We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads.""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.""SandBlast has opened us up to a lot more opportunities where we can offer this service to clients, that way they don't have to go to a third-party to get this specific solution. It comes in the Check Point Infinity Package so it has helped us a lot.""The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside.""The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files.""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 Check Point SandBlast Network gives us incredibly good features."

More Check Point SandBlast Network Pros →

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides.""The scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file.""It is an easily scalable solution.""The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward.""The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises.""The dynamic behavior analysis is excellent. We have many attacks caught by the FortiSandbox as zero-day attacks. Additionally, the administration is simple and can be customized to fit your companies needs.""Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk.""Performance is a valuable feature."

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.""SandBlast takes longer than FortiSandbox to complete a scan.""Check Point SandBlast Network can improve the integration with third-party vendors, such as EDR or CRM products. For example, IBM Curator.""I think Check Point provides standard time which ideally most other vendors take to identify behaviors of a file by sending them into a sandbox environment for inspection.""The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant.""Today, we have it as part of a solution or a package. However, we'd like there to be a way where we can have the solution's features available to us in a cheaper way in the future.""Most of the time stability is okay, but sometimes, we're not able to contact the cloud. It won't last for long. The product could be faster.""I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."

More Check Point SandBlast Network Cons →

"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine.""The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier.""When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive.""At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences.""Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor.""Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."

  • "The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
  • "The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
