We performed a comparison between Check Point SandBlast Network and Fortinet FortiClient based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features."
"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."
"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."
"Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us."
"SandBlast updates the threat signatures frequently."
"It looks out for new cyber threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis."
"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 configuration is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"The Fortinet FortiClient is simple to use."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"It’s really easy to use."
"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."
"Check Point SandBlast Network can improve the integration with third-party vendors, such as EDR or CRM products. For example, IBM Curator."
"The guides or best practices of Check Point are difficult to find for the client. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make better implementations."
"There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability."
"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."
"I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"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."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
