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.

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 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."
"Overall, the product rating is nine out of ten."
"It's a fairly old solution, however, that has been updated over time to become one of the best manufacturers of security solutions."
"The most valuable features of the solution include advanced threat detection."
"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."
"It is a highly cost-effective solution for all kinds of small, marginal, and medium enterprises."
"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."
"Compared to other email solutions such as Cisco, price-wise, we get this solution within 50 to 60% of the average."
 

Cons

"It is expensive but worth it."
"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 cost is high when putting through Check Point Blade in your Gateway."
"Recognizing spammers and spam email sourcing is extremely lagging these days, and the performance could be improved to provide better efficiency."
"The user should be able to perform a real-time search of the objects and see the messages."
"There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."
"The solution could be improved by reducing false positives."
"The UX/UI could be more friendly."
"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

"Reasonably priced solution."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"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 pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."
"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
