Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade Reviews

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.

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 

We use the solution in our company with respect to the firewall and email security solutions.

Anti-spam and malware phishing are valuable features of the solution.

In Email Security Software Blade, if you talk about anti-spam, it is very useful for those customers who are using Microsoft 365's Office Suite or Exchange mail servers. Every customer suggests that you have to use an anti-spam solution or anti-phishing solution. It is used as an email security solution.

I don't have any kind of point to improve because that's working well from my understanding and from my experience.

I can say that the solution's price level is a problematic area that needs to be considered for improvement. Prices could be cheaper.

I have been using Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade for four to five years.

It's a stable product.

It's a scalable product.

There are multiple customers using the solution.

I haven't connected the tech support because the deployment team connected with the Check Point team for support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The deployment hardly takes half an hour.

For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive.

My suggestion to those planning to use it, I would say that without an anti-spam solution, you are not safe.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is undoubtedly one of the highly stable and scalable platforms for email management - at a minimal cost.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is a highly recommended tool for professionals.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade provides multiple support and services. Some of the most valuable ones are the complete solution against phishing emails and the ability to block emails.

It allows for restoration along with email synchronization and viewing, sending/receiving, and multi-file transfer with a single click.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade provides an extra level of security against threats and malware along with 2FA support for multiple platform collaboration and integrations in a single click.

Usage and access to Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade are highly limited to professionals. However, there has been a bit more dependency in recent months, and one thing which annoys me with the Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is its customer support portal which still lags in service even after so many developments.

Dealing with unnecessary ads running in the background is an area that Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade need to work on for mass adoption.

I have been integrating with Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade for less than one year. However, since the day I joined this platform it has totally changed my way of work and email management.

We previously used Protonmail. It was not as compatible according to my usability.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is budget-friendly and scalable.

I did not previously use a different solution.

I'd advise potential new users to go for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade, as it's highly dependable and secure.

Our customers used this product for internet security, anti-virus, and remote browsing. We are system integrators and worked with Check Point as managed service providers up until a few months ago. I'm a senior security specialist.

This solution is very efficient. 

If you face any configuration problems, you have to involve the Check Point team so they can verify their software.

Until recently, we were integrators of this solution for five years. 

The stability is generally good if there are no power-related issues. 

The scalability is very good. 

The customer support is excellent - if you're facing any problems, you can write to the Check Point team and you'll receive an immediate reply. 

The setup of this solution is complex because it has the concept of software blade instead of appliance which is something that only CheckPoint can identify. Deployment generally takes about a week and requires an engineer.   

Palo Alto is very expensive compared to other solutions. 

If you're a software company, I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10. 

It has helped us to avoid large amounts of spam, which consumed space in our online exchange. 

With this, we also avoid expenses and also protect our users.

Protection policies were easy to implement to protect us from existing threats.

This tool is very good. It can be included through the anti-spam blade in our Check Point Gateway and is an easy implementation. The product helped us avoid threats from non-permitted domains and control domains with IPs reported as fraudulent or as threats.       

Check Point solutions are very good. It's a fairly old solution. However, that has been updated over time to become one of the best manufacturers of security solutions.

Check Point Anti Spam is a very interesting and good tool. It has helped us a lot against modern threats, spam, and domains that are marked as threats. In this way, we have improved business security,

The solution has also been modernized in Harmony. However, this solution is included in our Gateway and makes it easier to use.

It's improved against email attacks greatly.

This tool provides several quite interesting features:

1- Ease of Implementation through Check Point Security Management makes it so that it can be implemented through your blade.

2- The blocking policies are very effective. You can provide denial policies by IPs or even by reputation.

3- Monitoring what happens in the perimeter helps verify the tool's behavior in the face of threats, in addition to improving some current vulnerabilities to debug better as we spend time with the tool.

It is an easy-to-use, very good tool.

The tool is modernized by Check Point Harmony anti-spam. They can also modernize the tool through their blade.

At the Check Point support level, it has a great slope since the support language is only in English. Service hours are sometimes difficult to find an agent in Latin American hours, so a support case may take longer to resolve than expected.

The cost is high when putting through Check Point Blade in your Gateway.

The documentation is not so easy to validate. Some new users in the Check Point environment have a hard time. Therefore, the guides should be more intuitive.

We currently have a Check Point Gateway administrator through the Check Point Infinity Portal, with the Smart Cloud, where we were able to easily add the anti-spam blade, used for a while with excellent results.

We used email security and anti-spam tools from Microsoft. However, we prefer to have all security solutions centralized.

The cost depends on the license that is acquired. Sometimes adding the license later is somewhat high.

I recommend getting a good  Check Point vendor so they can help you with the requirements and costs as they are not that easy to find.

We have tested and validated other solutions such as those of Microsoft. However, it is more suited to what is sought in these solutions with  Check Point.

The tool is very good. However, they must validate if it meets expectations. There are already more modern tools that do the same at the Check Point level.

It is improving our company's security posture.

We now have better security and fewer false positives.

The antivirus is easy to use and fast with a good signature database that is updated in real-time.

Installation time could be improved as it takes too long to install. With the software footprint, it should be taking less than the time it took to install. In the future, I hope to see faster installation and easier installation on our platform as time is equal to money.

I've used the solution for three months.

I did not use a different solution previously.

The initial setup was good.

The product offers a good price.

I did not evaluate a different solution. 

What we use in our company from Check Point is not software. We use a box from Check Point, and in that box, we have Check Point Firewall with all those features, like antivirus, web security, etc. It has all the software, so it's not a single software on our systems.

We use Check Point products, which have been good so far. I think the solution has reached the end-of-life stage because we are facing CPU usage issues. There is a need to change something in the solution to make it stronger.

We are a financial institution that requires a certain level of security, so we use Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade.

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is quite reliable. The solution had stayed reliable up until recently when we applied new updates while having a high memory usage which ultimately affected our network traffic. So far, the solution has been good.

The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better.

I have four years of experience with Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade. I need to confirm the version of the solution I use.

It is a very stable solution.

It's expensive right now if someone plans to scale up. One needs to pay a lot to get bigger scalability. The scalability of the solution can be very difficult.

We currently have 40 users in our company using the solution.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I joined my current company after the setup phase.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The worth of the solution depends on one's needs.

The solution is expensive.

I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

We have to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. The additional cost in excess of the licensing cost is done for the support.

We evaluated solutions like Sophos and Juniper in our company.

I recommend those planning to use the solution to check their number of users, the solutions you need, along with the products or services you specifically need to run some other solutions.

The solution is difficult to scale up.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
