Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and Trellix Collaboration Security compete in the email and collaboration security space. Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration appears to have an advantage due to its advanced AI features and seamless integration capabilities.

Features: Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is noted for its AI-driven threat intelligence, seamless integration with Microsoft 365, and flexibility in managing security. Features like sandboxing, phishing detection, and malware defense are emphasized. Trellix Collaboration Security provides strong malware and threat detection capabilities alongside secure file sharing, focusing on preventing phishing attacks and malware infections.

Room for Improvement: Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration requires better dashboard customization and integration with non-cloud systems.

Network Architect at IP Dimension

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Harish (Kumar)

Cybersecurity And Information Governance Head at Aeren

Email security has blocked sophisticated phishing and now protects inboxes with AI detection

The only challenge with Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) is that it is an API-based solution. In an API-based solution, the major challenge is that it can read email content and Google Drive content. This presents a data privacy challenge, and we had to mitigate it by signing a Data Processing Agreement and other agreements. Because it is not a traditional in-line solution, Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) connects with Google Workspace using API permission and can access email, attachments, sender, recipient information, links, and all metadata is with Check Point. Data storage and everything else is with Check Point, which is the challenge. This solution has a drawback because of API deployment, while other solutions are traditional secure email gateways that are in-line solutions. In those solutions, we need to change the MX record, but with this solution we do not need to change the MX record, which is a pro of API-based deployment. However, there is also a con in that with API solutions, the email is scanned but after delivery in the mailbox.

Jorge Abalo

Endpoint Security Analyst at BNP Paribas

Endpoint protection has strengthened network control and has simplified global threat response

In my opinion, the best features Trellix Collaboration Security offers include the firewall, the on-access scan, and the ability to obtain daily signatures for the latest malware. These daily signatures, referred to as content, ensure that we are protected against the most recent malware threats recognized by other companies. Another feature I particularly enjoy is the capability to maintain different locations that can communicate with the fabric, or DXL fabric as I refer to it, allowing me to create something akin to an EDR for immediate responses to resolve issues. The DXL fabric has helped my organization by enabling communication between different locations, such as one in Europe, another in South America, and one here. This fabric communicates with a broker that interacts with the TIE servers, which maintain the reputation of files, certificates, and known signatures from various regions including Europe, South America, and Canada. When something suspicious occurs, such as a certificate appearing malicious on an application, I can easily click and indicate that I trust this file, and through the fabric, I can apply an exclusion for that application across all locations simultaneously. Other features I find valuable include the SSO integration with Trellix EPO, specifically SAML SSO, allowing people not to have to manage usernames and passwords if they already utilize an SSO service for SAML; I consider this functionality to be quite beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The quarantine and release functionality for malware and junk mail is much more simplified than with previous products, and it has reduced effort in tickets and manpower not needing to do this for people who would have to normally put in a ticket."

"The option to set a copy is beneficial."

"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."

"The solution is stable and I think it does a fantastic job."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Encryption of emails enhances safe communication that ransomware attacks cannot compromise."

"After we organized it with the consulting company and set the first rules, after one week the system seemed to have learned the company's pattern, and we managed to achieve a reduction of almost eighty to ninety percent on spam and false emails, which was very good at the time."

"I like the fact that having granular information about the potential threats is received in email."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) pros

"FireEye ETP has blocked several campaigns that lead to the post compromise deployment of ransomware, Obfuscated Outlook Phishing impersonation, Attachment based Phishing."

"The accessibility is one of the features that I love; we can control it from the cloud and we can access it from anywhere."

"A specific example of how I have used Trellix Collaboration Security in my consulting work is in my current work environment, where I manage over 130,000 endpoints, allowing me to protect each endpoint with a firewall, which makes a significant difference because the entire network is not protected by a network firewall alone."

"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."

"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."

More Trellix Collaboration Security pros

Cons

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

More Cloudflare One cons

"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."

"The dashboard is the major area for improvement, but apart from that, all the rest is acceptable."

"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."

"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."

"There could be more automation features included for it."

"Currently, Check Point HEC supports only Microsoft Office 365 and Google Sheets. In today's world, some clients are using old email service provider solutions, so it would be better if HEC also provides support for third-party email service solutions, such as IBM HCL Notes, creating more opportunities."

"If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option."

"In terms of DLP, there is limited functionality on outgoing DLP specifically."

More Check Point Email Security (formerly Harmony Email & Collaboration) cons

"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."

"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."

"I observe that the return on investment is hindered by the lack of adequate training opportunities, with Trellix's own training being quite costly, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, which many small or medium-sized businesses cannot afford."

"If you really need something powerful to handle multiple routes and delivery points then this solution might not be for you."

"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."

"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."

"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."

"The spam detection feature could be better."

More Trellix Collaboration Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not that expensive."
