Good anti-spam capabilities with easy management and regional blacklisting
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution helped us lock down and have our infrastructure easier to manage."
  • "I would like this solution to be more integrated into other applications that Check Point has so that it could be managed quickly and safely from the Infinity Portal."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is one of the valuable features that we have available in quantum equipment. It gave us that layer of protection and event solutions to safeguard the security of events and activities. In our network, it's analyzing everything that enters our network or leaves it.

Among the attacks that we had to avoid events by SMTP, POP, or DDoS, and additionally, protect ourselves from image or language attacks. We've been able to block regions by IP addresses or locations.

How has it helped my organization?

We currently have several regions blocked by blacklisted IP addresses or insecure domain senders, thus raising the level of protection that the institution has. We use this feature frequently due to our mail service, which is a hybrid service.

This solution helped us lock down and have our infrastructure easier to manage.

We've solved protection against buffer overflow that has caused our server to freeze or be slower when receiving or sending emails.

What is most valuable?

The anti-spam feature helps to verify the reputation of the databases in a reputational way. It manages to compare each request with a complete base of IP addresses. This layer eliminates around 70 percent of the attacks that enter through and are part of the most common attacks that our less expert users receive. We are now capable of differentiating this type of incident. This database is constantly updated to protect the equipment and thus validate if these addresses.

What needs improvement?

I would like this solution to be more integrated into other applications that Check Point has so that it could be managed quickly and safely from the Infinity Portal, thus being even more cloud-based in its management. Among the things that I would also like would be an application for cell phones where you can manage this type of event, if required, be it Android or iOS. It would thus be more disruptive by taking advantage of market demands and ensuring protection.

A stable anti-spam and malware phishing solution that can be deployed quickly

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.

It's a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

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.

How are customer service and support?

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

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.

Good DLP, email filtering, and malware detection
Pros and Cons
  • "DLP features can help prevent sensitive information from being leaked via email."
  • "The support language is only English."

What is our primary use case?

In our company, we use Office 365 to run the office, including email and some security tools from Microsoft. The tools did not satisfy us, so we decided to use Check Point technology. It gave us protection against spam, ransomware, and phishing, among other modern threats that travel through the email of collaborators.

In the end, the implementation through the Check Point blade is simple and easy to manage. 

We are really pleased with this tool that facilitated the management of these behaviors and problems that it generated for end users and the company itself.

How has it helped my organization?

Thanks to this tool acquired through The Check Point blade, we can have a layer of protection with the manufacturer for our email products. We can regulate and eliminate in a great way the threats that can enter through email.

The company, in turn, has managed to considerably lower the spam received, which also saturated the company's mailboxes a lot. It is a great tool that is easy to implement and with great considerations to be able to put it in the company.

What is most valuable?

Email filtering. The software can filter incoming emails to identify and block spam and other unwanted messages.

Malware detection. The software can detect and block malware attachments and links in emails. This is important for preventing malware infections and other security threats.

DLP features can help prevent sensitive information from being leaked via email. This may involve scanning emails for specific types of content or attachments and then either blocking or encrypting those emails.

What needs improvement?

Support is really an area that needs to be improved, as they currently take a very long time to resolve cases, which is not acceptable.

The support language is only English. They could expand other languages to expand more easily and help the client in a better way.

Regarding cost management, they are only accessible through a partner. This makes it more difficult to find pricing and do budgeting.

In terms of the ease of documentation, sometimes it is a bit difficult to find the correct information about the product.                   

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used this solution for email protection in our company for quite some time with excellent results.

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

Previously, Microsoft technology was used, however, we did not like it.

We moved to Check Point.

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

Regarding its license issues and costs, it seems reasonable to me.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We always do field and theoretical evaluations to verify the best options for similar products.

Excellent protection with policies and anti-spam capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a fairly old solution, however, that has been updated over time to become one of the best manufacturers of security solutions."
  • "The cost is high when putting through Check Point Blade in your Gateway."

What is our primary use case?

It has helped us to avoid large amounts of spam, which consumed space in our online exchange. 

