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.

Useful for collaboration and storage but improvement is needed in API integration
The solution has traditional SSL integration, SAML, and Federation Services. In its latest version, it added SAML integration. However, it needs to work on API integration, especially for dashboards or integration with SAP for log and data system management. It doesn't yet have the kind of API that Google and Microsoft provide for synchronizing users with Active Directory. I think IceWarp needs to improve in a few areas. They have two types of admin consoles - a web-based one and a remote one. I'd like to see these combined into a single web-based admin console. The log reading and information system also needs improvement. The current way of showing incoming and outgoing logs isn't very clear. For new users, it's hard to understand these logs, especially compared to Office 365 and other systems with easier-to-read logs. They should also add an export option to get all logs with a single click whenever we need them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security software is a modern-day solution for security management and data scrutiny."
"Overall, the product rating is nine out of ten."
"It is certainly very beneficial for a small business and works best in combination with other Check Point blades, such as the Data Protection Blade that protects against data loss via email."
"Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution."
"I like the flexible configuration set, e.g. both the content-based and the IP reputation anti-spam are supported, but you may choose to disable the mechanism you don't like."
"This solution is very efficient."
"It has provided us with an easy way to avoid invasive mail."
"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."
"With all of the features that are available for the users included with the license, it is reasonably priced."
"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources at a low cost."
"The solution is easy to manage and includes features such as smart documents and the archiving of user data."
"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people."
"The solution's voice services work well for our company."
"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."
"If you have a small to medium business and you require a professional collaboration server that focuses on the main services of emails and calendar scheduling, I recommend IceWarp."
 

Cons

"The cost is high when putting through Check Point Blade in your Gateway."
"The customer support for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade rates at 6 out of 10. Sometimes the Check Point support has issues as they do not respond immediately when I log a ticket and sometimes they lag."
"Some suspicious links went through, and some harmless emails that definitely weren't threatening were blocked."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade can be improved by decreasing the complex initial setup and tweaking, especially when trying to balance security and user convenience."
"In terms of anti-spam and email, the pattern that they use to filter the emails could be improved."
"I had the need for specialized support in Spanish. However, there are only specialists in the English-speaking language, and that has, in some cases, limited support."
"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."
"The high-end protection of email servers from any advanced foreign agents and malware is not 100% there currently."
"The database query for creating new database and querying about activities are too simplistic."
"The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes."
"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."
"Customer service is not always helpful."
"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonably priced solution."
"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
"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 pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"The license is based on the number of users."
"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."
"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."
"The solution is priced well."
"I would rate the pricing and eight out of ten."
"Price-wise, it's a cheaper solution, without a doubt. Price is the reason we are still using the tool."
"Costs far less than other solutions."
"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."
