The initial setup is very simple because only API configuration was there. We provide a user and password on our dashboard, and we can use it remotely. 

It took only 10 to 15 minutes to deploy. Initially, it takes time to collect the data and create timelines. The solution doesn't require any maintenance.

People already use the product as a SaaS-based tool, but it can be complex if used at an in-house level only. As a SaaS-based tool, the product is easy to use without complexities.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution can be deployed in twenty minutes to half an hour.

The initial setup of the solution was extremely straightforward and extremely simple. You just connect your Office 365 environment into it, the policy is about a half-a-dozen check boxes of decisions that you make, and the product starts to function and starts to inspect your mail and protect your mail immediately. You will see immediate results. I make the joke that it takes 30 minutes to deploy, and that's with a cup of coffee in the middle. It's a very, very, very, easy product to deploy.

Our implementation strategy was that we went in using Detect mode. We let it run in Detect mode for approximately two weeks to get to a comfort level regarding the accuracy of the product, and then we turned it into Prevent (Inline) mode. Our concern was that we were going to see a lot of false positives. But in fact, we didn't actually see any false positives. Everything that it caught was 100 percent accurate and malicious. Over the time we've run the product, which is approximately three years, we have had to release from quarantine, in total, over those three years, less than 100 emails. That's impressive.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's actually quite easy to set up and configure because the system handles everything. You don't have to install anything separately. You install the agent for the whole solution, and you can choose to enable or disable the email component. Then you simply configure a few settings, and you're done. The real action happens in how it handles incoming emails.

Head: Cloud Platform Security at BCX Namibia

I rate the product's initial setup a nine out of ten since the setup phase is seamless 99 percent of the time. If the end user customized the Office 365 tenant a lot, then a manual setup might be required.

The solution is deployed on the public cloud while supporting cloud services from Google and Microsoft.

The deployment process of the solution takes about five minutes. It would probably take ten minutes if we consider from start to finish of the deployment process.

For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Harmony Email & Collaboration module and then provide the credentials to your Office 365 tenant, following which the integration process starts.

The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution.

The deployment took almost four to five years.

I am from the presale side, the solution architecture side. The implementation and deployment teams are different. We have a different team for the deployments and implementations of any particular solution.

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.

Compared to other solutions, like Fortinet, this solution's initial setup is complex. Policy configuration and integrations make Check Point's setup difficult. The setup for on-premise and cloud are the same.

The setup was pretty straightforward. We were up and running within a week.

It is my manager and I who are using and maintaining the solution on a daily basis. In terms of maintenance, we've had mis-classifications of emails where we had to reach out to Check Point and they have assisted and helped us fix any issues that we have come across.
