Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade Reviews

Our organization had the need for an efficient way to solve problems surrounding mail, as there are constant places or niches for attackers to strike. We were looking for a solution that could collaborate and integrate in a stealthy and minimally invasive way to protect each of our collaborators and work groups. We had the opportunity to use this solution to assist us with security.

Check Point Anti Spam and Email Security has given some of the most value to each one of the collaborators of our organization. Once it is installed, it is not invasive. It has not unnecessarily blocked or prevented the normal operation of the users. The product is easy to deploy, quick to configure, and gives added value to each of our users, our accounts, and our organization. It ensures we are protected at all times. It is one of the best solutions we can have in our organization.

One of the most outstanding characteristics it has given to our organization and each of our collaborators is that it is not very invasive. The installation has been easy for us and has given us better service than the last generation. It is no longer like the old applications where we had to install user-by-user. The functionality is better. You can place it on your computers, and it is faster when deploying and protecting each one of our accounts. It's helped us avoid a great number of attacks.

What I would like to see in the future are new features that can be implemented in this solution. Many would love to have this solution and be able to manage it from any device, including native applications or applications that can be installed on devices such as Android or iOS. We'd like to gradually adopt portability and teleworking capabilities so users can really be anywhere with administrators able to help and give value to our users inside or outside the organization.

I've used the solution for about two years.

It is one of the most stable solutions. It is worth emphasizing that one of my common uses is to have it established in one of the solutions that are in a cluster, and this gives double stability. 

The solution is quite scalable. It will depend a lot on the capabilities of the SOAP where I have that function enabled. It's fast and simple to scale if I need more computing power.

I had the need for specialized support in Spanish. However, there are only specialists in the English-speaking language, and that has, in some cases, limited support. It's an issue when it is carried out by a third party or a different technician who does not have the capacity or the fluency to speak fluently in English. It is worth emphasizing that the best experts have always given us the most concern in Spanish.

We looked at McAfee and Trend Security.

It's a must-have solution for businesses to secure their email servers in the most comprehensive manner. 

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.

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.

I haven't evaluated any other solution. Some other colleagues already recommended it.

Just go for it.

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.

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.

The primary use case is to protect the organization from any attacks 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's mailbox or an endpoint.

Basic anti-spam filters are not capable of protecting against the latest generation of attacks. Therefore, 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. 

At first, it seemed like a good solution but it wasn't; we have the mail server on site.

After six months, the mail was in fits and starts and the Check Point infrastructure was not responding properly. We realized that we were under a strong spam attack and had to install another antispam product. We were lucky enough to be supported by the Check Point team of specialists, who helped us to identify and solve the problem.

In fact, even with analyzing the logs, it was not something that was evident at first sight

This product integrates well and is easy to manage.

It is certainly very beneficial for a small business and works best in combination with other Check Point blades, such as the Data Protection Blade that protects against data loss via email.

It is useful for having alerts on the e-mail traffic trends. 

This solution is ideal for a small business or if you have a mail server in the cloud and most of the spam is blocked by the provider. It is not good for large email flows. If you require or move to large mail flows, the solution needs to be changed. 

Determining areas for improvement is not a question that can be answered simply. 

We should separate the antispam engine into two parts; the first that breaks down mass spam, and the second for refinement.

It would be good to dedicate a separate core, at least for the first phase, so that it does not take away resources from the system. The ideal approach would be to enrich the product with more functions, however, this would likely also lead to an increase in cost.

It would be useful to have more logs and in aggregate mode, perhaps through a specific report, that can be more easily used for troubleshooting. 

I've used the solution for three months.

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 

It is improving our company's security posture.

We now have better security and fewer false positive and less stress .

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. 

The primary use cases for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade are anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing, content filtering and threat prevention. 

Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade helps my organization by enhancing email security, increasing productivity, improving compliance, reducing IT support costs, and improving threat visibility.

Features like real-time threat detection and prevention, advanced threat intelligence, sandboxing, data loss prevention, and its user-friendly management console make it a very good solution.

The solution could be improved by reducing false positives, optimizing performance, improving the user interface, and integrating with other security solutions.