With this, we also avoid expenses and also protect our users.

Protection policies were easy to implement to protect us from existing threats.

This tool is very good. It can be included through the anti-spam blade in our Check Point Gateway and is an easy implementation. The product helped us avoid threats from non-permitted domains and control domains with IPs reported as fraudulent or as threats.       

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point solutions are very good. It's a fairly old solution. However, that has been updated over time to become one of the best manufacturers of security solutions.

Check Point Anti Spam is a very interesting and good tool. It has helped us a lot against modern threats, spam, and domains that are marked as threats. In this way, we have improved business security,

The solution has also been modernized in Harmony. However, this solution is included in our Gateway and makes it easier to use.

It's improved against email attacks greatly.

What is most valuable?

This tool provides several quite interesting features:

1- Ease of Implementation through Check Point Security Management makes it so that it can be implemented through your blade.

2- The blocking policies are very effective. You can provide denial policies by IPs or even by reputation.

3- Monitoring what happens in the perimeter helps verify the tool's behavior in the face of threats, in addition to improving some current vulnerabilities to debug better as we spend time with the tool.

It is an easy-to-use, very good tool.

What needs improvement?

The tool is modernized by Check Point Harmony anti-spam. They can also modernize the tool through their blade.

At the Check Point support level, it has a great slope since the support language is only in English. Service hours are sometimes difficult to find an agent in Latin American hours, so a support case may take longer to resolve than expected.

The cost is high when putting through Check Point Blade in your Gateway.

The documentation is not so easy to validate. Some new users in the Check Point environment have a hard time. Therefore, the guides should be more intuitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

We currently have a Check Point Gateway administrator through the Check Point Infinity Portal, with the Smart Cloud, where we were able to easily add the anti-spam blade, used for a while with excellent results.

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

We used email security and anti-spam tools from Microsoft. However, we prefer to have all security solutions centralized.

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

The cost depends on the license that is acquired. Sometimes adding the license later is somewhat high.

I recommend getting a good  Check Point vendor so they can help you with the requirements and costs as they are not that easy to find.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have tested and validated other solutions such as those of Microsoft. However, it is more suited to what is sought in these solutions with  Check Point.

What other advice do I have?

The tool is very good. However, they must validate if it meets expectations. There are already more modern tools that do the same at the Check Point level.

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

Easy to configure with a high catch rate and the ability to block domains
Pros and Cons
  • "Since the engine is made to block by IP, domains, and reputation, we minimized the spam threats that end up in the user's mailbox."
  • "There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."

What is our primary use case?

At our company, we have a large number of workers that rely mainly on email to go about their daily duties, there are thousands of emails going back and forth, both inside and outside the organization. 

This solution helps us add an additional layer of protection to our Outlook email servers. Hence, they prevent us from being victims of spam and other email threats such as phishing, malicious attachments, links, etc. Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has one of the highest spam protection rates - and it shows.

How has it helped my organization?

The Anti-Spam has two main approaches to fight against this threat based on either the content or the reputation of the IP. A strong characteristic of the solution is that its technology runs zero-hour and signature-based detection. Email users can report an email as phishing, and the software will run a deep evaluation to neutralize the threat. 

Since we started using it, we've seen a low rate of false positives and effectively neutralized threats that the first email server blades didn't detect in the first instance.

What is most valuable?

Since the engine is made to block by IP, domains, and reputation, we minimized the spam threats that end up in the user's mailbox. 

Security admins can configure everything with flexible settings that adapt to the different access levels we authorize based on company roles. 

The fact that the standards are kept high even though we have a big organization takes away the stress of thinking that some of these blades lower the catch rate when traffic is high, and since there are hundreds of people working with us, traffic is always high.

What needs improvement?

Since we're a big company, we're very diverse; we have employees from different parts of the world who speak numerous languages. We've seen more false positives on those emails containing data in languages other than English. Some suspicious links went through, and some harmless emails that definitely weren't threatening were blocked. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment. We're tried separate gateways management also and had to do a workaround as it would work as expected.
