This is a smart product that is highly productive in terms of anti-spam and email security in any enterprise.

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.

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 Check Point Anti Spam and Email Security software blade is a one-stop solution for the restriction and blocking of endpoints and other software threats and completely blocks their entry into the system.

It is the most widely used and has numerous functionalities and utilities. It permanently blocks the potential threat source and multiple kinds of spam mail and messages.

It is integrated into our IT system throughout and blocks over 90% of potential spam, malware attacks, and phishing attempts.

It helped in doing a high level of scanning of SMTP and POP3 traffic. It also blocks the email from unknown mail senders and checks the authenticity before every mail sending activity. 

It helped us to achieve process compliance with over 90% effectiveness. Their in-built smart dashboard helps in round-the-clock checking of the progress done by software in restriction of mails and potential spam attacks on our IT system.

The spam detection rate by this software is highly realistic and does not provide any false positive cases, which is very high in the case of other security solutions

It offers a high detection rate of spam and spam mail.

There is complete restriction and entry blockage of potential threats.

It permanently blocks suspicious threats and sources to avoid future attacks.

There's a good trial period provided for complete testing and usage of functionalities by businesses.

There are extremely low false positives which is very rare today in alternative security solutions.

It blocks suspicious IP domains and addresses to restrict any unauthorized entry into our IT system.

It's a cheap alternative to its competitors and offers wide acceptability in the market by many.

There could be an extension of the trial period to 60 days. We felt that utilities and functionalities are numerous and can only be tested fully with the extension of the trial period.

It needs more and more robust features around spam restriction and stoppage of malware entry. It can be facilitated so that 100% efficiency can be achieved. 

There should be more and more inclusion of technical inputs and feedback from customers and business users. These should be regularly received and introduced so that we can stay relevant.

It's been close to six months now. My parent organization has introduced this solution to us.

The McAfee solution was used earlier.

We used their services due to a long term key association of theirs with us.

The Check Point solutions are highly dependable, and their setup costs and time involved are not costly. It is easy to operate and work with the high-grade functionalities and utilities 

Its licensing processing is easy and they have a highly professional team.

We looked into Trend Micro and other Amazon security solutions.

I'd advise others to try this solution. It's a must-have security software for the productive growth of the organization.

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.

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. 

I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten.

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. 

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.

We use the solution for perimeter safety and to protect emails. Initially, we activated Check Point to offer greater protection against spam and attacks so that our users are safe as our organization is attacked often.

We managed to give users a non-invasive tool so that they are protected. The solution protects us as long as we are not executing large workloads. It's simple to administer. It's helped our organization detect problems faster when analyzing events, and it is very efficient - even when implementing new functions or configurations within the established policies. 

It has provided us with an easy way to avoid invasive mail. When users are constantly receiving advertising attacks, it helps to offer verification of the domains from each of those alerts and to have filtering without the need to get directly to the user. It provides users with less noise when receiving emails. They do not get unnecessary emails and spam has largely stopped. 

Today, we have several solutions that give us added value in the catalog of services. While we often take advantage of Check Point's cloud part, including Infinity or Harmony, I would like to see products that directly deal with mobile or native environments or other operating systems that we have within the organization. 

I've used the solution for three years.
