I've used the solution for eight months.

This platform is highly stable and offers an enhanced secure collaboration infrastructure.

The comprehensive email security provision has impressed the teams.

The customer service team has always offered the best support services.

Positive

I have no experience with other related software.

The setup was straightforward.

Implementation was done through the vendor.

ROI stands at 45% - currently up from 30%.

The setup cost and set budgets are suitable for most businesses-level enterprises.

I evaluated different solutions, however, we decided to settle on Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration due to its efficiency.

I am impressed by the overall performance of this software.

With the evolution of technologies, attacks also evolve. This is why we need to secure mail. We have chosen to include Harmony Email in our Office 365 mail solution to thus proactively ensure any incident that we may have in the future is dealt with. It gives us complete security support from anywhere. Wherever our users are, the solution will always be protecting them. 

Like any company, we care about security and having exposure to various clients and departments. We can be violated or have identity theft attempts, and this is where Check Point Harmony Email (and its computing power that is integrated from the Check Point cloud) comes in. It gives us the protection and analysis, to help us avoid phishing attacks and malware. By integrating solutions such as DLP, we can protect our identity and data. 

Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure.

One of the best features is the analysis and emulation carried out with each file attached to the emails, which makes each of the deliveries we make via email more secure. This function creates a scalable sandboxing where a copy of the file under analysis is made, and it is verified, scanned, and analyzed to each of our files for malicious links. If it finds a link, it emulates its action to determine if it is benign or malignant to deliver clean and safe data.

Something worth mentioning is the need for Spanish language support and better representation for teams in the Latin American area. There is a growing demand for these IT services and new technologies.

Its guides are not great. It would be more pleasing if these guides could be updated and improved in their design. 

The support that most requires attention is the phone calls or the cases through the support page. Several times, through the chat function, we found that it gets stuck and does not bring up the live chat.

I've used the solution for around two years.

The solution is very easy to scale.

There is a need for more support in Spanish. 

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution. 

It is quick to configure. The advantage is that it does not need us to install an agent on the machines. Everything is done from the administrators' consoles. 

We did not previously evaluate other options. 

It is a simple tool and centralizes its administration. Being able to request a POC from Check Point is a good opportunity that will give new users an opportunity to assess the quality and security capacity that it can provide. 

The advanced software blocks advanced email phishing that can affect information infrastructure. 

It keeps my colleagues safe when interacting with our partners through collaboration. 

Our communication networking system is secure from end to end to enhance information safety and prevent cyber attacks. 

Sending emails is fast and efficient within the organization's ecosystem. This product provides security alerts when there is a threat that can affect our communication channel.

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

A secure collaboration environment has enhanced faster growth due to productive sessions convened by teams. 

It blocks unsafe emails before landing inbox to avoid time wastage. Blocking malicious emails has enabled employees to focus on their roles fully without fear of being attacked. 

Consistent security across the company infrastructure has saved the company costs that could be accrued from an insecure work environment.

Securing major file-sharing services across the company has been productive since we deployed this platform. 

The security system has a stable data protection system that has prevented potential data loss. 

This product detects malicious behavior in advance and immediately quarantines files before they can spread viruses to the entire network. 

URL protection features give me the confidence to browse the internet without fear of visiting unsafe sites. 

The user dashboard updates systems automatically to meet the current enterprise demands.

The system has programmed categories of threats that are detected automatically. 

This can lead to virus leakage and spread malicious data across the enterprise. 

The cost of deployment and integration with other applications is high. 

Some files are not scanned thoroughly due to occasional network failures.

This is a great product with high-performance features.

We are using Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect our organization from phishing attacks. For example, our CEO received phishing emails with a subject line 'Fund Relief,' and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration helped block it.

The features I appreciate about Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration include notifications about email reputation and phishing protection. As the admin, I am notified immediately when phishing attacks occur, allowing me to block harmful emails quickly. This notification feature ensures that I have control over email activity and helps maintain data security.

Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration could improve by providing configuration recommendations and use case specific solutions.

Our company has licensed Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration for twenty users, and I have just started configuring it.

I think Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration's scalability is excellent. It allows us to scale protection for more users as needed, potentially up to hundreds or thousands.

