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.
Rejwana Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The sandbox is able to scan files without adding a delay or compromising productivity."
"Check Point SandBlast is best in terms of the extraction function. Customers can get a clean firewall with extraction after I've cleaned and scanned it from Check Point. It's easy for users, too."
"One of its characteristics that we liked the most was its analysis and emulation of activities in the emails since it manages to review them and inspect them if they have an infected attachment."
"SandBlast Network enhances security by providing advanced threat prevention."
"It enables my IT system to apply threat detection intelligence and diffuse the endpoint and potential threat attacks and phishing attacks onto the system in the most proactive and secure manner."
"The technology is impressive in general."
"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."
"It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"Sandboxing gives us a chance to identify malicious behavior, especially for unknown vulnerabilities, although it's rarely needed as a last resort after all other security measures have failed."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
 

Cons

"When you have to scan emails that come with attachments, it takes a long time to examine them, which causes other emails not to be scanned, which can cause some danger to our organization."
"The response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult."
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."
"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."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management."
"SandBlast takes longer than FortiSandbox to complete a scan."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
"The price range is a little high."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"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."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen ROI."
"The product's cost is high."
"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."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
"Overall, the price is good."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
