Helps detect and prevent attacks and offer helpful sandbox analysis

The configuration could be optimized. The usability could improve. They need to make the guides more specific with images, as it is very complicated to guess where each option is located. The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management. In terms of performance, at some point, I have come to feel that it drops during certain hours. Some additional features that can be added may be the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Light and powerful solution design; useful to have

My impression is that the initial setup process is quite straightforward. If you know what you're using it for, the initial setup can be quite easy and the solution is not that hard to use. When it comes to the steps taken for the implementation, you would select the OS you're using and when the files are sent to the appliance you check, and in the appliance configuration, it must be like the visual governance environment. You must set up the OS you have so that appliance can scan or analyze your file. To maintain this solution, you must always have at least one all-around person tuning this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."

"It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."

"The use of threat cloud protection with its artificial intelligence can automate possible threats."

"Check Point SandBlast Network Solution provides signature-based as well as zero-day threat protection. Also sandboxing can be performed on an on-premise device, cloud as well as the combination of both. Threat emulation is done on multiple OS & verdict is provided."

"Very few false positives are detected, which gives the confidence to raise flags when needed, ensuring the IT department is aware of threats and acting fast."

"Check Point has enabled us to detect a lot of threats and prevented a lot of threats from entering our environments. It has kept us safe."

"It looks out for new cyber threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis."

"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails. The Threat Emulation engine picks up malware at the exploit phase before it enters the network. It quickly quarantines and runs the files in a virtual sandbox, which imitates a standard operating system, to discover malicious behavior before hackers can apply evasion techniques to bypass the sandbox."

More Check Point SandBlast Network pros

"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."

"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."

"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."

"It is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response."

"The solution is easy to manage."

"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox pros

Cons

"The Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption."

"Sometimes, Check Point Sandblast requires more resources, which impacts network performance if it has been deployed with limited resources."

"I would like to see these solutions being easier to manage from mobile applications - from either iOS or Android - including other operating systems that appear in the future."

"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."

"Many Important controls are only available in CLI & very very complicated. All tecli command features should available on GUI so that it will become easy for normal users to monitor & control queue."

"The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant."

"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."

"The guides or best practices of Check Point are difficult to find for the client. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make better implementations."

More Check Point SandBlast Network cons

"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex. You cannot only deploy Fortinet FortiSandbox without deploying the stack of Fortinet solutions. The implementation and integration are challenging tasks with the device and placement in the network. We needed to do POC and offloading testing."

"The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox. The integration of Fortinet FortiSandbox with other Fortinet or FortiGate firewalls is not good. VMs are already installed in the hardware and are working fine, but we tried to approve the custom VM many times but did not succeed."

"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."

"In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks."

"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire."

"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's cost is high."

"The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."

"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."

"The pricing is quite effective, not excessively high. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing a nine."

"We would like to try the Threat Extraction blade, but you need to buy a license. Check Point is expensive. I would like to buy things, but I would need the funding."

"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."

"We have seen ROI."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."

"The price is competitive."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is not expensive."

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."

"The solution is affordable."

"The solution is not expensive at all."

"It is an expensive solution."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
