We performed a comparison between Check Point SandBlast Network and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."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 zero-day protection is its most valuable feature."
"Threat extraction can help us to remove malicious content from documents by converting them to PDF."
"It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."
"The Check Point SandBlast Network gives us incredibly good features."
"The technology is impressive in general."
"The most efficient and protective characteristics of Check Point's SandBlast solution are that we can see a lot of this protection at the network and mail levels."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"The artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"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."
"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."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"We have found a need for the application to be a bit more elastic, bringing it to SAS services and not IAS."
"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."
"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."
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."
"There have been a couple of things that we've tried where we read through the documentation, and we were really looking for some help in implementing, and technical support wanted me to try it first, then call them if it breaks. It would be nicer if they would hold my hand a bit more. It makes me nervous in production, as I don't have a lab."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
