Great zero-day protection and very useful against data leaks and loss
Pros and Cons
  • "Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
  • "They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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%

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

A stable solution that does a fantastic job of catching things Microsoft doesn't, but implementation could be easier
Pros and Cons
  • "The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
  • "The implementation could definitely be better."

What is our primary use case?

At the moment, we're heavily using the email and collaboration features. We are also licensed for the mobile part, which we are sort of working into, and CloudGuard as well. We're kind of working through those features. 

What needs improvement?

The implementation could definitely be better. We had great support from Check Point, but there were some "got-you" moments where we got surprises as we were setting it up. When Check Point talks about it, it's all "plug and play," but it's not really one of those platforms where you can just jump in and click a few buttons and everything works. You need to have a bit of knowledge about what you're doing and it's a bit more complicated than they advertise.

In the future I would like to see something similar to what Proofpoint has, where users can actually go in and make the call to release their own emails. We've got a small number of users, so it's okay for the IT team to constantly be bombarded with our emails for releasing, but I would love to have an option where I can allow users to go in and make the call to release an email, and then of course it would only actually be released if it passes certain things.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about a year and a half now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and I think it does a fantastic job. The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic. There's a few things that get flagged by Microsoft, most of them false positives, so it's interesting. Harmony passes it through and Microsoft thinks it's spam, but usually it's not.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very easy to scale. There are between 500-550 active users in our company. We have a team of three people that look after the environment, but that is only part of their responsibilities. I think it would do very well with one full-time person handling the maintenance. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support was brilliant, but that's the thing when you're buying something, usually the initial support is top notch. It's been a year and a half now, and we haven't had any urgent technical issues that we've had to go back for help with, but at the start, when we were implementing the solution, we had good support. They were on the ball and they really stepped up.

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

What we used in the past was an outfit called MSX.

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

Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We considered the Microsoft inbuilt solution, and the advice that we got from a lot of people was, if you want to use that one, combine it with something else. That is what we ended up doing, because it came as part of our licensing with 365, but we can tell that it was a good idea to combine it with Check Point because it will let a lot of things pass.

Also, I know CrowdStrike is cheaper with their Falcon offering, but I haven't had the opportunity to work with it. The reason why I went with Check Point was because I have worked with it in the past and I like their product, so that was the biggest push. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten.

Easy to deploy with simple integration and straightforward management
Pros and Cons
  • "The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
  • "We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected."

What is our primary use case?

We acquired Check Point Harmony to protect our email environment in Office 365. In general terms, the false positives rate has stayed low, and detection rates and successful threat preventions have increased. It filters malicious emails, cleans documents, and effectively prevents phishing attacks. These processes happening in the cloud give peace of mind that the protective actions are taking place before they reach the endpoint, making it safer and adding layers of protection key to keeping the network safe.

How has it helped my organization?

A lot of these attacks and malware now come hidden in ways we expect the least, and since we never think we'll be targets of a cyber attack, this makes us vulnerable to them. Check Point Harmony gives us great visibility of the threats we are being exposed to, where they are coming from and what were they targeting, giving visibility of the weak gateways that could lead to an infection or a leakage. Management is easy, and integration is too, support is good, and the steps followed to set it up were very simple.

What is most valuable?

The previous solution we had for email protection required a lot of investment from us, both money and time-wise. 

The software is easy to deploy and maintain, and the administration and operation of it require very few interventions from the IT team. 

The solution also integrates amazingly with our network's server environment for collaboration and email apps. The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great.

What needs improvement?

We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected. We've seen clean emails being blocked, thanks to this. 

There are some delays when applying new administrative functions. Sometimes going through the documentation is complex and can be a bit confusing; reporting from the dashboard could get some improvements, too. However, in general, we feel satisfied with Email and Collaboration as it delivers the expected results regarding threat prevention. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for more than three years.

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.

Pros and Cons

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
