Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox.""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.""It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads.""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.""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 looks out for new cyber ​​threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis.""Check Point has enabled us to detect a lot of threats and prevented a lot of threats from entering our environments. It has kept us safe.""The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."

"I like this setup for a firewall. You can set things up very easily and you can automate items as well. It's a very robust firewall solution for enterprise as well as small businesses.""We get alert messages whenever there is a new threat. We are notified at the firewall level that things are blocked, which keeps us in our comfort zone.""We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks.""The reporting that you get from it is the most valuable feature. You can see it via the appliance itself, and also via the MySonicWall account for the registered device. You are able to select the file if it's malicious, and you can select it in the reporting and see what triggered it, and things like that. I found that to be quite useful.""Provides good protection and security.""The ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) on scanning is the most valuable feature.""The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us.""It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product."

Cons
"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product.""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 Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption.""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.""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.""There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability.""We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products.""The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through."

"Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product.""We would like to get immediate alerts from the alerting system without using third-parties.""I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex.""It does fare well against enterprise products.""Having an on-premise solution as well would be an option for some people, but they'll want to use a cloud solution for their sandboxing. Certain sites would want to keep all the checks done on an on-premise appliance. All the checking, rather than sending that up into a cloud engine.""SonicWall had a recent layoff. This is a concern for us, because now we are missing the local presence from both the engineering and sales side.""SonicWall should promote their roadmap and improve their marketing to customers.""I would say the solution needs a much simpler user interface, but the functionality of the firewall is quite extensive. You need the user interface to be that way. However, if there was a way to make the user interface a little easier, that would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have seen ROI."
  • "We would like to try the Threat Extraction blade, but you need to buy a license. Check Point is expensive. I would like to buy things, but I would need the funding."
  • "Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is quite effective, not excessively high. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing a nine."

  • "The best deal from SonicWall is to buy the HA pair. When you buy the initial one, you receive the second one at a significant discount. If there is an event and something happens to one firewall, then you have the second firewall to roll into. For the price, it's pretty to tough to beat and not a lot of other firewall vendors offer it. You battle for a discount on both. Where with SonicWall, if you buy one, the second one is at half price. It's pretty straightforward."
  • "When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
  • "We get our value for our money."
  • "It's thirty dollars per user and we have 30 users."
