Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Reviews

I use the solution in my company to secure the users' environment so that there are no phishing attacks. The tool operates as an anti-spam solution for the users in our company. Each and every email passes through the email security scanning process. Emails with issues get quarantined by the solution.

The most valuable features of the solution include all of the functionalities offered by the tool, which work fine. I cannot say that a particular feature does not work fine. Each and every feature provided by the product works fine.

At the time of the purchase of the product for the users in my company, I am unable to see or get details of the users for whom the product has been purchased. I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective.

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

There are day-to-day updates in the solution. The product gets updated automatically since it is a SaaS-based tool. My company does not have to invest time to upgrade any applications in the product. In general, it is a hassle-free process to work with the product.

My company has around 50 users of the product.

My company plans to increase the number of uses of the product in the upcoming two or three months.

The need to seek technical support depends upon the severity of the issues that we face in our company with the product. Depending on the severity of the issue, my company connects with the support team in three to four hours. During high-severity cases when our entire organization goes down due to some issue in the product, my company connects directly with the support team.

People already use the product as a SaaS-based tool, but it can be complex if used at an in-house level only. As a SaaS-based tool, the product is easy to use without complexities.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in twenty minutes to half an hour.

I work in a hospital where we purchased the tool for security purposes. Being a hospital, we did not purchase the product with an ROI angle in mind.

I don't even have details of the product's single license purchased by my company.

The product is useful as it works fine to secure our company's email communication. My company has not faced any issues since the time we purchased the solution.

The product has improved our organization's functioning as a secure collaboration tool, considering that different products are made available in the market on a day-to-day basis. As a tool for email security, the solution serves as one of the best products in the market.

The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products. When it comes to integration, the product will ask about the credentials of the global applications to the tool's admin, after which it will automatically scan the licenses of the integrated products.

The reports and analytics part of the product is fine for my company since it allows us to check the analytical reports on a weekly basis at a user level. The product provides different kinds of reports like anti-spam reports that we can check in our company.

I recommended the product to those who plan to use it for email security purposes, as it offers a seamless and user-friendly experience to its users. There is no complexity involved in integrations with other products for better email security.

The need for cybersecurity will increase in different ways on a daily basis. The product does not provide alerts. The product fails to provide alerts if some issue occurs at a global level. From an improvement perspective, the product should provide alerts related to email security to its users.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

As users of Office 365, we are using CloudGuard SaaS to protect this cloud application. We knew that to do so, we would need a very good solution. CloudGaurd SaaS prevents malware and zero-day attacks/threats from attacking our SaaS users.

We have 17k+ users and all of them are using Office 365 for email. That's the reason we have implemented the Check Point CloudGuard SaaS solution. We needed protection, and it is working fine as per our requirement.

When we moved from an on-premises email solution to Office 365, we no longer had protection against malware or zero-day level attacks. With this SaaS, we prevent these problems, and also, we protect our users against phishing attacks, identity theft, have DLP support, and even SaaS shadow IT discovery protection.

We can say that with Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS, we have improved our security to the next level. Our users and business are more secure, and overall, this is a very impressive solution for us.

If you have Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS solution in place, 90% to 95% of the work in protecting your system is complete. There are some additional features that also help including Zero Day, Phasing, Identity Protection, and DLP, which provides us additional protection for our users.

This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection.

We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive.

We are using Check Point CloudGuard SaaS for the last four to five months.

Stability-wise, this is a good product.

We have more than 17,000 users and have not faced any issue from a scalability point of view

The cost of this product huge and it should be lowered because all organizations are going to be using cloud services. If it were more affordable then more organizations can rely on it to make them secure.

This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive.

As per current threats or malware behaviors, most of the attacks or viruses are coming from email only, and if you have no such solution to protect or prevent it then you are in big trouble.

Overall, this is a good product and it has very little we have found that needs to improve.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is the best security software that protects email and collaboration suites in one of the best possible way. It ensures the restriction of threat points and malware in a comprehensive manner. 

