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

"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."
"The technology is impressive in general."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."
"It seems like it works all the time. We have never had an issue. We have never had something go undetected, anything major. All in all, it works pretty well."
"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."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it keeps the network secure against zero-day threats."
"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 tool's stability and performance are good."
"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 platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"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 feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
 

Cons

"We have found a need for the application to be a bit more elastic, bringing it to SAS services and not IAS."
"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."
"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."
"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 would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution could be more secure."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The main issue is its high cost."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"Overall, the price is good."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
"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 licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
