"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."
"It provides a high rate of catching the zero-day advanced threats."
"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."
"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."
"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 extraction can help us to remove malicious content from documents by converting them to PDF."
"SandBlast has opened us up to a lot more opportunities where we can offer this service to clients, that way they don't have to go to a third-party to get this specific solution. It comes in the Check Point Infinity Package so it has helped us a lot."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"EDR and EPM solutions like Carbon Black or CyberArk have integrations with the cloud version of Sandblast, however, there must be on-premise Sandblast options also."
"The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"There should be some customized price reductions in the offered packages."
"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."
"They need to improve the GUI interface."
"I would like if it could emulate bigger files and somehow improve this usability. I don't know if this would be possible. However, if it was able to scan or emulate bigger files, then it would be safer for a company using it."
"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
