Check Point Anti Spam & Email Security - Solid defense against spam and phishing
Pros and Cons
  • "DLP features can help prevent sensitive information from being leaked via email."
  • "The support language is only English."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

Flexible with good anti-spam capabilities and effective perimeter security
Pros and Cons
  • "It does a better job of recognizing spammers."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

The implementation was simple

What about the implementation team?

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.

What was our ROI?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked into Fortinet and Microsoft.

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    • "When sharing files with my colleagues, it provides a comprehensive report on the security status of the document."
    • "The anti-spam features could be upgraded to be able to detect unnoticeable spam."

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

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    Cost efficient with good security and great accuracy

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    How has it helped my organization?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable.

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support has been good so far.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    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.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is easy and not complicated at all.

    What about the implementation team?

    The solution is implemented through a vendor team only.

    What was our ROI?

    The ROI is great.  We are at almost 70%

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    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.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    What needs improvement?

    Usage and access to Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade are highly limited to professionals.

    Easy to configure with a high catch rate and the ability to block domains
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."
    • "There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    How has it helped my organization?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.
