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.

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."
"The sandbox is able to scan files without adding a delay or compromising productivity."
"The most efficient and protective characteristics of Check Point's SandBlast solution are that we can see a lot of this protection at the network and mail levels."
"SandBlast updates the threat signatures frequently."
"The technology is impressive in general."
"It looks out for new cyber ​​threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis."
"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features."
"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."
More Check Point SandBlast Network pros
"Trellix NDR provides an essential defense by automatically responding to network incidents that firewalls may not catch."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."

Cons

"Using it in the beginning was difficult because I had never used anything similar. In terms of navigating the UI, it was all not too bad, but there is definitely a learning curve."
"There should be some customized price reductions in the offered packages."
"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."
"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."
"Check Point SandBlast Network can improve the integration with third-party vendors, such as EDR or CRM products. For example, IBM Curator."
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."
"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."
"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
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"The Trellix solution could be improved by enhancing the Central Management Console for faster visibility, which would help in network detection response."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."
"The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
"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 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."
"We have seen ROI."
"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
"It's an expensive solution."
"When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."
