Helps detect and prevent attacks and offer helpful sandbox analysis
Check Point SandBlast Network was acquired when the company needed to improve its security posture in different characteristics. The company had a deficiency in monitoring the corporate network. This tool analyzes the traffic network in a way that is really efficient, and of course, the best thing…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"When our workers are downloading software, SandBlast Cloud is useful to emulate the downloads that the workers are doing. Then, there are no threats coming into the company."
"We didn't really have any IPS before. So, Check Point has improved our security posture. People get used to doing things certain ways, which might not be the best or most secure way, and they can't do that now, which just requires more education of the user base. With the endpoint client, we've started to use Check Point for remote access."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it keeps the network secure against zero-day threats."
"The use of threat cloud protection with its artificial intelligence can automate possible threats."
"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox."
"It provides a high rate of catching the zero-day advanced threats."
"Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The product is very easy to install."
 

Cons

"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."
"The cost is a little bit high-end, and you need to get precise performance metrics in order to get the correct size. Improvements are required in both areas of the tool."
"EDR and EPM solutions like Carbon Black or CyberArk have integrations with the cloud version of Sandblast, however, there must be on-premise Sandblast options also."
"The file types that can be scanned are limited, which means that if the file type is not listed or enabled for the sandbox, they are bypassed and it can lead to a security issue."
"The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant."
"The response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The solution could be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen ROI."
"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 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."
"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
"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 cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
"The product's cost is high."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"Overall, the price is good."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
