Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade Reviews

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade helps us to gain great email security. It is one of the most secure and affordable solutions for mail server security systems and helps with compliance and security management to ensure no data loss or no data theft from the email server under any circumstance. 

It is one of the most high-demand security solutions in the market, with high-level accuracy and a quality assurance system. Their security software is sone of the best in the market, with numerous features for high-end usability.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is the best available security solution for identifying and detecting potential threats and brings the cost of security management expenses down for the organization. 

It is one of the best security software for businesses and organizations and helps in the potential blocking and restriction of any malware attacks or ransomware entry into the system.

The user-identified IP addresses are thoroughly checked for any malware content and ensure no lapse.

The scanning and checking of SMTP and POP3 traffic is not always 100%. The directional scanning left some of the incoming mail unchecked quite often, which carries a higher malware risk. It needs to be improved to bring the efficacy to 100%. Still, it is one of the best solutions in the market for creating a risk-free and virus and malware-free environment where we can do our business activities freely without any tension.

The software is one of the most cost-effective solutions. However, now the competition is coming up with extremely low-end costing models, which is attracting us more than ever. It is high time that they should redefine the cost strategy and models from a new lens so that we can attract and retain more new and existing customers.

More and more customized security features on a low-cost model should be incorporated to enhance the affordability and acceptability of the security solution in the market. 

It is one of the most cost-effective and affordable solutions, yet needs a few customsations and quick security scanning features. It should not take much time and can create a strengthened and secure ecosystem for all of us. 

The scanning rate of potential threat points and endpoints should be made faster and more accurate.

I've used the solution for over one year now.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support has been good so far.

Positive

We have been using Check Point Security solutions for quite some time now. Before that, we used a local customized security solution from one of our affiliated vendors. It was a bit expensive and ranked low on accuracy and efficacy. We switched to Check Point after that.

The initial setup is easy and not complicated at all.

The solution is implemented through a vendor team only.

The ROI is great.  We are at almost 70%

I can strongly recommend Check Point Security solutions due to their high credibility and high-cost efficiency. It is a high-performing security software that is good for blocking and restricting spamming and illegal content points and sources.

The Check Point is easy to install and quite easy to deploy. The pricing is also very low-end and can be brought down further low.

Set-up costs are not complicated at all. The licensing/renewal agreement would not cost too much either, as it is quite handy to use, and due to its simplicity, we have been using it for quite a long time now.

We tried a lot of the free trial services for the local security solutions coupled with a few leading ones like McAfee, Trend security, and ESET Protect.

This is a must-have solution for all sizes of businesses and professionals. It is quite a good security software for all of us in the current scenario of unprecedented malware and ransomware risks.

It is a solution that allows us to quickly install solutions that will protect our mail against viruses or fishing. Of the features that we most want is the ability to protect them against spam. This combination of technology helps us to protect against invasive emails. Being able to prevent these anti-spam attacks from phishing will help us to have protection and control over the identity of users and prevent our users from falling for malicious attempts. 

This solution is designed well and is good for use in small and medium-sized companies as it has an analysis system for spam threats, phishing, and viruses and includes easy-to-install protection. 

This solution allows us to be effective. It is accessible, which has an economic impact on a small company. Having solutions from large companies that protect our mail system against spam threats is useful. It can help us offer a solution that can maintain secure communication without having to worry about a million-dollar investment. 

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. It can be customized in such a way that it allows us to block certain unwanted emails, such as emails from a specific sender, domains, or email addresses, generating an email policy that meets the needs of our institution and being efficient, fast, and secure.

From my perspective, a possible improvement for the solution would be to be able to implement artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to improve the accuracy of detecting spam and malicious emails that are constantly arriving. This would allow us a better adapt to new techniques. New analysis techniques on spam, phishing, or viruses would give us greater security by establishing standards and real-time analysis using AI.

I've used the solution for one year.

The anti-spam feature has protected the company email infrastructure from viruses that may destroy useful data. 

It has enabled my department to come up with useful policies that prevent our database from ransomware attacks. 

It detects unsafe emails in advance with instant blocking to protect users. 

The product saves us time in terms of email categorization with a reliable classification system. 

When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document. 

This product has advanced our email-sharing channels with modern security tools that filter out any unsafe data.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has created a safe working environment that cannot be easily compromised. 

Sending and receiving emails from secure networks gives teams confidence in the execution of daily duties. 

Data that was being destroyed by viruses is now safe, and we can exchange ideas with our colleagues without any fear. 

It has given an opportunity to each sector to control and monitor their own data with strict set company regulations. It has provided comprehensive security to all the applications and enhanced increased production.

It is easy to integrate with other applications and operate. New users find it flexible to work with this tool and interact with all the features. 

The customer support staff provides 24/7 live support to ensure the system keeps on running and helps customers who request any help. 

Maintenance costs are efficient, and the setup process takes a few minutes. 

The spam filtering feature saves and stops the spread of viruses. 

The user dashboards provide results based on real-time insights that enable teams to plan and set achievable objectives.

