Easy to integrate with good spam filtering and excellent dashboards
Pros and Cons
  • "When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document."
  • "The anti-spam features could be upgraded to be able to detect unnoticeable spam."

What is our primary use case?

The anti-spam feature has protected the company email infrastructure from viruses that may destroy useful data. 

It has enabled my department to come up with useful policies that prevent our database from ransomware attacks. 

It detects unsafe emails in advance with instant blocking to protect users. 

The product saves us time in terms of email categorization with a reliable classification system. 

When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document. 

This product has advanced our email-sharing channels with modern security tools that filter out any unsafe data.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has created a safe working environment that cannot be easily compromised. 

Sending and receiving emails from secure networks gives teams confidence in the execution of daily duties. 

Data that was being destroyed by viruses is now safe, and we can exchange ideas with our colleagues without any fear. 

It has given an opportunity to each sector to control and monitor their own data with strict set company regulations. It has provided comprehensive security to all the applications and enhanced increased production.

What is most valuable?

It is easy to integrate with other applications and operate. New users find it flexible to work with this tool and interact with all the features. 

The customer support staff provides 24/7 live support to ensure the system keeps on running and helps customers who request any help. 

Maintenance costs are efficient, and the setup process takes a few minutes. 

The spam filtering feature saves and stops the spread of viruses. 

The user dashboards provide results based on real-time insights that enable teams to plan and set achievable objectives.

What needs improvement?

The anti-spam features could be upgraded to be able to detect unnoticeable spam. 

When it comes to languages, they can be updated to cater to all communities. 

The software blade is working well, and most of the time we achieve our goals. Blocking suspicious emails has been a great achievement due to increased online threats. Before the deployment of this product, we had lost useful information to scammers. However, we are now sorted. 

The set features are working well. That said, they have to be updated on time to cater to new security demands that arise daily.

Good filtering and blocking with very good security
Pros and Cons
  • "It has several very good features that form an excellent tool."
  • "The ease of use with the user interface could be better as it is very static."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point's Anti-Spam and Email Security Blade software began to be used to protect the company's email systems since it was of utmost importance to protect all the company's communications. Often a large number of emails are sent and received every day that contain sensitive information about our clients and we needed to have a protection barrier. We also needed to filter all those emails that were potentially dangerous, in addition to providing an analysis to detect threats in time. 

How has it helped my organization?

Our company needed a tool that would provide us with an advanced security solution that would provide us with improvements in spam filtering efficiency, blocking unwanted emails, and reducing these emails. With this, we intend to protect against security threats from phishing attacks and have a more robust infrastructure. We are also able to achieve compliance. 

What is most valuable?

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is very good for the security of emails. In addition to that, it has several very good features that form an excellent tool.

There are two key features that are most important for the organization. One is the filtering of spam and the blocking of unwanted emails so that all of our employees are focused and receive emails without any malware. 

Another feature is its compliance with regulations which helps us to have safety standards.

What needs improvement?

Like any technological tool, it must always be at the forefront of the competition and this tool must make improvements in the accuracy of spam detection since it sometimes generates false messages. The ease of use with the user interface could be better as it is very static. A more current interface, on the other hand, could improve performance, and reduce possible latency.

It should also improve integration with other security products on the market since this will make it much easier to have a fairly hybrid environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used the tool for two years.

  • "Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution."
  • "I can say that the solution's price level is a problematic area that needs to be considered for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution in our company with respect to the firewall and email security solutions.

What is most valuable?

Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution.

In Email Security Software Blade, if you talk about anti-spam, it is very useful for those customers who are using Microsoft 365's Office Suite or Exchange mail servers. Every customer suggests that you have to use an anti-spam solution or anti-phishing solution. It is used as an email security solution.

What needs improvement?

I don't have any kind of point to improve because that's working well from my understanding and from my experience.

I can say that the solution's price level is a problematic area that needs to be considered for improvement. Prices could be cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade for four to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable product.

There are multiple customers using the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't connected the tech support because the deployment team connected with the Check Point team for support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The deployment hardly takes half an hour.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Comprehensive security that blocks spam and malware attacks
Pros and Cons
  • "It refreshes the dynamic database regularly to ensure IP addresses that no longer misbehave are not blocked by mistake."
  • "The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades."

What is our primary use case?

The advanced anti-spam protection platform prevents time waste and reduces the transfer of spam messages to the email inboxes of colleagues. 

It blocks phishing attacks across the entire collaboration chain among teams. 

The Email IPS protection against Denial of Service (DoS) prevents cyber attacks that can harm data. 

The antivirus protection system checks emails and attached files before sharing to enhance safety. 

It checks for malicious IP addresses that can be used to launch attacks and vulnerabilities in connection levels. 

How has it helped my organization?

It has enhanced comprehensive security in email sharing and collaboration among teams. 

It refreshes the dynamic database regularly to ensure IP addresses that no longer misbehave are not blocked by mistake. 

The anti-spam and email security system protects against advanced forms of spam with misleading patterns. It blocks offenders and easily allows trusted users to use the safeguarded network infrastructure. Employees are free to share information with their colleagues without fear of ransomware attacks.

What is most valuable?

It blocks spam and malware attacks across a secure email connection. It scrutinizes emails to ascertain whether the sender and the receiver are authenticated to share a given information. 

The content-based anti-spam tools ensure the attached files and any information being shared among teams are safe and free from attacks. 

It prevents advanced forms of spam, including image-based and foreign language spam, using pattern-based detection. The block and allow list for anti-spam denies email offenders and only allows approved trusted users. This enhances our data safety.

