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.

A stable tool capable of detecting malware while focusing on anti-phishing to protect its users
I don't see ISO 27001 in the solution. While working 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 the solution. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product. Vade needs to incorporate the aforementioned aspects to improve their solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product's environment is easy to work and comprehensive."
"We need the phishing detection and email quarantine. Once an email is considered malicious, it stays in the quarantine where we can interrogate it. We can check out why it was quarantined and see if it should be delivered to the individual."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."
"The solution has a very effective anti-phishing algorithm that detects a significantly higher number of phishing emails compared to the default Microsoft solution."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails."
"It is fast and quite effective in terms of preventing any security incidents."
"It is a stable solution...My company has no worries about the deployment phase of Vade for Office 365."
 

Cons

"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"Its guides are not great."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda."
"Check Point could improve its marketing strategy."
"For tech people who want to dive deep into self-servicing capabilities, Check Point could improve in this area."
"We understand that false positives are always there, but sometimes the notifications are more than expected."
"Support could be improved, as it is only available in English."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"Cost is the main concern that every customer takes into consideration, and Check Point always negotiates a price that is affordable."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"I'm in this business as a system integrator, so I need to suggest Check Point to some customers who are comparing products. I sell Check Point, Fortinet, and Palo Alto solutions. In terms of licensing, this solution is quite competitive but very costly. For someone looking at security as a primary concern, they should only invest in Check Point. For a customer who is looking at security combined with pricing, Check Point might not be the core solution for them. In today's market, customers are looking for effective security with efficient pricing, and Check Point is not suitable for these types of customers."
"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Vade for Office 365 is a solution offered at competitive prices in the market...Payment has to be made for the whole bundle of Vade products."
