Has significantly reduced phishing threats through proactive monitoring and centralized visibility
A specific example of how Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade helps protect my organization from spam or phishing is when I log in to my management console of the Check Point tool and I open the email security blade logs, and I see all the overnight status of spam, what was the spam message volume, how many phishing attempts were made, and what kind of attachments were quarantined. This gives a real-time threat intelligence and advanced detection of phishing attacks. Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade offers a very easy-to-use dashboard and a proactive approach. Whatever trends are observed will directly inform us. The dashboard is very easy to understand. It gives a spam detection summary where it provides a visual representation through pie or bar graphs for spam suspected or clean mails. I also really appreciate the quarantine summary as it is very descriptive and gives a quick insight into the user complaints, compliance, and backlog. The system health, such as the CPU and update types of status of signatures, is also very well represented, so it does not cause any overload. Integration with SIEM or SOC dashboards, such as QRadar which we use in the organization, is very easy via Syslog exports. This gives centralized visibility, so you do not need to check with all the other devices as one device will give you a centralized overview. Smart events are also very configurable and will give us notifications or mitigation actions, which is beneficial.

Decreased our security alerts without impacting employees' work
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. It provides a single console for security policy and management. That is somewhat important because we used to have other products where you would have to log in to individual appliances, devices, or clusters. Having one spot to log in to or one area to go to for doing different tasks and viewing data sources, just makes it easier from a user perspective. Also, the fact that it's invisible to our end-users and doesn't affect their work is very important. Most companies don't want to have added friction or impact on their users. In addition, the combination of user-friendliness for admins, and security for the organization, works well. As a cloud-hosted solution, it provides ease of use.
