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."
"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."
"It seems like it works all the time. We have never had an issue. We have never had something go undetected, anything major. All in all, it works pretty well."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."
"It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."
"Check Point SandBlast Network Solution provides signature-based as well as zero-day threat protection. Also sandboxing can be performed on an on-premise device, cloud as well as the combination of both. Threat emulation is done on multiple OS & verdict is provided."
"Very few false positives are detected, which gives the confidence to raise flags when needed, ensuring the IT department is aware of threats and acting fast."
"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."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI."
"I am very leery right now about the stability. We've had three outages in the last month because of Check Point, not because of something that the customer has done, but because of changes on the Check Point side."
"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."
"I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time."
"Using it in the beginning was difficult because I had never used anything similar. In terms of navigating the UI, it was all not too bad, but there is definitely a learning curve."
"They need to improve the GUI interface."
"The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant."
"The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
