Program Lead at DigitalTrack Solutions Pvt Ltd
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.

Has consistently supported security needs for mid-sized teams with affordable deployment
I do not work with Cloud Secure Edge, CSE, or SMA apart from SonicWall NSA. I am not satisfied with phishing protection, as it falls completely under the email domain security. The customizable policy configuration does not help to tailor email security overall because our systems are not integrated with SonicWall Email Security. We are not using reporting and analytics because it requires completely different software. While all required features are available in SonicWall Email Security for SMBs and startups, we lack analytics features. They provide an option to purchase a complete separate product for analytics, but despite initially having purchased the paper license, due to technical limitations or changes, we cannot use that product. Now they require additional fees to access the analytics feature.
