Cost-effective with real-time and proactive detection
While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments. It is highly advisable to create multiple child logins to operate the running of the software across multiple interfaces in one go without any trouble. Also, it is advised to incorporate the features like round-the-clock, 24/7/365 scanning of the system in the background without disturbing the routine front-end work. This ensures no lapses or threat entry into the system at all.

Useful quarantining features but can be tedious to configure
I use SPAMfighter to monitor and quarantine any abnormal emails and to maintain a whitelist and blacklist SPAMfighter's best features are the specific quarantine and the website where you can release your spam whitelisting and blacklisting. SPAMfighter is a little tedious to configure and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Regular email alerts are beneficial."
"The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent."
"It offers a centralized administration which allows us to be much more productive."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"We like the sandbox feature."
"It has a customer-savvy interface and easily customizable as per client and business requirements."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"It has zero-day attack protection."
"SPAMfighter's best features are the specific quarantine and the website where you can release your spam whitelisting and blacklisting."
 

Cons

"Need more documentation."
"Check Point should improve on their patch management by releasing patches more frequently, such as on a weekly basis, to stay ahead of potential vulnerabilities."
"The solution is expensive."
"More posting of user feedback is requested across all websites and Google so that more traction can be attained. Seeing reviews helps create more confidence with clients and partners."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"The pricing is really extremely high in comparison to the rest of the market."
"Check Point should provide some technical sessions on antivirus solutions."
"SPAMfighter is a little tedious to configure and requires some technical knowledge to understand it."
 

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."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"SPAMfighter has yearly maintenance prices."