What needs improvement?

The set security tools can be easily incorporated with existing servers to save time and cost of developing reliable security infrastructure. I have experienced efficient performance from this product with powerful anti-spam and email IPS protection tools. 

The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades. 

Poor network infrastructure and insufficient filters leak information that is not secure sometimes. 

The product features have been doing good, and I like the customer support responses when contacted.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I am impressed by the secure network infrastructure for sharing information.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The performance has been in full gear since we deployed it.

The customer support team works closely with organization members to aid effective performance.

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not worked with products from other vendors.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation took place through the vendor for less cost and increased time-saving.

What was our ROI?

There is a continuous increase in ROI due to excellent performance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost has been good with efficient licensing terms.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have not worked with products from other vendors.

What other advice do I have?

This is a smart product that is highly productive in terms of anti-spam and email security in any enterprise.

Though the tool is highly reliable owing to its exceptional stability, it can be difficult to scale up
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is quite reliable...It is a very stable solution."
  • "The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better."

What is our primary use case?

What we use in our company from Check Point is not software. We use a box from Check Point, and in that box, we have Check Point Firewall with all those features, like antivirus, web security, etc. It has all the software, so it's not a single software on our systems.

We use Check Point products, which have been good so far. I think the solution has reached the end-of-life stage because we are facing CPU usage issues. There is a need to change something in the solution to make it stronger.

We are a financial institution that requires a certain level of security, so we use Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade.

What is most valuable?

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is quite reliable. The solution had stayed reliable up until recently when we applied new updates while having a high memory usage which ultimately affected our network traffic. So far, the solution has been good.

What needs improvement?

The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have four years of experience with Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade. I need to confirm the version of the solution I use.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a very stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's expensive right now if someone plans to scale up. One needs to pay a lot to get bigger scalability. The scalability of the solution can be very difficult.

We currently have 40 users in our company using the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I joined my current company after the setup phase.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

What was our ROI?

The worth of the solution depends on one's needs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is expensive.

I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

We have to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. The additional cost in excess of the licensing cost is done for the support.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated solutions like Sophos and Juniper in our company.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend those planning to use the solution to check their number of users, the solutions you need, along with the products or services you specifically need to run some other solutions.

The solution is difficult to scale up.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Secure with good customization but needs more AI
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point offers us flexibility when it comes to customizing the configurations that we want to manage, thus allowing us to meet the specific needs of our company."
  • "A possible improvement for the solution would be to be able to implement artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to improve the accuracy of detecting spam and malicious emails that are constantly arriving."

What is our primary use case?

It is a solution that allows us to quickly install solutions that will protect our mail against viruses or fishing. Of the features that we most want is the ability to protect them against spam. This combination of technology helps us to protect against invasive emails. Being able to prevent these anti-spam attacks from phishing will help us to have protection and control over the identity of users and prevent our users from falling for malicious attempts. 

How has it helped my organization?

This solution is designed well and is good for use in small and medium-sized companies as it has an analysis system for spam threats, phishing, and viruses and includes easy-to-install protection. 

This solution allows us to be effective. It is accessible, which has an economic impact on a small company. Having solutions from large companies that protect our mail system against spam threats is useful. It can help us offer a solution that can maintain secure communication without having to worry about a million-dollar investment. 

What is most valuable?

Check Point offers us flexibility when it comes to customizing the configurations that we want to manage, thus allowing us to meet the specific needs of our company. It can be customized in such a way that it allows us to block certain unwanted emails, such as emails from a specific sender, domains, or email addresses, generating an email policy that meets the needs of our institution and being efficient, fast, and secure.

What needs improvement?

From my perspective, a possible improvement for the solution would be to be able to implement artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to improve the accuracy of detecting spam and malicious emails that are constantly arriving. This would allow us a better adapt to new techniques. New analysis techniques on spam, phishing, or viruses would give us greater security by establishing standards and real-time analysis using AI.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Inexpensive with good blocking features and low false-positives
Pros and Cons
  • "It helped us to achieve process compliance with over 90% effectiveness."
  • "There could be an extension of the trial period to 60 days."

What is our primary use case?

The Check Point Anti Spam and Email Security software blade is a one-stop solution for the restriction and blocking of endpoints and other software threats and completely blocks their entry into the system.

It is the most widely used and has numerous functionalities and utilities. It permanently blocks the potential threat source and multiple kinds of spam mail and messages.

It is integrated into our IT system throughout and blocks over 90% of potential spam, malware attacks, and phishing attempts.

How has it helped my organization?

It helped in doing a high level of scanning of SMTP and POP3 traffic. It also blocks the email from unknown mail senders and checks the authenticity before every mail sending activity. 

It helped us to achieve process compliance with over 90% effectiveness. Their in-built smart dashboard helps in round-the-clock checking of the progress done by software in restriction of mails and potential spam attacks on our IT system.

The spam detection rate by this software is highly realistic and does not provide any false positive cases, which is very high in the case of other security solutions

There is complete restriction and entry blockage of potential threats.

What needs improvement?

There could be an extension of the trial period to 60 days. We felt that utilities and functionalities are numerous and can only be tested fully with the extension of the trial period.

It needs more and more robust features around spam restriction and stoppage of malware entry. It can be facilitated so that 100% efficiency can be achieved. 

There should be more and more inclusion of technical inputs and feedback from customers and business users. These should be regularly received and introduced so that we can stay relevant.
