We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration and Kaspersky Security for Mail Server 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."The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the ease of use."
"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"Threat Explorer is an invaluable tool for me, and it plays a crucial role in helping me discern the origins of various email campaigns, pinpointing where they emanate from, and identifying the individuals within our organization who are affected."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"Our customers are satisfied with Defender for 365 because Microsoft products are easy to use and customize to meet the client's needs. Everything is in one place, so we can adjust policies as needed for phishing, DLP, ATP, or any other security features that our clients want to apply."
"Threat Explorer is one of the features that I very much like because it is a real-time report that allows you to identify, analyze, and trace security attacks."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point."
"The setup is very easy. I haven't faced any complexity with the setup of the solution."
"The program has a nice interface and it is easy to use."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"We are able to protect sensitive business data and maintain regulatory compliance with advanced data leak prevention (DLP)."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup."
"The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."
"You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"The visibility for the weaknesses in the system and unauthorized access can be improved."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"The product must provide better malware detection."
"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"Other vendor support teams go after fixing the issue the moment that they join the remote session. The problem that I have faced with Check Point support is that they share the case number with me, then it takes at least two days for them to join a remote session with us, even though we have asked for this timeframe to change. Even though we have already explained the problems that we are facing or the business pain points in our network on the call or email, we have to repeat the problem statements again in the console. It can take four or five days to resolve the issue from the moment they understand the problem. This includes the time to teach their R&D or internal team whatever the issue is. I have faced timeframes as long as seven to 10 days for fixing some issues."
"Cloud Guard would be a complete solution if Check Point added a comprehensive data loss solution that included capabilities such as bulk data transfer detection."
"There is always room for improvement and growth."
"I have learned enough to make the product stable. However, the stability has some challenges."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"We have used technical support, but their response time is very slow. It needs to be improved."
"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."
"Check Point's technical support is very much of a low level, especially with respect to other vendors and OEMs."
"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't."
"The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement."
"The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."
"Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on."
"Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users."