All our Google Workspace applications and Office 365 are thoroughly secured by the software. It's been a great experience so far. 

Multiple phishing activities and complete zero-day protection are all ensured through Check Point. 

Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration comes with end-to-end capabilities of system protection in a holistic manner. It is restricting the entry of phishing attacks, malware attacks, and ransomware threats. 

It ensures anti-phishing management effectively and prevents any data loss through encrypted database management. Bulletproof security is one of the best features which enables protection from the most sophisticated and evasive threat attacks. It claims to reduce phishing attempts by almost 100%

Zero-day protection of the cloud and email systems is possible with Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration. It ensures anti-phishing management end to end, and with this product, there can not be any evasive attack of sophisticated malware and threats on the system. 

Data loss and leakage prevention are one of the best features as it ensures no data loss and that all confidential documents and information is secured forever.

Protection of all confidential and sensitive data base (DLP) is secured in the system forever with complete dashboard and data tracking management.

They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management. Their zero-day threat protection can be further strengthened to have better compliance control, as 1% data loss and data breaches are still possible through existing systems. Even this 1% carries the potential to harm the system for a long time. 

We should have more and more pilots of security systems across different business environments to have 100% security checks and compliance.

It's been using the solution for about a year now.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We did not use a different solution. We started using this solution recently and have been happy with the experience so far.

The setup was easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor team.

We've seen an ROI of over 80%.

The setup cost is significantly low and quite affordable currently as per other competitive software. Also, the renewal and licensing process is streamlined and not complicated at all.

We evaluated a lot of alternatives simultaneously. Some of them included ESET Protect, Forcepoint DLP, Sentinel, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security, among others.

I'd advise new users to go for a trial of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration software and use it to its fullest to understand the capabilities at its best practices.

We use Harmony Email & Collaboration to prevent malicious emails from reaching inboxes, guarding against the attacks of threat actors.

We have also enabled a data leakage policy based on our client's needs, with hundreds of predefined and custom data types.

Below are the security elements of Harmony Email & Office which we use in our client environment. 

• Anti-phishing for incoming and internal emails.
• Complete known malware and zero-day malware prevention (Sandboxing)
• Attachment sanitization (CDR, Threat Extraction)
• Malicious URL protection (URL Protection)

The below features have improved our client experience:

• Anti-phishing for incoming and internal emails.
• Complete known malware and zero-day malware prevention (Sandboxing)
• Attachment sanitization (CDR, Threat Extraction)
• Malicious URL protection (URL Protection)

It protects cloud email and collaboration suites from cyber-attacks that evade default and advanced security tools. Its invisible, multi-layer security enables full-suite protection for cloud collaboration solutions such as Office 365, G-Suite, Teams, and Slack.

The main features are as follows

Harmony Email & Collaboration secures major file-sharing services such as Google Drive, ShareFile, OneDrive, Sharepoint, Box, and Dropbox from malware, ransomware, and east-west attacks. It also prevents accidental or malicious data loss.
Mainly, we are using Harmony Email & Collaboration to detect sensitive data sharing via email and other collaboration apps, and immediately limit data exposure. It enables the enforcement of a data leakage policy in our client environment, with predefined and custom data types.

• Phishing incidents and functionality bugs are misrepresented and can lead to inconsistent email encryption, affecting user experience and potentially compromising security.

• This product should prioritize a zero-trust approach.
• There are unexplained settings in the security console that lack proper documentation or explanation from the vendor, leaving users without support.
• For instance, the back-end query language used to process user-based phishing reports is not documented.
• Additionally, certain features, such as the inability to whitelist DLP events by user, are lacking and their inclusion would reduce unnecessary alerts.

I have been using this for more than a year.

It is 100% percent stable and secure.

