Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is to search for different threats and vulnerabilities in our mail, such as Exchange 365, and other threats in our collaboration tools.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has made collaboration more efficient by reducing noise from phishing and spam. Our team interacts with it mostly through the alerts and quarantine features, which are easy to manage and do not interrupt daily communications. The fact that suspicious emails are filtered before they reach the inbox means people can focus on real work without worrying about hidden threats.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has had a positive impact by cutting down on phishing and spam, which means our team spends less time sorting through unwanted messages. A clear outcome we have noticed is fewer security incidents tied to email. What used to be a weekly issue is now rarer.

The time saved in our teams is the best advantage when the organization uses Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration.

The best features of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration are its strong phishing and spam filtering, clear alerts, and easy-to-manage quarantine. What stands out the most to me is how seamlessly it blocks suspicious emails before they reach users, while still giving us visibility and control through the quarantine dashboard.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration integrates well with other security tools, which makes it easier to share threat intelligence across platforms. The combination of smooth integration and advanced detection has made it feel like a strong layer of protection in our overall security stack.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is because I use Microsoft 365 and need to integrate with a great tool for security in order to protect email and other collaboration tools, such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, from phishing, malware, and other account takeover attacks.

In the past, when a user copied a file into SharePoint that had malware and shared this file with other users, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects against this problem.

In our organization, we rely heavily on Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for cross-department projects, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration protects internal file sharing and collaboration across multiple departments by automatically scanning shared files and links before they are accessed by colleagues, preventing malware from spreading internally if someone unknowingly uploads a compromised document.

The best feature that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration offers for me is the zero-day threat prevention because it uses sandboxing, and I am driving analysis to catch unknown threats that traditional email and email security means miss.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been a game changer for our team because sandboxing and zero-day prevention have helped us, and one specific example is a targeted phishing campaign where attackers tried to deliver malicious Excel files with embedded macros; traditionally, those types of files might slip past basic email filters, but Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration sandboxing detonated the file in a virtual environment, detected the malicious behavior, and blocked it before it reached the user's inbox.

We use lots of other tech products such as Cisco, Fortinet, and all.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has improved our organization by significantly reducing phishing and malware incidents, enhancing overall email security. Its AI-driven threat detection has helped prevent advanced attacks before reaching users. Integration with Microsoft 365 streamlined protection without disrupting workflows. The centralized dashboard also improved visibility and control over email and collaboration threats, saving time for IT teams.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is highly integrable with Microsoft services, delivering comprehensive protection to our inboxes. This integration allows for enhanced security, identifying more phishing and other types of malicious emails than Microsoft Defender alone. Together, they provide a robust protection solution.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could improve in UI intuitiveness, false positive reduction, and integration with third-party apps like Slack.

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

Customer support for Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is very good, excellent.

It was okay. No big issues during setup, only some challenges during first deployment but that is neglectable.

We have seen a return on investment with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration by saving time and needing fewer employees to manage email security.

The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was okay.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration, we evaluated Proofpoint.

Check Point Harmony is not an email gateway, which Proofpoint is. Therefore, it integrates more easily with Microsoft email and services. I rate the overall solution as 10 out of 10.

The use cases include anti-spam and anti-phishing. We have Email Collaboration for the anti-spam solution and anti-phishing solution. It’s a very good platform because every day, we block about 1,000 to 5,000 batch emails with malware, spam, etc. So for our business, it’s very important to have this platform, this solution, because it helps us very well with all email.

I have only a few features, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and DLP for a use case. It’s a very good platform. I tried all the models, all the features in this platform, and it works very well.

The  pricing could be improved, because when I first bought it, it was cheaper than it is now. And the first time, I had more features than the trial license. It’s more costly now, but I have fewer features.

I have been using it for about four years. 

For the years we’ve worked with the product, we haven’t had downtime.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

Our company has around 2,000 users. It is in the retail industry. 

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. 

We can make a ticket directly to the Check Point pack. It’s a great function. We don’t wait for customer support because customer requires collaboration, and it’s truly the case. 

If the customer doesn’t have a fixed mistake in the platform, they need to escalate to Check Point. But I can escalate directly to Check Point for any support or consultation. So it’s very good.

Positive

I tried Cisco.  I tried with Office 365. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is a great solution compared to these other companies because it’s more intuitive. I can see attacks in real-time. 

The solution blocks all the malware and phishing emails. The percent of failures is maybe 1%. So 99% of phishing, spam, or malware is blocked with the Harmony solution.

The initial setup is easy. It  is because it’s in the cloud. So we need to integrate Harmony with Microsoft Office 365, and it works. Maybe in three minutes to one hour, it works very well. We needed to make policies and collaborate with users, but it was very easy.

The implementation and the resolution took one test.

We had two people, the customer and me, and maybe another person, but three people maximum is enough for the deployment process. 

Maintenance  is from Check Point. So we don’t need to do anything. It’s a great platform for maintenance. Check Point notifies us, so we need to do maintenance on the platform, and we’re okay with that. We’re good. We don’t need to do anything on the platform.

