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.

A stable and scalable solution to deal with spam and phishing emails
It is difficult for me to talk about areas that require improvement in the solution since I am quite new to the product, but I know that Vade provides an MSP solution. Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality. The lack of sandboxing functionality cannot be considered a weakness since there are other solutions to deal with faster when it comes to sandboxing. Overall it is a good solution with which we work in our company, so I don't see any clear weaknesses in the solution. It can take a long time for customers to study and operate straight away in a sandbox environment. The solution is okay if it makes the job faster for its users. I don't see ISO 27001 in Vade Cloud Email Security. While functioning on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to Vade Cloud Email Security. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"The threat management database provides consistent updates."
"Because of its features and abilities, it has saved us from a lot of possible breaches."
"We can say that with Check Point Cloud Guard SaaS, we have improved our security to the next level."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"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."
"Sensitive business data is effectively protected from any third-party attacks that can easily destroy confidential information."
"The most valuable features of the solution are how the product works against phishing and provides centralization, allowing users to recognize phishing emails."
 

Cons

"We still get some false positives. There are times when legitimate stuff gets flagged and it could be that somebody is expecting a very important email but they don't end up getting it. On the flip side, when we alert Check Point about stuff like this, it is corrected, so they are improving. That's a plus."
"I would like the agents to perform better; sometimes, they are too heavy for endpoints, and they affect performance."
"I would like Check Point to extend its coverage to include more cloud applications."
"Stability has been a pain point. I was going back and forth with my product engineer and project manager for a couple of months. I had the product in a demonstration mode and wasn't satisfied with the results initially. After a few alterations and a few revisions later, it is fine."
"Other vendor support teams go after fixing the issue the moment that they join the remote session. The problem that I have faced with Check Point support is that they share the case number with me, then it takes at least two days for them to join a remote session with us, even though we have asked for this timeframe to change. Even though we have already explained the problems that we are facing or the business pain points in our network on the call or email, we have to repeat the problem statements again in the console. It can take four or five days to resolve the issue from the moment they understand the problem. This includes the time to teach their R&D or internal team whatever the issue is. I have faced timeframes as long as seven to 10 days for fixing some issues."
"The implementation could definitely be better."
"For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."
"Some files are not scanned thoroughly due to occasional network failures."
"Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality...when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."
"One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."
"It is a competitively-priced solution in the market...There are no additional payments for maintenance or support."
