Pricing that is competitive, excellent technical support, and email security
They do a better job of distinguishing between what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we've tried. They are very easy to use. We don't have as many problems with email security. They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use Zix email Encryption for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent.
Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer

Email security effectively detects a wide range of threats and improves productivity
Since we have been using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for a year, we haven't encountered significant challenges. However, it would be beneficial if it could support other email security services beyond Microsoft and Google. Integration with other platforms would enhance its appeal since the features are commendable. While the analytics are commendable, they don't provide deep dive insights. They show the overall counts of malware, phishing, and business compromise emails, but there isn't a robust ability to dive deeper into those categories to see specifics. Analytics should allow us to explore which users received malware emails the most or trends among departments. Currently, we have to sift through manually, which is not ideal. A more profound analytical capability would elevate the tool to become the complete email security solution for any user.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to use and user-friendly. Users can also easily release spam emails."
"They are very easy to use."
"It is fast and quite effective in terms of preventing any security incidents."
"Its characteristics are adapted to the most modern threats."
"The sanitization feature of Check Point Harmony Email and Collaboration is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"It is the collaboration between users inside the company. It is a big advantage with Check Point to be able to work together on the same document."
"The API is its most valuable feature. On the API side, relative to the rest of the market, Check Point is decades ahead of its competitors."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
 

Cons

"Email security checks contain a small number of false positives."
"It needs to make sure that the application is up to date with new attacks. They should also send us the demo or introductions for their new incoming features."
"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."
"The implementation could definitely be better."
"During the East Coast server outage with Amazon service this week, mail was delivered and then pulled back because Harmony wasn't working properly and needed to scan it."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."
"Sometimes they do not provide immediate assistance, and it can take time for them to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can rate it five out of ten because there are different platforms that also offer the same services for lower prices. But AppRiver is more flexible."
"They're fairly inexpensive, but they're right in the ballpark of most of the other online products like that."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"The product’s price is very high."
"The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"The pricing is competitive."