I have a really good impression of the scalability as it protects more of the Office 365 suite than just email. I appreciate that system logs capture when someone views the body of an email. It is reasonably priced for the coverage it provides.

Customer support and vendor engagement is really good in comparison to other vendors.

Positive

We have multiple clients. We use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for one of our clients.

It is a much simpler product to set up and support compared to other vendors we have reviewed. It does a much better job of blocking phishing with little to no customization. This product just works out of the box without needing any specific fancy rules.

We have our Professional Services who do implementation-related pieces for our clients. It's really good in comparison to other vendors.

It is very easy to implement and it can see actions taken by Harmony and Microsoft 365 in a single console. It is cost-effective and works well for many of the budget constraint enterprises.

It has an extremely high success rate of keeping junk/spam/phishing emails out while allowing the right emails through. The setup is extremely easy. Vendor Engagement and webinars are always happening- Check Point has monthly new feature meetings, so overall I am having a great experience.

Our company uses Office 365 and clearly, we use Outlook. We needed a tool that had the functionality to verify and validate the emails that enter and leave our organization. With this tool, we can solve security problems since many of the collaborators work from home. With this, we have decreased phishing attacks. It offers quite a few types of analysis and reporting that help to clear up security doubts and how to counter these gaps.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is workload protection in the cloud. This firewall helps us provide controls on our organization's devices and has become our main tool in the analysis and coverage of the infrastructure and also maintains fairly reasonable scalability.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has helped our company with perimeter security and securing our employees from wherever they are working. It's strengthening security as it is able to stop phishing attacks on Office 365 accounts and block possible account hijacking. It is also responsible for detecting malicious files in both OneDrive and SharePoint. This makes the product more robust and also gives us visibility into suspicious access, and provides the areas from which they are trying to enter. With this other feature, it provides more integrity to our company.

We have found several features that are very valuable. One of them is the integration with Office365. In addition to that, it is fast and has a very simple, easy integration. In addition to that, it integrates with other Office 365 products. The false positives are minimal, almost nil. That is very important since it will not generate an absurd amount of emails. The functionality of the tool is very easy to configure and manage. The platform is friendly and makes its integrations even more, so this tool is very efficient.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration presents a problem similar to the other Check Point tools that it was able to manage, and that is the access to its administrative functions. Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult. 

It presents problems in the management of technical support since the SLA is not optimal, causing delays. This means that security problems may arise since it does not provide a quick response or a concrete solution.

I have been using it for approximately 4 years

The tool stability is very good.

The scalability that the solution presents is very good. It is quite scalable.

The experience has not been very pleasant since we have opened cases and they take too much time to respond or schedule a meeting even to provide a solution.

Positive

There was no other solution implemented.

The initial configuration was very simple and fast.

During the implementation, the provider's team helped us, and it was very efficient; they knew what they were doing

The functionality that the tool presents with its characteristics and capabilities helped us a lot in our organization.

Like all security tools, they are expensive tools. However, Check Point competes in the market and its accessibility is good, so paying for a tool that provides security is worth it.

The company has already had several Check Point tools. For this reason, this tool was implemented to keep in line with the same brand and hopefully not present us with problems if we implement another one.

The only advice is to improve the technical support for your users since it is not very efficient.

My company uses Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to provide security for Office 365 email and collaboration apps like Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other related tools.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers.

The solution fails to support hybrid deployments.

Currently, the solution supports cloud email only. It would be great if they could also support hybrid deployments.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for three years. My company has a partnership with Check Point.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten since there were a few minor issues that were quickly resolved while the uptime of the product has not been 100 percent.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I would say that probably around 50 percent of our customer base uses the solution.

The solution's technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

I rate the product's initial setup a nine out of ten since the setup phase is seamless 99 percent of the time. If the end user customized the Office 365 tenant a lot, then a manual setup might be required.

The solution is deployed on the public cloud while supporting cloud services from Google and Microsoft.