The anti-spam features could be upgraded to be able to detect unnoticeable spam. 

When it comes to languages, they can be updated to cater to all communities. 

The software blade is working well, and most of the time we achieve our goals. Blocking suspicious emails has been a great achievement due to increased online threats. Before the deployment of this product, we had lost useful information to scammers. However, we are now sorted. 

The set features are working well. That said, they have to be updated on time to cater to new security demands that arise daily.

I've used the solution for one year and five months.

I have not experienced downtime.

It is easy to set up and learn how it works.

The 24/7 customer support services have been good.

Positive

I have not used different products and have no plans of leaving this platform.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation took place through the vendor team, and their level of professionalism impressed everybody.

The return on investment has been positive, and it increases on daily basis based on an excellent performance.

It is easy to set up, and the cost is reliable.

I have not engaged with other vendors. 

Email security infrastructure has improved, and any enterprise can try this solution for better performance.

At our company, we have a large number of workers that rely mainly on email to go about their daily duties, there are thousands of emails going back and forth, both inside and outside the organization. 

This solution helps us add an additional layer of protection to our Outlook email servers. Hence, they prevent us from being victims of spam and other email threats such as phishing, malicious attachments, links, etc. Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has one of the highest spam protection rates - and it shows.

The Anti-Spam has two main approaches to fight against this threat based on either the content or the reputation of the IP. A strong characteristic of the solution is that its technology runs zero-hour and signature-based detection. Email users can report an email as phishing, and the software will run a deep evaluation to neutralize the threat. 

Since we started using it, we've seen a low rate of false positives and effectively neutralized threats that the first email server blades didn't detect in the first instance.

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. 

Security admins can configure everything with flexible settings that adapt to the different access levels we authorize based on company roles. 

The fact that the standards are kept high even though we have a big organization takes away the stress of thinking that some of these blades lower the catch rate when traffic is high, and since there are hundreds of people working with us, traffic is always high.

Since we're a big company, we're very diverse; we have employees from different parts of the world who speak numerous languages. We've seen more false positives on those emails containing data in languages other than English. Some suspicious links went through, and some harmless emails that definitely weren't threatening were blocked. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment. We're tried separate gateways management also and had to do a workaround as it would work as expected.

The primary use case is to protect the organization from any attack generated via email. As most of the attacks in recent days are via email, the organization has to be equipped and ready to mitigate this type of attack at the perimeter level, before it has been delivered to the user mailbox or endpoint.

Basic anti-spam filters are not capable of protecting against the latest generation of attacks. So, for protecting the organization against this sophisticated or targeted attack, we concluded that the next generation of Email Security solutions is a must. Ultimately, it should be able to protect against any attack that is sent via email.

This product prevents sophisticated attacks, such as:

• Phishing Email attacks such as impersonation, spear-phishing, and business email compromise
• Account Takeover protection, where the primary aim of an attacker is to steal user credentials
• Protection against malicious files, malicious attachments, and malware. The primary aim of this kind of email is to infect user machines and steal data, or injecting malicious code on a machine so that they can move laterally and infect other machines within the organization, or perform a ransomware attack 
  
• Protection against data leakage that can be caused by an aforementioned attack, which can result in financial loss or reputation damage to the organization 
  

This solution is hosted in an inline mode for the protection of inbound, outbound, and internal email communication. It does not require any change in MX entry on the DNS Server for routing traffic to the service provider for Email Security.

The complete solution can be hosted on-premises for environments where the organization has an on-premises email solution, and it will remain invisible to the attacker.

This solution can be integrated with SandBlast Technology provided by Check Point and its most effective solution is breach prevention. 

It can be extended to the cloud as well, for protecting cloud-hosted email.

The solution can be monitored on a single dashboard with actionable insights and reporting.

Our solution required multiple appliances, as a single appliance only supports up to 5,000 files. This means that depending upon the number of files that need to be processed, the number of appliances needs to be increased. Essentially, the number of appliances needs to be sized accordingly for complete protection. The increase in the number of appliances makes it difficult to manage in terms of physical connectivity and configuration.

The product performs only basic anti-spam capabilities, compared to CloudGuard SaaS, which provides more robust anti-spamming functionality than the on-premises solution. 

YARA rules can be added only using the CLI, rather than through the GUI, which makes it difficult for the administrator.

We are not using the Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade at this moment. 

This solution is stable.

This product is easily scalable and a number of devices can be added whenever it is required.

The support and our experience with the OEM were excellent.

Previously, we were using the email gateway along with an additional license to protect against email attacks on the same gateway.

Setting up the product is complex. In the case of a single appliance, it is simple. However, it becomes complex with several appliances.

The solution was implemented with our in-house team along with the OEM.

The setup is complex, as it is dependent on the number of files that need to be processed via the email security appliance.

The cost is competitive with other security products on the market. 

We evaluated similar solutions by Cisco & Trend Micro.

