Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Trellix Network Detection and Response and Check Point SandBlast Network are competing solutions in the network detection and response category. Trellix has an edge due to advanced threat detection features and strong incident response capabilities, while Check Point is noted for its versatile threat handling and AI/ML integration.

Features: Trellix NDR offers advanced malware detection, zero-day threat capabilities, MVX for virtualized execution, and sandboxing technologies. Incident response and deep threat insights are notable. Check Point SandBlast excels in handling various file types, combining signature-based and zero-day threat prevention with robust Threat Extraction and Emulation features.

Room for Improvement: Trellix could improve integration, reporting options, and reduce false positives. Enhanced user customization and cloud integration are needed. Check Point SandBlast requires better support responsiveness, pricing clarity, and more intuitive configuration. Both products need adaptation to changing cyber environments and improved interoperability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Trellix NDR is primarily on-premises with high customer service ratings for responsiveness. Check Point SandBlast offers hybrid and cloud options with slightly lower service ratings due to support delays and deployment complexity.

Pricing and ROI: Trellix NDR is seen as expensive but justifies cost with effective breach prevention and substantial ROI. Check Point SandBlast, also with a higher cost for advanced features, is competitively priced, offering favorable ROI through comprehensive threat management.

Featured Reviews

GaneshKhutwad - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides advanced threat prevention and utilizes geographic-based policies to mitigate attacks
Check Point offers three types of support: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The level of support you receive should be based on the criticality of the issue, not solely on your client's support tier. While there are established support levels, I have experienced instances where the support provided was not categorized as Gold, Platinum, or Diamond but rather a standard support level. In such cases, the response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult.

BiswabhanuPanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one
The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.

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."
"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 has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."
"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features."
"The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside."
"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."
"The Check Point SandBlast Network uses caching and static analysis to actually reduce the time it takes to scan and isolate the same file for incoming data compromises."
"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox."
More Check Point SandBlast Network pros
"The installation phase was easy."
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The solution can scale."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response pros
 

Cons

"The guides or best practices of Check Point are difficult to find for the client. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make better implementations."
"We have noticed a slight performance hit when the Threat Emulation and Extraction features were enabled, but the protection trade-off is worth it for us."
"We have found a need for the application to be a bit more elastic, bringing it to SAS services and not IAS."
"There is a limit on the number of files that can be scanned in real-time, which could lead to us being found with our guard down on a high-traffic day."
"I think Check Point provides standard time which ideally most other vendors take to identify behaviors of a file by sending them into a sandbox environment for inspection."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"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 am very leery right now about the stability. We've had three outages in the last month because of Check Point, not because of something that the customer has done, but because of changes on the Check Point side."
More Check Point SandBlast Network cons
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job."
"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
More Trellix Network Detection and Response cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
"The product's cost is high."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."
"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."
"We have seen ROI."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
