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)."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."
"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox."
"The zero-day protection is its most valuable feature."
"The solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."
"It looks out for new cyber threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis."
"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."
"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails. The Threat Emulation engine picks up malware at the exploit phase before it enters the network. It quickly quarantines and runs the files in a virtual sandbox, which imitates a standard operating system, to discover malicious behavior before hackers can apply evasion techniques to bypass the sandbox."
"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."
"It does change the way we troubleshoot and it is relatively easy to use once you learn it. I would recommend it to someone considering it."
"Cisco Stealthwatch provides the solutions analytics and threat detection capabilities that I am looking for. It has also improved the network visibility of our organization."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"SandBlast takes longer than FortiSandbox to complete a scan."
"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."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"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."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"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."
"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."
"The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
