Automated and manual threat analysis provides deep insights for potential threat remediation
The most valuable features of Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer 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.

Simplified threat detection and reduced policy deployment time
The standout features of Check Point Security Management are unified policy management, real-time visibility, and automation capabilities, making it a powerful tool for security management. Consistency across environments with Check Point Security Management helps me ensure that instead of maintaining separate rules for firewalls, cloud workloads, and data centers, we apply one unified policy that covers them all. This reduces misconfigurations and ensures compliance, proving to be a time-saver because rolling out a new rule or updating an existing one takes minutes, not hours, because it is propagated everywhere automatically. Automation is one of the most valuable aspects of Check Point Security Management, and it often does not get enough attention compared to headline features like unified policies or visibility. With policy automation, routine tasks such as rule creation, compliance checks, or policy updates can be automated, reducing human error and saving hours of manual work. Check Point Security Management has simplified administration in my organization because instead of juggling multiple consoles, everything is managed from a single pane of glass. This has reduced complexity and saved significant time for our IT team, improving our operational efficiency. For a policy update, I used to spend two or three hours across multiple consoles. Now, with unified management in Check Point Security Management, it takes thirty to forty minutes, resulting in about a seventy percent reduction in effort, greatly boosting productivity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The beautiful thing about the GravityZone product group is that you can successfully curate your groups, create time-sensitive policies, apply them, and push reconfiguration so that engine is functioning, tuned, and safe, giving us a speedy reaction time to events."
"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."
"Bitdefender has shown fantastic stability over the past eight years with no major incidents reported."
"The solution we use, which is cloud-based, is simple and easy."
"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."
"To some extent, Bitdefender already covers most of the security features; you don't need to buy other solutions."
"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."
"It is easy to use, and there is a lot of automation. So, users don't need to worry about that."
"Centralized policy management has drastically reduced the time we spend configuring and deploying rules across multiple gateways from hours to minutes, thanks to SmartConsole and automated policy deployment."
"The best feature Check Point Security Management offers is definitely the log management; I've worked with other firewall vendors and the overview of the logs that you get in Check Point Security Management is superb."
"The transparency of the rules and the integrated logs makes daily troubleshooting easy and saves a lot of time."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"I love the URL filtering as well as the identification capabilities which link with the Active Directory and work for me even with bandwidth regulation. These allow me to select to whom to do what, and when."
"Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"Overall, the ROI is great; it is a solid and easy-to-use platform that adds a huge value that justifies every penny."
 

Cons

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. Unlike most anti-virus consoles that ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do 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."
"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."
"One area that needs improvement in Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer is the addition of an asset management feature."
"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."
"It also offers compatibility with third-party security solutions, however, it is not a lot. This needs to be improved."
"I and my colleagues occasionally report glitches or missing data views with the GUI stability and performance issues, and sometimes SmartConsole crashes."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"Check Point is highly regarded for its effectiveness and the three-layer architecture for security, comprising the client, Security Management, and secure management console, integrated with firewall capabilities."
"Check Point Security Management can be improved as it requires significant resources, particularly in larger deployments."
"The initial setup of Check Point Security Management is a little bit complex. This process could be made easier so that the configuration or initial setup would be simpler to configure."
"I would like this solution to be integrated directly into the Cluster XL equipment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
"The solution is expensive."
