Flexible with good anti-spam capabilities and effective perimeter security
Pros and Cons
  • "It does a better job of recognizing spammers."
  • "A major area for improvement is within some of the heavily discounted software blade add-ons on top of the current Next Generation Threat Prevention and SandBlast and Next Generation Threat Prevention offerings."

What is our primary use case?

Our company works on the implementation of services in the cloud. We have a large number of employees inside and outside the country. The work from home modality was also added recently, and, for this reason, a solution was needed that would provide security in all aspects of electronic communication. That is why Checkpoint Anti-Spam and Email Security was implemented throughout the company. We wanted to be able to block spam and malware at the connection level and also be able to integrate it with cloud services with Azure and thus be able to have excellent data management.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has improved the perimeter security of our company. Since its implementation it has complemented an essential part of the company's security. One of the features that we liked is the content-based Anti-spam capabilities. It can scan images or attachments. Another feature that it provides us with is the anti-spam block/allow list. This has allowed us to have great control in order to be able to block malicious emails that try to enter our employees' emails.

What is most valuable?

Of all the features that Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security Software Blade brings, all of them fulfill different functions. The one I liked the most is content-based anti-spam. It does a better job of recognizing spammers. It does reconnaissance against advanced forms of spam, including image-based and foreign-language spam, using pattern-based detection. From what I was reading, it has a proprietary algorithm to create unique, fingerprint-like signatures of email messages and practically uses AI.

I also like the flexible configuration set. Both the content-based anti-spam, IP, and text string databases are updated on a schedule, which can be adjusted in the sheet options. It is possible to create and use the custom block list for the anti-spam sheet in the policy that we have configured.

What needs improvement?

For the few years that I have been using Check Point, they have always presented new updates and tries to stay ahead with their tools making them more interactive with the user and not so complicated. They are always at the forefront with new features. It meets and covers all the necessary fields to protect an organization and must be at the forefront as hackers are always one step ahead. They need to continue to make the tool more robust to protect users from new threats.

A major area for improvement is within some of the heavily discounted software blade add-ons on top of the current Next Generation Threat Prevention and SandBlast and Next Generation Threat Prevention offerings.

    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.

    Secure with good customization but needs more AI

    • "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?

Having solutions from large companies that protect our mail system against spam threats is useful.

    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?

    Usage and access to Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade are highly limited to professionals.

    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."
    • "Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has one of the highest spam protection rates - and it shows."
    • "There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."
    • "Some suspicious links went through, and some harmless emails that definitely weren't threatening were blocked."

    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.
