Good protection against zero-day attacks and offers DLP features
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, this is a good product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Helps quarantine and remove threats and detect malicious emails
Pros and Cons
  • "Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size."
  • "It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for preventing malicious emails that we're getting through Google's built-in spam filters. The amount of spam and phishing had greatly increased at our organization and we needed a solution implemented fast. 

Check Point was really quick to integrate and implement and instantly started providing value. The reporting we got during our trial helped to quantify the value to the executive team, in particular, the report that shows what Check Point caught items that Google's spam filters would've let through.

How has it helped my organization?

The amount of spam and phishing getting through to end users has reduced drastically. 

We are also now able to advertise how many malicious emails we get and how it is constantly increasing as we grow. This shows our users how valuable a solution like this is and they appreciate that sometimes it may get a false positive. 

We're abe to show to users why emails are quarantined - which has helped to train them on what to look out for if they do receive a suspicious email. We have also improved our reporting process and notifications to admins.

What is most valuable?

First and foremost, Check Point's ability to detect malicious emails and the filters they put in place are a big improvement on the built-in Google Workspace solution. 

Being able to mass quarantine and remove emails from end users' mailboxes has become extremely important to us as we have grown in size. Admins can be notified as soon as a suspicious email arrives in bulk mailboxes and can act extremely quickly. This has even helped us to notify partners that they had been breached before they knew themselves.

What needs improvement?

There are a few features that are more geared towards Microsoft users rather than Google, for example, user-reported phishing. It's not fully integrated with Google Workspace, and the statistics don't update in real-time. 

We appreciate that Microsoft has the larger market share, and Check Point has been improving its Google integration. However, more advancements would be appreciated. That being said, the "What Google wouldn't have caught" report was extremely valuable to us in showing value. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for nine months.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other solutions, such as Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Abnormal.

Effectively secures your users' mailboxes against phishing and spam for any sized enterprise
Pros and Cons
  • "The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
  • "A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to protect Office 365 and Gmail.

What is most valuable?

The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature.

What needs improvement?

A signature-based filter could improve the solution's AI model for spam email. It works right most of the time.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've worked with this solution for around a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable, and I rate its stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, and I rate its scalability a ten out of ten. Both enterprises and SMBs use this solution.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support for the solution is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It is easy to set up the solution. Deploying the solution takes five minutes.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Harmony Email is an API-based solution. Legacy email gateway clouds, by comparison, only inspect internal emails, which include users' and end users' emails. Check Point inspects all emails before they reach the end user's mailbox.

What other advice do I have?

If you are looking for an anti-phishing solution, Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is the best. I rate the solution a nine out of ten because the spam filtering is still not good enough, though it does not affect the security.

Non-invasive, helps educate users, and acts as a good failsafe
Pros and Cons
  • "Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
  • "They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."

What is our primary use case?

We had the need for a solution that would allow us to integrate search and analysis into the different mail clouds. This allowed us to focus on features that were very important, such as avoiding the loss of data and content. Thanks to the search, analysis, and integration functionalities, we could integrate easily with the cloud that we have. The product gave us a greater ability to search and explore issues while minimally invasive to end users.

How has it helped my organization?

Checkpoint Harmony Email and Collaboration is one of the cloud solutions for email that has given us the most added value. It has allowed for the education of users while still keeping them protected in a non-invasive way. When configuring this solution, we have not needed to come and affect management in terms of the day-to-day tasks handled by the users. It is a solution that is directly configured at the service level, not at the user level, so it's quick to install and configure, allowing connectors through APIs that can block malicious emails before they reach the inbox. It is acting as a full replacement for data loss analysis and management issues.

What is most valuable?

Harmony email has many interesting features. Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud. It gives 100% protection and is something that is a failsafe. There are no errors. Having an app-based solution that detects everything that is lost helps ensure reliability. It is quite complete, and it integrates with emulation solutions. If an email is ever compromised, you can detect the issue, find out what happened, and protect the company. It is a very complete solution.

What needs improvement?

The solution really has many outstanding features. It is quite easy to install and configure and is very complete. 

We could analyze services such as SharePoint and have more seamless integration. They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties. That would be very helpful. Right now, we do not have complete analysis when it comes to analyzing and detecting all the data that is saved. Having a product that could sweep repositories would be great.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about a year and two months.
