Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade Reviews

Check Point makes up part of our security solution in all of our locations across India. We are in the eCommerce industry and one of the things that we do is set up tickets for moviegoers.

We have categorized our requirements as per the online penetration of our booking agents. As an example, in one of our locations, we have a penetration of filling online tickets that is reaching up to 85%. It is important that this system is safeguarded to ensure that we are not exploited on the ticketing platform using the OCR codes that we are generating and sending to our customers. As the tickets are emailed to the patrons in advance of the show, it is important that this email is secure. This is one of our use cases.

Using Check Point has helped us to safeguard our environment and help to protect against spam, as well as other types of attacks against our network. We are a PCI DSS compliant company in India and we need to ensure that our patrons' data is protected. At the same time, we want the convenience of being able to send tickets to them. Check Point has allowed us to do that.

The features that I like the best are message encryption and message validation.

The manageability using this console is complex and it should be a little more user-friendly. If you don't have a good understanding of putting the policies in place then sometimes it is tough to manage from the console. A more intuitive GUI would make it easier to manage.

The user should be able to perform a real-time search of the objects and see the messages. As it is now, when we create an object, sometimes you find out at a later stage that the object already exists. If I could simply type an object into the search bar and find out whether it exists by seeing it in a dropdown then it would save me time.

We have been using the Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Blade for two years.

This solution has been stable and is working very well in our environment.

This is a scalable solution. We have 170 locations across India and all of them have Check Point installed. We had considered scalability from the beginning of this project, with a three to five-year plan. 

We have been in direct contact with technical support and our experience has been that they are both nice and helpful. After the deployment was completed, the partner who assisted us had moved out and completed a knowledge transfer to the entire team. There was a subsequent issue that had to do with the VPN, and the Check Point technical support was very helpful in resolving it.

We have used other security products by vendors such as Juniper and Palo Alto, but not for the same use cases.

We began our implementation about two and a half years ago and as part of the process, we divided India into different regions. In total, it took us about 120 days to fully deploy across all of our locations.

We have in-house staff who are very well versed in the Check Point technology, however, given the volume of deployment, we contracted a partner that was recommended by the vendor.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is that it is a robust and reliable platform. With respect to messaging and firewall products, all of them are pretty good but it depends on your scenario. I would say that Check Point has the best security, the messaging protocols are pretty good, and the reliability is higher than competing products by Palo Alto and Juniper. When adopting Check Point, your skill is one of the key points to consider.

This is a good solution but there are certain complexities that need to be made more user-friendly. It should be more manageable from an IT perspective. This includes things such as setting up specific policies. A more intuitive GUI, for example, would help.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is one of the valuable features that we have available in quantum equipment. It gave us that layer of protection and event solutions to safeguard the security of events and activities. In our network, it's analyzing everything that enters our network or leaves it.

Among the attacks that we had to avoid events by SMTP, POP, or DDoS, and additionally, protect ourselves from image or language attacks. We've been able to block regions by IP addresses or locations.

We currently have several regions blocked by blacklisted IP addresses or insecure domain senders, thus raising the level of protection that the institution has. We use this feature frequently due to our mail service, which is a hybrid service.

This solution helped us lock down and have our infrastructure easier to manage.

We've solved protection against buffer overflow that has caused our server to freeze or be slower when receiving or sending emails.

The anti-spam feature helps to verify the reputation of the databases in a reputational way. It manages to compare each request with a complete base of IP addresses. This layer eliminates around 70 percent of the attacks that enter through and are part of the most common attacks that our less expert users receive. We are now capable of differentiating this type of incident. This database is constantly updated to protect the equipment and thus validate if these addresses.

I would like this solution to be more integrated into other applications that Check Point has so that it could be managed quickly and safely from the Infinity Portal, thus being even more cloud-based in its management. Among the things that I would also like would be an application for cell phones where you can manage this type of event, if required, be it Android or iOS. It would thus be more disruptive by taking advantage of market demands and ensuring protection.

I've used the solution for two years.

The solution is easy to install and enable.

Its cost is quite high and its package is sold as an additional license.

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.

We have been using Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade for two years now.

The solution is utilized around the clock as a primary parameter for filtering incoming and outgoing emails.

I would rate the initial setup process a nine out of ten.

