“The perfect protection tool if you use SaaS”

5.0
Nov 7, 2025
This product is undoubtedly the best on the market. The ease of setup and integration with Office 365 and G Suite is simply spectacular. However, if you use non-SaaS email platforms, this could be a problem. In terms of features, it offers very powerful and configurable engines. You can divide your protection preferences into rules and apply them to different user groups. It also includes new tools like Smart Banners, which dynamically alerts users in real time in their inboxes.

“Manual Investigation Required Due to Frequent False Positives and Negatives in Filtering”

2.0
Feb 23, 2026
Check Point Harmony blocks a lot of malicious emails. However, there are quite a few false negatives and positives. So we still end up with a lot of manual work.

- Mail Explorer with its filters. - Restore Requests page.

Like

really like how it adds an additional layer of security without getting in the way, it catches threats in emails and shared files before they become a threat for us, and it works smoothly with tools like outlook and teams. makes everything feel safer without slowing things down

Dislike

- Support for other native email platforms: If you don't have Office 365 or G Suite, this isn't a good option. - Platform navigation: You often need to know the tricks or shortcuts to configure exclusions or review advanced settings. I think the interface can be cumbersome. - New features: This might seem a bit contradictory, but let me explain. By rushing to add new modules, they're affecting the core administration experience, since they're integrating recently acquired products that haven't yet been integrated or adapted to the Check Point environment. This creates a back-and-forth for administrators, generating confusion. To clarify, this doesn't affect the product's functionality.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

- Too many false negatives and false positives. - Although there is a lot of text on every email I most often do not understand Check Point's decision when it comes to false positives and negatives. - The email transport chain is of no use. It shows that all emails are being routed over the US East Coast. Some emails are not even leaving the East Coast. While we are located in Europe.

Dislike

Sometimes it feels a bit too strict and flags things that are safe. It also takes a little time to get used to the settings and how everything works together. Not a big issue, but it can slow things down when you need to adjust something quickly.

    Seamless Email Security Integration Can Cause Occasional Delays Due to Strict Filters

    4.0
    Nov 28, 2025
    Overall if a say like with this Harmony Email and collaboration which is great support. It has made a huge difference in how we handle email security without adding extra steps or slowing anything down, it filters threats, especially with so many users who are working remotely and sharing files across different platforms. But sometimes the filtering is too strict and blocks important emails, forcing me to spend time checking the quarantine or checking the settings.Overall it's a good and also helpful.

    We introduced Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration software in our organisation close to 5 years ago. The software has made our lives in the work place easier by ensuring comprehensive email security. It filters out malicious emails, eliminates all forms of email based attacks and prevents spamming. Deployment and configuration of the software is easy and the implementation process is very smooth. Through use of this software, we are able to have a complete view of suspicious emails before they get into our inboxes.

    Check Point Avanan is Great

    Feb 11, 2026
    For the price, the product delivers great protection against email spam/attacks. It does what the other people do at a 1/3 of the price. I almost never need to check the product in a good way. I have also been happy with the additional features they add to the product each year. It is always nice when you can see a product still being developed and not stagnated.
