Automated and manual threat analysis provides deep insights for potential threat remediation

The most valuable features of Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer ( /products/bitdefender-sandbox-analyzer-reviews ) include manual and auto-submission. The sandbox analyzer provides a combination of technologies including machine learning-based technologies. Network analytics is performed, and the tool analyzes using threat feeds. Manual and automated submissions allow suspicious files or URLs to be analyzed thoroughly, providing deep insights for further investigation. This information is crucial for making informed decisions on remediating potential threats.

Check Point offers three types of support: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The level of support you receive should be based on the criticality of the issue, not solely on your client's support tier. While there are established support levels, I have experienced instances where the support provided was not categorized as Gold, Platinum, or Diamond but rather a standard support level. In such cases, the response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Sandbox Analyzer is easy to use. It's simple to drill down into the data. In a lot of the competing products, an extremely informed end-user can do battle with the tools provided, but in today's market, end-users have less and less time to try and keep up. The CSAW alerts come out every day, and they're huge. Adobe did a master patch last Thursday and another one a few days later."

"The solution is useful in the event of a gray file or grayware, as there are certain files users may download of which we know little about."

"It is easy to use, and there is a lot of automation. So, users don't need to worry about that."

"Bitdefender has shown fantastic stability over the past eight years with no major incidents reported."

"I like the fact that it works pretty well. It can be a little aggressive at times, but I'd rather have it be a little bit aggressive than not catch what it's supposed to catch. We've been running that platform for about five years, and we've not really had any viruses or malware get through. It's also easy to set up, and it's easy to manage."

"The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."

"The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside."

"It provides a high rate of catching the zero-day advanced threats."

"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 solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."

"Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us."

"The technology is impressive in general."

"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails. The Threat Emulation engine picks up malware at the exploit phase before it enters the network. It quickly quarantines and runs the files in a virtual sandbox, which imitates a standard operating system, to discover malicious behavior before hackers can apply evasion techniques to bypass the sandbox."

Cons

"One area that needs improvement in Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer is the addition of an asset management feature."

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. The whole suite, unlike most anti-virus consoles that just ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do that. The most you could do is get an hourly email, or maybe if there's an outbreak that affects 30% of our machines, it sends me an email. There's no real-time alert to say, "Hey, so-and-so literally 30 seconds ago just had this happen on their machine." Real-time reporting would be a huge improvement. All in all, it's a pretty nice product, generally speaking. They do a pretty good job. They can pretty much go toe to toe with just about anybody. But it's that kind of real-time nature. I've not had occasion to use the EDR portion to actually try and do any kind of custom scripting to drill into things that are going on at the endpoints. But my understanding from reading comments of others is that it's not particularly flexible in that regard to be able to do things like that."

"It should be more secure. There should be more protection, especially for non-signature-based malware. It works fine for non-signature-based malware, but I expect it to become a bit more advanced to be able to cope with future or upcoming environments."

"It does everything we need. We haven't been able to throw anything at it that it couldn't handle."

"We would like to see the time it takes for the sandbox to analyze a file reduced from its ten or fifteen minute duration to five."

"We propose the on-premises solution to most of our customers, for which we must provide a license, although no such request accompanies customers who want a cloud-based solution."

"There is a limit on the number of files that can be scanned in real-time, which could lead to us being found with our guard down on a high-traffic day."

"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."

"There have been a couple of things that we've tried where we read through the documentation, and we were really looking for some help in implementing, and technical support wanted me to try it first, then call them if it breaks. It would be nicer if they would hold my hand a bit more. It makes me nervous in production, as I don't have a lab."

"I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time."

"Check Point SandBlast Network can be improved by adding more integration capabilities, such as integration with third-party firewalls, third-party EDR solutions, and SIEM."

"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."

"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."

"The Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need a license to a certain extent. You need to pay for advanced features. For corporate accounts, it isn't is really a problem, but pricing is an important thing for many companies."

"I think it's probably less expensive than something like CrowdStrike. We got a really good deal because it was literally their year-end, and they were trying to close all the sales for the week. So we bought a three-year contract from them. It roughly ended up costing me somewhere around $17 for an endpoint per year. It was really quite a nice pricing. I've talked to other folks where they got CrowdStrike, and it's like $60 for an endpoint for a year. It does, and they can be pretty aggressive if you're dealing with them directly, and I have. So no complaints there."

"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."

"The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."

"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."

"We have seen ROI."

"The product's cost is high."

"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."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
