We performed a comparison between Check Point SandBlast Network and Proofpoint Email Protection 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)."The solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."
"The use of threat cloud protection with its artificial intelligence can automate possible threats."
"The Check Point SandBlast Network gives us incredibly good features."
"We didn't really have any IPS before. So, Check Point has improved our security posture. People get used to doing things certain ways, which might not be the best or most secure way, and they can't do that now, which just requires more education of the user base. With the endpoint client, we've started to use Check Point for remote access."
"The zero-day protection is its most valuable feature."
"In terms of the scalability, it's expandable across the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."
"The initial implementation is pretty easy to handle."
"The most valuable feature of Proofpoint Email Protection is the dashboards and their visibility, easy configuration, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the reports are very important and helpful."
"Proofpoint Email Protection's initial installation is straightforward. It took us less than a day to complete the implementation."
"The solution blocks malicious emails containing viruses and malware and reduces them out of spam."
"The solution has very strong detection for most of the phishing and malicious emails received from the outside."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution offers very good flexibility. You can blacklist or whitelist with ease."
"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 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."
"I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management."
"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."
"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by allowing more customization of the reports, such as exceptions and black-and-white lists."
"Proofpoint Email Protection's interface is confusing and could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution should add post-sales training."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"Integration and filtering out who you want and don't want to have integrated ID could be improved."
