Adrian Cambronero - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Engineer at Interglobalmsp
Advanced email filtering has reduced phishing incidents and protects users across our organization
Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade works very well overall, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One is the reporting interface; it is useful but could be more intuitive and provide clearer insights without needing to go through multiple menus. I would also like to see faster or more seamless updates to threat intelligence so the system reacts even more quickly to new phishing techniques. Regarding the reporting feature of Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade, I think the reporting and analytics could be more modern and integrated. The data is there, but a more customizable dashboard or clearer summaries would make it easier to present threats or justify decisions to management. Better visualization would really help. Another improvement I would like to see is deeper integration with the platforms we use, such as more seamless connections with our ticketing system or user directory. Everything works, but a deeper level of automation would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has positively impacted my organization because after deploying, we are not receiving spam mails, users are unable to send malicious files over emails to other colleagues, and it detects files and blocks them in real-time."
"I find the Next-Gen firewall with SandBlast technology the most valuable feature, as it is good for stopping attacks."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has positively impacted my organization by filtering a lot more spam and phishing attempts."
"Overall, the product rating is nine out of ten."
"When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade helps us to gain great email security and is one of the most secure and affordable solutions for mail server security systems, helping with compliance and security management to ensure no data loss or data theft from the email server under any circumstance."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade provides an extra level of security against threats and malware along with 2FA support for multiple platform collaboration and integrations in a single click."
"Using Check Point has helped us to safeguard our environment and help to protect against spam, as well as other types of attacks against our network."
"If spam or some kind of malicious email gets past Mimecast and gets into our email environment, we can go into Agari and we can search for it."
"They are very flexible as far as feature requests go."
"I am impressed with the tool's discovery capabilities which help me find out who is sending the emails on the company's behalf. I also find the ability to detect and generate reports on phishing emails a valuable feature."
"It is really important for large companies to have the brand protection that is provided by Agari."
"Agari offers very good brand protection and they are the core founder of the DMARC standard."
"It comes with a lot of helpful tips for complicated areas."
"Agari gives us visibility of our domain security, helps us manage our SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, prevents spoofing of our domains for phishing and ensures that our marketing and other emails are received correctly and not rejected as spam."
 

Cons

"Mobile solutions should be added to Check Point because business email is also used by users on mobile devices."
"The manageability using this console is complex and it should be a little more user-friendly."
"While we often take advantage of Check Point's cloud part, including Infinity or Harmony, I would like to see products that directly deal with mobile or native environments or other operating systems that we have within the organization."
"I can say that the solution's price level is a problematic area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade could improve by focusing more on promoting and marketing its products. Despite having a great solution, it hasn't captured a larger market share, possibly due to insufficient promotion. It should also incorporate a module to monitor client identities, similar to CrowdStrike. It could also improve by systemizing and simplifying their documentation to make it easier to find needed information."
"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."
"Regarding Checkpoint, I would suggest an easier interface to understand. The interface is a bit overwhelming with information overload for someone new to it."
"There could be an extension of the trial period to 60 days."
"The product's user interface is clunky. We have difficulty in finding what we need. I would also like to see automation in the onboarding processes."
"Some customers in the financial sector do not like the cloud solution because they don't want data to be transferred to a US-based cloud."
"The protocol is quite complicated, which may not be something that could be improved, but it would be better if it was simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
"I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing depends on the number of users; per how many mailboxes you have, but they're pretty negotiable with that, too."
"The tool is not expensive and I would rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The price of the licensing is based on the volume of email."
