Advanced email filtering has reduced phishing incidents and protects users across our organization
Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade works very well overall, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One is the reporting interface; it is useful but could be more intuitive and provide clearer insights without needing to go through multiple menus. I would also like to see faster or more seamless updates to threat intelligence so the system reacts even more quickly to new phishing techniques. Regarding the reporting feature of Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade, I think the reporting and analytics could be more modern and integrated. The data is there, but a more customizable dashboard or clearer summaries would make it easier to present threats or justify decisions to management. Better visualization would really help. Another improvement I would like to see is deeper integration with the platforms we use, such as more seamless connections with our ticketing system or user directory. Everything works, but a deeper level of automation would be beneficial.

Useful for collaboration and storage but improvement is needed in API integration
The solution has traditional SSL integration, SAML, and Federation Services. In its latest version, it added SAML integration. However, it needs to work on API integration, especially for dashboards or integration with SAP for log and data system management. It doesn't yet have the kind of API that Google and Microsoft provide for synchronizing users with Active Directory. I think IceWarp needs to improve in a few areas. They have two types of admin consoles - a web-based one and a remote one. I'd like to see these combined into a single web-based admin console. The log reading and information system also needs improvement. The current way of showing incoming and outgoing logs isn't very clear. For new users, it's hard to understand these logs, especially compared to Office 365 and other systems with easier-to-read logs. They should also add an export option to get all logs with a single click whenever we need them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"This product integrates well and is easy to manage."
"It has provided us with an easy way to avoid invasive mail."
"Mail sanitisation features are second to none."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has positively impacted my organization because unlike my previous dashboard, it shows pop-ups for bot activity or whenever malware or ransomware attacks occur in any system."
"Advanced Spam Filtering to identify and block unwanted email messages."
"Any organization looking for the best email security solution should consider Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade as one of the leading solutions currently present in the IT domain."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade has impacted our organization positively by preventing threats early and provides visibility and reporting features, offering logs and dashboards so admins can see spam volumes, blocked items, and trends, including outbreaks."
"The solution's voice services work well for our company."
"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."
"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources at a low cost."
"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."
"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."
"As the license of our company is very affordable per year and per user, and considering the almost-zero administration needs, I would say that the cost is returned in the first three months, compared to other solutions."
"It's scalable and stable."
"The groupware module is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The initial configuration is complex, but apart from that, everything works perfectly."
"It does not provide for standalone configuration on the security gateway. Instead, you need to have a management server/smart console for managing it."
"One area where Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade can be improved is the knowledge base configuration."
"Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade customer support is not really good."
"The customer support for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade rates at 6 out of 10. Sometimes the Check Point support has issues as they do not respond immediately when I log a ticket and sometimes they lag."
"If you face any configuration problems, Check Point is the only solution."
"The UX/UI could be more friendly."
"There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to adapting to different languages in one environment."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."
"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."
"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."
"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."
"We attempted to obtain support for deleted documents through the representatives in Mumbai, but they did not have an answer for us."
"The database query for creating new database and querying about activities are too simplistic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"Reasonably priced solution."
"This is a simple system with a very low cost and basic functions, which surely is ideal for a small company."
"For licensing, my company makes yearly payments, which is expensive."
"I rate the pricing as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The cost is competitive with other security products on the market."
"The solution is priced well."
"Costs far less than other solutions."
"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."
"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."
"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."
"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. There were no additional costs."
"There are various licensing plans available based on geographic zone."
"Price-wise, it's a cheaper solution, without a doubt. Price is the reason we are still using the tool."
