We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and Fortinet FortiMail Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
"Getting reports and finding threats in the console is easy."
"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
"It is very intuitive. It is a point and click type of deal."
"If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important."
"This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes."
"The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."

"The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"We need to be able to whitelist data at the backend."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"We noticed that from time to time, Microsoft's stability does have problems. Sometimes the service goes up and down. Sometimes they change without prior notice."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective."
"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."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"Check Point has to continue refining the intelligence engine to minimize the number of false positives."
"There could be more automation features included for it."
"Check Point's technical support is very much of a low level, especially with respect to other vendors and OEMs."
"Support can be a bit quicker in helping the customer."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"Networking should be simplified."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
