Assistant General Manager at Sunteck Realty Pvt Ltd
Advanced threat analysis has reduced malware incidents and gives our security team more confidence
The best features that Check Point SandBlast Network offers include threat emulation for zero-day attacks, which I truly appreciate, and deep file analysis across multiple OS environments. The deep file analysis from Check Point SandBlast Network makes my daily workflow much easier, as I am able to analyze everything in terms of a report about my network. Check Point SandBlast Network has positively impacted my organization, as I have seen huge changes with a notable drop in malware incidents, especially with suspicious attachments; it gives the security team confidence that known or zero-day files are checked automatically. Regarding the huge drop in malware incidents, I estimate that it may be around 20%.

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

"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 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."
"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails."
"Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us."
"This product protects us against the most common and sophisticated attacks including phishing email, account takeover, protection against malicious files, malicious attachments, and malware."
"Its greatest value is in the integration of AI analytics and detecting zero-day threats, which in many cases are a great vulnerability."
"The specific security feature that stands out to me in Check Point SandBlast Network is its real-time protection, which extracts, emulates, and blocks traffic if any malicious signatures are present."
"SandBlast protects the network and endpoint from some of the most vicious malware there is - including trojans and ransomware - without compromising productivity."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"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 offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
 

Cons

"Check Point SandBlast Network can be improved by adding more integration capabilities, such as integration with third-party firewalls, third-party EDR solutions, and SIEM."
"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."
"The response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"I am very leery right now about the stability. We've had three outages in the last month because of Check Point, not because of something that the customer has done, but because of changes on the Check Point side."
"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."
"Many Important controls are only available in CLI & very very complicated. All tecli command features should available on GUI so that it will become easy for normal users to monitor & control queue."
"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"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."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Technical support can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."
"The product's cost is high."
"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."
"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 cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
"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."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
