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.

Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one

The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.

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."

"The solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."

"The Check Point SandBlast Network gives us incredibly good features."

"It saves time with us trying to do the analysis. We use it to try to find out how something got into the network. We use it to stop something before it ever gets in."

"It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."

"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 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."

"The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside."

More Check Point SandBlast Network pros

"Support is very helpful and responsive."

"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."

"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."

"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."

"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."

"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."

"The server appliance is good."

"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."

Cons

"The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through."

"We have found a need for the application to be a bit more elastic, bringing it to SAS services and not IAS."

"I would like if it could emulate bigger files and somehow improve this usability. I don't know if this would be possible. However, if it was able to scan or emulate bigger files, then it would be safer for a company using it."

"Sometimes, Check Point Sandblast requires more resources, which impacts network performance if it has been deployed with limited resources."

"SandBlast takes longer than FortiSandbox to complete a scan."

"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."

"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. Therefore, I would like to see more small things behind the scenes, such as, back-end stability in terms of the management application."

"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."

More Check Point SandBlast Network cons

"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."

"There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management."

"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."

"It is very expensive, the price could be better."

"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."

"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."

"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."

"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"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."

"The product's cost is high."

"We have seen ROI."

"The tool is a bit pricey."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."

"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."

"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."

"It's an expensive solution."

"FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."

"Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
