I like best about Avanan Cloud Email Security is that it keeps my inbox safe without making things complicated. It catches phishing emails and harmful links before they reach me, and I don’t have to do anything—it just works quietly in the background. It also integrates well with platforms like Outlook and Gmail, so there’s no need to switch tools or change how I work. The alerts are clear and helpful, and it doesn’t slow down my email at all. Overall, it gives me confidence that my communication is secure without adding any extra steps to my day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the alerts can be a bit frequent, but overall it keeps email protection smooth and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Avanan Cloud Email Security is great because it’s easy to use and works well with common email platforms. It helps block phishing, spam, and other threats before they reach the inbox. I like that it runs in the background without getting in the way and keeps everything safe without needing a lot of effort. The solution was very easy to implement and integrates smoothly with existing email platforms. The customer support team is also responsive and helpful, which makes the overall experience much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best feature I like about Avanan Cloud Email Security is its inline feature where it blocks the mail before it goes to the mailbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is only cloud based and it can only be integrated with Office365 or Google Suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Avanan is that it works where we work. It doesn’t force us to change how we do email—it just integrates directly into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and starts protecting immediately. That kind of seamless setup is rare in security tools.

It’s also incredibly good at catching real threats without getting in the way. Phishing emails, spoofed senders, suspicious links—it catches them before our users even know they existed. And if something does slip through, it can remove it from inboxes automatically, which is a huge relief for IT.

Another big plus is the visibility it gives us. The dashboard is clean and informative, and the reports actually make sense. We can see what’s happening, what was blocked, and why—without digging through a maze of menus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some settings and policy controls feel buried or not clearly explained. You sometimes have to click around a bit to find what you’re looking for, especially if you’re new to the platform. Small frustration is that advanced policy configuration and DLP rules can feel a bit technical. The flexibility is there, which is great, but the learning curve for setting up more complex rules is steeper than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about Avanan is how seamlessly it works with our existing email setup—whether you're using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, it just plugs in via API. No complex setup or rerouting email traffic. It’s quick to deploy and doesn’t disrupt anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge for me has been the alert noise. The platform is very good at detecting threats, but sometimes it flags too much—especially during the early stages of deployment. It can take a while to fine-tune the policies so you're not flooded with alerts that turn out to be false positives. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it does require some upfront effort. We also noticed that policy customization—especially for more advanced DLP or encryption scenarios—can get a bit tricky. The flexibility is there, but it’s not always as straightforward as it could be, and the documentation doesn’t always explain things in simple terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up Checkpoint Harmony Email is a straightforward process. I found the deployment to be very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is the limited range of supported email platforms and deployment models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and has a low false positive rate. Relatively easy to setup and configure, integrated with Google workspace quickly. Generally low maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is a little slow to respond but is normally helpful. I have had 2 incidents where emails which should have been quarantined still got delivered due to a "processing error", but otherwise it has been pretty solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Harmony Email provides advanced filtering, threat detection and unmatched security in the email workspace. I like the web interface in Check Point Infinity Platform that lets me see quarentined emails in Check Point and Microsoft 365 outlook, also there are many filtering options to find emails.

There is a bit of a delay between sending and receiving emails (especially with lots of files) but it's still very fast and usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. API integration is very much simple and easy.

2. Additionally, it provides the 0365 details in Checkpoint console which helps in tracing the complete email flow.

3.Show IT feature is very much helpful in identifying other security loopholes in the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.Limited third-party email integration via API integration.

2.Sometimes we are receiving more False positive alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our overall experience with Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration has been very positive, as it has significantly strengthened our email security and reduced phishing emails that previously bypassed Microsoft 365 Defender. What I like most about the product is its strong detection and filtering capabilities, which provide peace of mind and noticeable improvements in protection. What I dislike most is that the management interface could be more intuitive, as some settings require extra effort to navigate, but this is a minor issue compared to the security benefits.