We don’t need to do anything on the platform.

The cost is a little bit expensive.

I recommend using this platform because it makes policies and email integrations with Office 365 very easy. You can integrate Microsoft Teams with Sharepoint and OneDrive, and you can protect these clouds.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

We use the product to address core, perimeter, and administrative security requirements for firewalls within our environment. Additionally, we cater to email security requirements for clients using both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 platforms.

The product's most valuable features for email security are its ability to safeguard domain names, detect duplicate email users, and identify spam emails impersonating legitimate email IDs, thereby enhancing overall security. It also has a robust filtering system.

It's very easy to use, and the onboarding process is straightforward. We can easily categorize users, create groups, and apply policies accordingly, simplifying policy management for different user groups within an organization.

In India, pricing is a concern, especially for SMEs. Check Point needs to address the pricing segment for SMEs. Apart from that, the technology and other aspects like sales and marketing are satisfactory.

Most OEMs provide similar capabilities. If any OEM introduces new features, Check Point must match those capabilities. It could improve by offering an on-premise solution for customers still using Microsoft Exchange, which currently provides only cloud-based services.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for about a year. We directly sell the latest version to customers, including SMEs, enterprises, and SMBs.

The product is stable. We have yet to encounter technical or deployment issues. My team is comfortable working with the solution due to its reliability and the prompt assistance that Check Point's support team provides. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have 35,000 Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration users, covering all three segments: small, medium, and enterprise.

It is a scalable product and meets the evolving business needs. Their communication and understanding of customer requirements make deploying and scaling the solution easy. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

We have yet to encounter many technical issues, but Check Point's support team has been responsive and helpful whenever required.

Positive

We completed ten deployments, including the installation and setup, in one week. Overall, it takes around seven days to complete. It involves collecting information from the customer about the number of users and the email services they use. The onboarding process is easy and takes one to two hours, followed by policy creation based on customer requirements.

I rate the process a nine out of ten.

The product is expensive compared to some competitors, especially for the SME segment in India. On average, it's around 10,00,000 to 15,00,000 lakh rupees for 200 users per year. Additional costs depend on the customer and their requirements.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

I suggest conducting a proof of concept (POC) before purchasing the product. Customers will likely find it reliable and effective after analyzing it for 10 to 15 days.

I rate it a seven out of ten.

We mainly use this product for Email security, and it has an extremely simple setup. We have it installed at one of our client's locations to detect and respond appropriately to common threats such as phishing, scams, and data leakage. This comprehensive coverage allows us to protect the services running within the organization. 

Check Point Harmony Email Collaboration enables us to efficiently and confidently implement necessary solutions for our various email configurations. The support services available are outstanding. When we sought a product demo for Harmony Email and Collaboration, it was very thorough.

The product is incredibly easy to set up and deploy, even across multiple tenants. Once we completed the connection process, we selected our policies and configured them to notify users about spam/phishing emails. 

It provides recommendations but also allows for customization to suit our needs. After the initial setup, we rarely need to make adjustments. 

We've contacted support a few times, and their responses have been quick and helpful. The user interface is very intuitive, and our technicians didn't need formal training because of how well it's laid out. We've implemented this across multiple tenants and have more than 1,000 users, with fewer than 10 tickets about potential false positives/negatives. This has significantly reduced the number of "Is this Spam" tickets from our customers.

The email security solution boasts an exceptional success rate in filtering out junk, spam, and phishing emails while ensuring that legitimate emails reach their intended recipients. The setup process is straightforward and user-friendly. The vendor is highly engaged with monthly meetings to introduce new features, and the account manager is notably responsive. In addition, the pricing offered is remarkably competitive compared to other options available in the email security market.

The ability to customize based on existing organizational goals, milestones, and current or future state designs is important. Customizable policies regarding how to handle specific email files, their contents, and appropriate remediation steps are critical in product selection. In larger organizations, the sheer volume of emails can be daunting when evaluating solutions. Ensuring the integrity of communications and proper collaboration is crucial to establishing the CIA triad. This solution has reduced insecurities and made scaling this product rather seamless.

Initial Learning Mode takes a while. I would like to have protection go live immediately and then have learning mode kick in after the initial scan Email Search can be clunky at times. It would be nice if there was a way to auto-fill recipients or sender fields with known users' payment options.

We have several clients, and one of them uses the Harmony Email gateway. We also plan to use this product because many of our clients are experiencing issues with their mail gateways and are considering using this product for using it against a variety of Cyber threats including malware and ransomware.

Scalability is 10/10 as with a larger organization, the sheer volume of emails can be quite intimidating when evaluating the scale of solutions. Ensuring the integrity of communications and proper collaboration is critical to establishing the CIA triad. This solution has reduced those insecurities and made scaling this product solution rather seamless.

My impression of the stability is 10/10 for this solution.

So far, we have received very good support for our issues, and the TAC for this product is really good. They provide a solution quickly.