I would rate customer support eight out of ten. Though it's my first product from Check Point, I find the service good.

Positive

We did not use any specific email solution before this, except for Microsoft's built-in Defender with Office 365.

The initial setup of Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration was easy because it is cloud-based, and there is a helpful guide on the dashboard.

Investing in Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has protected our company data from theft, providing clear ROI. This solution manages threats, reducing my concern about daily email monitoring.

I advise organizations to use Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration to protect against phishing attacks and data thefts. I would rate the overall solution eight out of ten.

Our corporate environment requires business protection for email and our collaboration tools to avoid threats, spam, and ransomware, among other threats coming in through email. This could have great effects on our systems and equipment.

With Check Point, we can protect our data in the cloud with tools such as One Drive, among others.

The tool works with different manufacturers, which provides great reliability.

Check Point has helped us improve our security layer with this complete cloud solution. We no longer depend on a Gateway as it is a complete solution that helps us prevent any type of threat that travels through email.

We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point.

We also really like its centralized environment since the Check Point Infinity Portal really centralizes everything.                 

The platform offers advanced security measures to protect emails from cyber threats such as phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware.

The platform is cloud-based, which means users can access their emails and collaboration tools from anywhere and on any device.

The security of collaboration tools is great.

The platform integrates with other productivity and collaboration tools like Microsoft Office, Slack, and Zoom.

Maybe they could integrate the solution with Avanan. Doing that would really make it a very robust solution.

They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response.

The solution lacks public documentation and some documentation is not so clear, which means that the client does not understand the implementation that must be carried out.

You can only see the costs through a Check Point partner.                           

This is a very productive tool. We used it for a few months. It really helped us protect against threats in email and Microsoft collaborative tools.

Previously we did not use more than the security provided by Microsoft itself. We have since changed to Check Point.

As for the cost, it is per protected user. It seems good to me in that aspect however, the issue of implementation sometimes costs a bit. That's okay if it can be done correctly. The licenses are easy to acquire.

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. 

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.

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

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.

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. 

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.

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

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

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. 

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

About one year ago, we decided to switch from the on-premises located email server, based on Zimbra software, to the cloud-based Office 365 provided by Microsoft. We did this because of the increased load that followed after the company's growth.

To provide the security coverage to the new email service, we chose the Check Point CloudGuard SaaS solution. Now it serves as the main protection mechanism, with about 500 users and up to 10,000 emails per day, and there are no problems with the scalability for future growth.

The Check Point CloudGuard SaaS solution is used mostly to prevent malware and zero-day threats. It protects the Microsoft Office 365 cloud email service users of our company against attacks. It is also capable of stopping the sophisticated phishing attacks on the Office 365 accounts and block the possible account hijacks.

It would be really hard to achieve such a level of protection with the on-premises email server without using some email-server specific software, but with CloudGuard SaaS it was easy to integrate the security into the Microsoft email services.

As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts. In general, the monitoring and alerting is just great, and the default dashboards provided are used by our support team as part of the SoC solution.

In addition, the CloudGuard SaaS is capable of preventing data leakage, thus may serve as the basic DLP system for the cloud email system. We rely on this functionality and block the emails that contain the card numbers patterns as part of the compliance regulations.

From time to time, the system's administrators notice the increase in the false-positive alerts being reported by CloudGuard SaaS. The increase usually lasts for several days, with the longest we observed being about a week. During these periods, some number of the "clean" emails are blocked and not delivered to the end-users. I hope the Check Point team would work on improving the detection algorithm and the amount of the false-positive alerts would be more predictable, stable on the minimal level. 

We onboarded the Check Point CloudGuard SaaS about a year ago, after switching from our on-prem email system to the cloud-based Office 365.

The solution is mature and stable.

The solution is scalable. We now have about 500 active users and see no issues with the performance. 

We haven't had any support cases opened for Check Point CloudGuard SaaS so far.

We didn't have previous experience with any SaaS security solution before switching.

The setup was straightforward, but quite long due to the need for API integration configuration. In total, it took us about a month to deploy.

The solution was implemented by the in-house team of security engineers and email system administrators, without the prior experience of the CloudGuard SaaS.

We didn't evaluate the other products, since we have a strong expertise among the team with the other Check Point solution, and were satisfied with them.
