It comes in the Check Point Infinity Package so it has helped us a lot.""Threat extraction can help us to remove malicious content from documents by converting them to PDF.""The zero-day protection is its most valuable feature.""The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside."

Cons
"They need to improve the GUI interface.""We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products.""I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time.""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.""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 noticed a slight performance hit when the Threat Emulation and Extraction features were enabled, but the protection trade-off is worth it for us.""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 file types that can be scanned are limited, which means that if the file type is not listed or enabled for the sandbox, they are bypassed and it can lead to a security issue."

More Check Point SandBlast Network Cons →

"For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking.""The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure.""I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release.""It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process.""Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM.""Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have seen ROI."

  • "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 cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
