"Some of the valuable features on the email side are anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links."

"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."
"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."
"The high-end protection of email servers from any advanced foreign agents and malware is not 100% there currently."
