What is Check Point Email Security?

What is Check Point Email Security? Avanan is now Check Point Email Security, a cloud email security platform that pioneered and patented a new approach to prevent sophisticated attacks. The platform uses APIs to block phishing, malware, and data leakage in the line of communications traffic. This means we catch threats missed by Microsoft while adding a transparent layer of security for the entire suite that also protects other collaboration tools like Slack.

10 /10

What differentiates Check Point Email Security from other similar products?

Better integration with cloud based solutions such as O365 and Gsuite.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use and transparent reporting. When properly configured most tasks can be done without leaving the Avanan interface.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It took a few calls to support to get this product fully up and running but in all fairness Google was making changes to their APIs and the issue did not seem to be with the Avanan product itself.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Highly recommend! While it is a bit pricey when compared to the potential cost of breach or incident remediation it is well worth it!

Advanced email security done right!

What differentiates Check Point Email Security from other similar products?

Avanan is almost too good to be true. It literally takes just minutes to install, it learns quickly, and it has effectively reduced my team's time dealing with responding to phishing attempts by near 90%. It was shocking to see truly how many email threats make it through O365's "filtering". Avanan helps me sleep better at night. What more can you ask than that?

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It just works!

What do you dislike most about this product?

My only dislike is, honestly, that I didn't learn about Avanan sooner.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Get a live trial and see how easy it is to implement and how quickly your email headaches just disappear!
