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.

Ease of deployment and cost-effectiveness boost operational efficiency
I have recommendations for increasing dashboard customization. Currently, we are using custom dashboards, but they are not effectively customizable. If they provide better customization options, it would be easier to understand everything in a single dashboard instead of navigating through dropdown menus to see reports. Additionally, log retention is currently 30 days, but some customers request to extend it to 60 days. Having 60 days of log retention would be helpful for maintaining logs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to install, and the deployment is super easy as well."
"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."
"It does a better job of recognizing spammers."
"It has provided us with an easy way to avoid invasive mail."
"Check Point offers us flexibility when it comes to customizing the configurations that we want to manage, thus allowing us to meet the specific needs of our company."
"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."
"One of the standout features of the product is a significant reduction in false positives, achieved through the implementation of artificial intelligence for detecting malware, phishing attempts, and spam emails."
"Compared to other email solutions such as Cisco, price-wise, we get this solution within 50 to 60% of the average."
 

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 UX/UI could be more friendly."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is not user-friendly the first time you use it."
"They should upgrade support services and make a more user-friendly database."
"The solution could be improved by reducing false positives."
"Mobile solutions should be added to Check Point because business email is also used by users on mobile devices."
"Regarding Checkpoint, I would suggest an easier interface to understand. The interface is a bit overwhelming with information overload for someone new to it."
"The learning curve is steep, and the initial level configuration could be a bit complex."
"Threat intelligence is adequate because they are using Microsoft GTI threat intelligence, but we need to increase protection against phishing and spam mails."
 

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."
"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."
"Reasonably priced solution."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
