google Email earlier and wanted to move from Google to Microsoft. Knowing the vulnerability issues with Microsoft, we wanted a strong email security management system on top of Microsoft 365.

We aimed to enhance the server security perimeter due to previous vulnerabilities with Microsoft, ensuring a strong email security management system.

The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does. Additionally, the threat management database provides consistent updates.

Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda - like more advanced threat management.

We have been working with Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration for more than five years.

The stability is good. I haven’t experienced any outages or abrupt stops.

The scalability is good and improving, rated seven to eight out of ten.

Whenever there's a need, my team communicates with them, and we have always been satisfied. Rated eight out of ten.

Positive

We previously used Barracuda and chose Check Point as it was known to us and seemed better.

The initial setup was easy, rated between seven and eight out of ten.

We did it through Check Point's team, which involved three to four people, primarily from my infrastructure team.

The pricing is reasonable, rated five out of ten for affordability.

We evaluated Barracuda but chose Check Point as it was better.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I use Check Point Harmony as a security using one solution for both mobile and app development. If we use email security like Office 365, Microsoft Office 365, or G-Suite, we can protect all incoming emails from Microsoft Exchange and stop spam mail with all kinds of security check policies with Check Point Harmony.

It's very effective as a solution to prevent mobile app threats. It has a mobile MDX, mobile detection, and response session.

As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience. Compared to competitors like Fortinet, Trend Micro, Palo Alto, and Cisco, Check Point provides a superior solution according to both the MITRE and Gartner frameworks.

For example, in a recent attack simulation, Check Point only allowed ten malicious emails through, while Fortinet allowed 1500 and Cisco allowed 1800. Check Point's email attack ratio is nearly 0.10%, while others range from 1% to 3%. This demonstrates Check Point's superior email filtering capabilities.

Check Point's email cleaning ratio is 99.9%, significantly higher than the 98%, 95%, or 93% of its competitors.

Moreover, Check Point Harmony Email incorporates AI technology within its security features.

Harmony Email & Collaboration (HEC) provides full protection and addresses zero-day files. It's the best solution available, as others don't offer protection against zero-day attacks and rely on signature-based solutions. HEC is truly the best option.

The sandbox solution is provided by Check Point. It offers complete detection and simple management and is a user-friendly solution. It has zero impact on user experience and privacy.

It helps detect malware, phishing attacks, and malicious calls and emails. It prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and protects corporate assets and resources. Harmony Mobile also blocks network access attempts to corporate resources, protecting our assets.

There is one feature that is robust: it detects OS vulnerabilities.

Check Point could improve its marketing strategy. They need to better reach customers and partners, providing more demonstrations and proof-of-concepts (POCs) to raise awareness and drive business growth.

I have been using it for ten years. 

It's very stable. Check Point Harmony is a stable and consistent solution.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. There are around a thousand end users. 

If we increase emails, we can increase the number of users in the system.

We get good support from Check Point. Whenever we implement anything and require technical assistance, we receive good support.

Positive

The setup can be completed within minutes. There's no need to install any agent or software on your system. It's configured behind your existing email solution, like Microsoft Exchange. 

Your emails will first go through Microsoft Exchange, then through the Check Point agent, and finally, the clean emails will be delivered to the endpoint.

The cost is similar to other competitors. It's not much higher. 

It's around INR 2,000 to INR 4,000 per mailbox.

There are no additional costs.

I would recommend Check Point Harmony solutions to customers. It's easy to deploy, and it's in a good position in the MITRE framework as well as a Gartner leader.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is protecting against phishing account takeover attempts in platforms like Microsoft 365. Since email is the most common entry point for attacks, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helps us by scanning inbound and outbound messages, blocking malicious links or attachments, and preventing credential theft.

We had a situation where a spoofed email appeared to come from our finance department, asking for urgent payment approval. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration immediately flagged it as suspicious, quarantined it, and alerted our team before anyone could click on the link or respond, preventing what could have been a costly business email compromise.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration also made a significant difference with internal account takeover attempts. In one case, an employee's credentials were phished through a fake login page, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration detected unusual login behavior from an unfamiliar location, automatically blocked the session, and forced a password reset.

The best features Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers include malware and ransomware defense, which employs sandboxing and behavior analysis to stop advanced malware hiding in attachments or shared files.

The sandboxing feature stands out to me because it combines deep behavioral analysis with pre and post-delivery protection, which many competitors do not offer.

The unified dashboard provides a single view of email and collaboration security events across platforms like Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint, reducing the need to jump between multiple consoles.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has positively impacted our organization by preventing phishing attacks and account takeovers in security files and collaboration platforms like Teams and SharePoint, reducing response times through automatic quarantine and post-delivery remediation.

Support could be improved, as it is only available in English.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for around six years.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is stable.

Its scalability is also effective.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very great and very fast.

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution.

Time saved and fewer incidents are the relevant metrics for return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been positive, and I feel the price is great with no problems.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, I did not evaluate other options.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great security tool that is very fast and very easy to deploy. I give it an excellent recommendation. I have rated this review nine out of ten.