This solution should be designed to support all functionality, including use as an email gateway in case the functionality is required, as well as having a strong anti-spam module 

Our company works on the implementation of services in the cloud. We have a large number of employees inside and outside the country. The work from home modality was also added recently, and, for this reason, a solution was needed that would provide security in all aspects of electronic communication. That is why Checkpoint Anti-Spam and Email Security was implemented throughout the company. We wanted to be able to block spam and malware at the connection level and also be able to integrate it with cloud services with Azure and thus be able to have excellent data management.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has improved the perimeter security of our company. Since its implementation it has complemented an essential part of the company's security. One of the features that we liked is the content-based Anti-spam capabilities. It can scan images or attachments. Another feature that it provides us with is the anti-spam block/allow list. This has allowed us to have great control in order to be able to block malicious emails that try to enter our employees' emails.

Of all the features that Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security Software Blade brings, all of them fulfill different functions. The one I liked the most is content-based anti-spam. It does a better job of recognizing spammers. It does reconnaissance against advanced forms of spam, including image-based and foreign-language spam, using pattern-based detection. From what I was reading, it has a proprietary algorithm to create unique, fingerprint-like signatures of email messages and practically uses AI.

I also like the flexible configuration set. Both the content-based anti-spam, IP, and text string databases are updated on a schedule, which can be adjusted in the sheet options. It is possible to create and use the custom block list for the anti-spam sheet in the policy that we have configured.

For the few years that I have been using Check Point, they have always presented new updates and tries to stay ahead with their tools making them more interactive with the user and not so complicated. They are always at the forefront with new features. It meets and covers all the necessary fields to protect an organization and must be at the forefront as hackers are always one step ahead. They need to continue to make the tool more robust to protect users from new threats.

A major area for improvement is within some of the heavily discounted software blade add-ons on top of the current Next Generation Threat Prevention and SandBlast and Next Generation Threat Prevention offerings.

The tool was implemented in 2020. Currently, I have been working with this solution for Three years.

During the two years of implementation in the organization, it has not presented any problem. Its stability is very good.

Its scalability is excellent. It is a super scalable product in security and very robust.

Regarding customer service, we have had both good and bad experiences I give them an eight on the support part, however, sometimes we are left wanting.

Positive

We only had Office 365 and wanted to make the security more robust.

The implementation was simple

The implementation was done in conjunction with internal collaborators and with support from Check Point. They were very helpful and very good at their job.

My return is to have made a single investment and to be able, with that investment, to maintain the privacy and security of the organization.

It is a very affordable tool to implement in an organization.

We looked into Fortinet and Microsoft.

You can use this solution without fear as it gives you security and confidence.

The advanced anti-spam protection platform prevents time waste and reduces the transfer of spam messages to the email inboxes of colleagues. 

It blocks phishing attacks across the entire collaboration chain among teams. 

The Email IPS protection against Denial of Service (DoS) prevents cyber attacks that can harm data. 

The antivirus protection system checks emails and attached files before sharing to enhance safety. 

It checks for malicious IP addresses that can be used to launch attacks and vulnerabilities in connection levels. 

It has enhanced comprehensive security in email sharing and collaboration among teams. 

It refreshes the dynamic database regularly to ensure IP addresses that no longer misbehave are not blocked by mistake. 

The anti-spam and email security system protects against advanced forms of spam with misleading patterns. It blocks offenders and easily allows trusted users to use the safeguarded network infrastructure. Employees are free to share information with their colleagues without fear of ransomware attacks.

It blocks spam and malware attacks across a secure email connection. It scrutinizes emails to ascertain whether the sender and the receiver are authenticated to share a given information. 

The content-based anti-spam tools ensure the attached files and any information being shared among teams are safe and free from attacks. 

It prevents advanced forms of spam, including image-based and foreign language spam, using pattern-based detection. The block and allow list for anti-spam denies email offenders and only allows approved trusted users. This enhances our data safety.

The set security tools can be easily incorporated with existing servers to save time and cost of developing reliable security infrastructure. I have experienced efficient performance from this product with powerful anti-spam and email IPS protection tools. 

The technical team could improve services by ensuring when there are changes they inform enterprise users of effective upgrades. 

Poor network infrastructure and insufficient filters leak information that is not secure sometimes. 

The product features have been doing good, and I like the customer support responses when contacted.

I've been using the solution for 12 months.

I am impressed by the secure network infrastructure for sharing information.

The performance has been in full gear since we deployed it.

The customer support team works closely with organization members to aid effective performance.

Positive

I have not worked with products from other vendors.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation took place through the vendor for less cost and increased time-saving.

There is a continuous increase in ROI due to excellent performance.

The cost has been good with efficient licensing terms.

I have not worked with products from other vendors.

It blocks zero-day threat attacks and attempts in the most efficient manner and brings efficiency to the system.

I strongly suggest they incorporate and offer more customized features that will enhance efficiency to improve outcomes. Also, they need to offer customizable features for email protection from multiple ends. 

Recognizing spammers and spam email sourcing is extremely lagging these days, and the performance could be improved to provide better efficiency. 

It is extremely easy to understand, even for non-technical users. It is easy to manage and integrate well with all kinds of portals and dashboards so that a secure environment can always be attained.