We took help from a third-party partner to assist in deploying the solution. Around two executives were required to work on it.

We considered various products in the market but ultimately chose Check Point due to its reputation and ease of implementation.

The solution leverages artificial intelligence to learn email flow patterns, reduce false positives, and identify trustworthy emails based on correspondence frequency and block lists.

While the initial implementation costs increased, we consider it a valuable investment as it has enhanced productivity and provided better security for our organization.

I would recommend this solution, especially for medium to large companies seeking a stable and user-friendly email security management system.

I rate it a nine out of ten. 

In our company, we use Office 365 to run the office, including email and some security tools from Microsoft. The tools did not satisfy us, so we decided to use Check Point technology. It gave us protection against spam, ransomware, and phishing, among other modern threats that travel through the email of collaborators.

In the end, the implementation through the Check Point blade is simple and easy to manage. 

We are really pleased with this tool that facilitated the management of these behaviors and problems that it generated for end users and the company itself.

Thanks to this tool acquired through The Check Point blade, we can have a layer of protection with the manufacturer for our email products. We can regulate and eliminate in a great way the threats that can enter through email.

The company, in turn, has managed to considerably lower the spam received, which also saturated the company's mailboxes a lot. It is a great tool that is easy to implement and with great considerations to be able to put it in the company.

Email filtering. The software can filter incoming emails to identify and block spam and other unwanted messages.

Malware detection. The software can detect and block malware attachments and links in emails. This is important for preventing malware infections and other security threats.

DLP features can help prevent sensitive information from being leaked via email. This may involve scanning emails for specific types of content or attachments and then either blocking or encrypting those emails.

Support is really an area that needs to be improved, as they currently take a very long time to resolve cases, which is not acceptable.

The support language is only English. They could expand other languages to expand more easily and help the client in a better way.

Regarding cost management, they are only accessible through a partner. This makes it more difficult to find pricing and do budgeting.

In terms of the ease of documentation, sometimes it is a bit difficult to find the correct information about the product.                   

We have used this solution for email protection in our company for quite some time with excellent results.

Previously, Microsoft technology was used, however, we did not like it.

We moved to Check Point.

Regarding its license issues and costs, it seems reasonable to me.

We always do field and theoretical evaluations to verify the best options for similar products.

We basically use the solution for threat detection, spam, email blocking, and security against organized email phishing attacks as well as data security management. Nowadays, this has been a prime concern for organizations and working professionals.

These use cases of Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security software make it one of the prime products and is highly recommended. It is a must-have integrated product.

Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security software is a modern-day solution.

Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security served out to be highly productive for my organization. It's great for management and data security and generates innovation and growth.

Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security software is a modern-day solution for security management and data scrutiny.

In short, I highly recommend the product.

There are highly productive features, including threat detection, spam, email blocking, and security.

It's great against organized email phishing attacks and offers advanced 2FA authentication.

There is third-party integration possible. There are many other customized tools that can act as a booster to some already great services. 

It creates a healthy environment for mass adoption of Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security.

Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security is a highly organized tool with many benefits. However, they should upgrade support services and make a more user-friendly database. That would help with higher integration and adoption.

Check Point Anti-Spam & Email Security software as a platform will catch the eyes of large organizations and MNCs as security concerns have risen significantly in recent years.

I have been integrating with this software since last year.

I haven't dealt with any other software.

The pricing is in the mid to high range. It's affordable and the setup is smooth.

Just go for it.

We are using 5400, 6700 and 6900 versions of the hardware in our company. We have approximately 1,600 users.

I find the Next-Gen firewall with SandBlast technology the most valuable feature. It is good for stopping attacks.

In terms of anti-spam and email, the pattern that they use to filter the emails could be improved. There are too many normal emails being considered spam. There should be an option to learn the different patterns specific to the organization where it is being deployed.

I have been working with this product for more than three years.

The product is stable.

The product is scalable.

Technical support by Check Point is good.

We previously used a third-party product that was hosted in the cloud.

The initial setup is a bit complex. Training the IT admins how to use, understand, and configure Check Point Anti-Spam and Email is a bit complex.

We have four people in-house for maintenance of the solution.

The pricing of Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security is reasonable.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security is a good product. For a bigger organization, they should consider that the pattern for determining spam does need to be more developed or enhanced.

I would rate this product a 7 out of 10.
