Has reduced phishing threats and provided better visibility through detailed dashboards and logging
One thing I noticed with Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is that without configuring the MTA or transfer agent, it cannot work fully. The MTA feature has significant resource needs, and without it, we cannot use the full-fledged features of Anti-Spam and Email Security Blades. Its dependency on MTA is substantial. I chose 8 out of 10 for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade because of the MTA dependency feature. Disabling MTA is problematic as it is very important for deploying this solution. If you want full content scanning or threat extraction and emulation, you have to enable MTA to work effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade helps my organization by enhancing email security."
"It is easy to install, and the deployment is super easy as well."
"The tool helps us see the behavior inside our environment, which is important to us. The solution's capacity integration features are great."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has positively impacted my organization by filtering a lot more spam and phishing attempts."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has impacted our organization positively by preventing threats early and provides visibility and reporting features, offering logs and dashboards so admins can see spam volumes, blocked items, and trends, including outbreaks."
"The solution can be monitored on a single dashboard with actionable insights and reporting."
"When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
 

Cons

"It is expensive but worth it."
"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."
"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."
"The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades."
"The UX/UI could be more friendly."
"There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."
"The interface is a bit overwhelming with information overload for someone new to it."
"If you face any configuration problems, Check Point is the only solution."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
