Comprehensive security solution mitigates advanced threats
Improvements for Check Point SandBlast Network can be seen in dashboard usability; the threat emulation logs and analysis reports could be made more intuitive and visually appealing. Enhancing the system for granular tuning to reduce false positives and allowing benign files to bypass checks more simply for non-expert users would be beneficial. Additionally, faster emulation times could be achieved by increasing file scanning speed through hardware productivity enhancements. A specific instance where file scanning speed posed an issue was when the time taken depended on the file size. Scanning can take less than a minute or up to 2 minutes for larger files. Enhancing the file scanning time would be a significant improvement to the system.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is comprehensive threat prevention, whether signature-based or a zero-day secure network."
"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."
"Check Point Sandblast does not miss the first file like other competitors; it has a trick not to miss it."
"The solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."
"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox."
"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, and it's easy for users, too."
"The best feature Check Point SandBlast Network offers is real-time threat extraction capabilities, which sanitizes the files, mails, and other content before reaching the end-users."
"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."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management."
"I would like to see some speed improvements, e.g., how quickly you can get through all the menus. It crashes sometimes because we push so much through it."
"The response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult."
"The Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption."
"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."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
"Technical support can be improved."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 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 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."
"We have seen ROI."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
