Pros
"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.""You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox.""Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us.""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.""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 main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside.""It enables my IT system to apply threat detection intelligence and diffuse the endpoint and potential threat attacks and phishing attacks onto the system in the most proactive and secure manner.""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."

Cons
"In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI.""There should be some customized price reductions in the offered packages.""We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products.""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 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.""The Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption.""The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through.""There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
