"We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks.""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.""They have a large database of commonly known things that they can catch automatically, then they have anything which is questionable go to the sandbox and be examined there before going into our network.""It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product.""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.""Provides good protection and security.""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.""The ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) on scanning is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"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.""There should be some customized price reductions in the offered packages.""I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product.""Today, we have it as part of a solution or a package. However, we'd like there to be a way where we can have the solution's features available to us in a cheaper way in the future.""In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI.""There should be some improvement in the solution's stability and scalability.""The guides or best practices of Check Point are difficult to find for the client. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make better implementations.""We have found a need for the application to be a bit more elastic, bringing it to SAS services and not IAS."

More Check Point SandBlast Network Cons →

"I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex.""SonicWall should promote their roadmap and improve their marketing to customers.""We would like to get immediate alerts from the alerting system without using third-parties.""If anything at all, it would be some very minor updates that need to be done, but in terms of changes, nothing comes to mind.""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.""The setup needs improvement. It needs to be made more user-friendly.""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.""It does fare well against enterprise products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have seen ROI."

  • "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 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."
