Offers robust threat protection and saves costs significantly
One area for improvement in Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade involves the firmware updates; sometimes, until I update the firmware of the Check Point Quantum Sparks, I cannot access the GUI to see my data usage. If Check Point resolves this issue, everything will be much better.

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."
"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."
"By drastically reducing the volume of spam and unwanted emails, employees can focus more on their work rather than sorting through cluttered inboxes. This leads to improved productivity and efficiency within the organization."
"The tool helps us see the behavior inside our environment, which is important to us. The solution's capacity integration features are great."
"Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution."
"We now have better security and fewer false positives."
"It has provided us with an easy way to avoid invasive mail."
"It does a better job of recognizing spammers."
"The tool lets us monitor everything – from the firewall to endpoint protection, all within a single software."
 

Cons

"It does not provide for standalone configuration on the security gateway. Instead, you need to have a management server/smart console for managing it."
"The solution could be improved by reducing false positives."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has been stable for me; I only faced downtime twice in seven months due to automatic restarts for firmware updates, which is a downside."
"There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."
"The user should be able to perform a real-time search of the objects and see the messages."
"It is expensive but worth it."
"I would like this solution to be more integrated into other applications that Check Point has so that it could be managed quickly and safely from the Infinity Portal."
"They should upgrade support services and make a more user-friendly database."
"We use different vendors for various aspects like cybersecurity policy and DLP implementation. SafeGuard Cyber Security is expensive. It needs to improve the data server as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Reasonably priced solution."
"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."
"I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