The deployment process of the solution takes about five minutes. It would probably take ten minutes if we consider from start to finish of the deployment process.

For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Harmony Email & Collaboration module and then provide the credentials to your Office 365 tenant, following which the integration process starts.

I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

It is a reasonably priced product offering good value for money.

I would say that since Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration provides a two-week evaluation option, it's very easy to integrate into your environment in a read-only mode so that it doesn't interfere with your email. It just scans and then provides you a report afterward of the threats your solution has missed and what Check Point would have caught.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a fantastic solution.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is a one-stop solution for providing the best enterprise security and protecting systems and mail servers from malware and threat attacks. 

Also, It helps in URL protection and DLP quite efficiently without any issues. 

It provides real-time protection to users and their devices from any incoming potential threats and malware sources. 

It helps in bringing security compliance to the system end to end. 

It permanently blocks phishing websites and any ransomware attacks. 

We find that it protects all confidential information from any sort of data leak and ensures data robustness and keeps everything intact in the system.

It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout. 

It suspends and proactively blocks the malicious ransomware and threats before reaching the inbox. 

The product prevents data loss or data theft and ensures that the system is secured end to end without any trouble. 

Its API integration with other portals and applications goes smoothly without any hiccups. 

They provide bulletproof security to systems and email servers and ensure round-the-clock security for cloud email servers and other collaborating applications. 

It's an all-in-one security solution for businesses in this current era.

All the features offer great utility, and their performance is quite impressive. 

They have more secure applications than cloud-native security and have a higher security compliance rate. Also, the prevention of systems and servers from phishing attacks and system threats is proactively traceable and immediately diffused with a catchment rate of almost 99.99%, which is great in today's era of cyber threats and attacks. 

Their sound features of security for account protection and data leak protection works great for us, and we never face any compatibility or lag issue while working on the software. 

I would love to have their ticket resolution process as fast as possible. Fast and accurate ticket resolution can be a game changer for any industry, and the performance and confidence of clients go hand in hand with improved performance efficacy. This will definitely attract more loyal clients, and it helps with retention for longer periods.

The business team should be further expanded, and more peer feedback should be made available publicly to have better and complete visibility of the application globally.

I've been using the solution for precisely two years.

The solution is stable.

The product is scalable and gives users a great opportunity to replicate as well.

Customer service and support are good.

Positive

This is the first time we are using a solution of this kind formally.

The setup was straightforward and easy.

We implemented the product through our in-house team.

The ROI is always better than other alternatives.

Check Point solutions are cost-effective and can be used effortlessly without any hassle. The renewal process for agreement is quite easy and can be done online easily. Licensing is smooth and price affordability is just great and can be recommended to all small and marginal start-up organizations for trial.

A lot of security solutions were evaluated. We evaluated Cyber Protect Cloud, Duo Security, Splunk, etc.

This is a must-have solution for all enterprises. People should try it now.

The product is reliable and sturdy. It can be configured within five minutes and has minimal downtime. It provides an in-built API functionality. It supports chat and file sharing from solutions like OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Additionally, it offers 100% protection for unified communication or collaboration to prevent hacking incidents like the Zoom hack.

They must provide security to Rediffmail and other email service providers. At present, it is limited to only two email services. They should also offer additional protection to Zoom, Cisco Webex, BlueJeans, and StarLeaf.

We have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for five to six days. However, we have been using Check Point for five to six years.

I rate the platform’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the platform’s scalability a ten out of ten. It is suitable for small, medium, and large companies. Mostly, it will be helpful for small enterprises that can’t afford firewall solutions like Wireshark.

Check Point has a good support system in our country. They are 100% customer-centric and have many support partners as well.

It is straightforward to set up. We can deploy within five minutes.

Check Point is a very user-friendly product. The customers can deploy it easily with some technical knowledge; they can take help for installation and programming for a nominal cost from the product partners.

I rate the platform’s pricing a seven and a half.

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