We have seen a good return on investment since implementing Check Point SandBlast Network, as we are spending less time on forensics and it is also preventing us from potential breaches, which itself justifies the cost.

I did get the best from Check Point SandBlast Network's support team; they were very helpful while troubleshooting any kind of issues we faced.
The customer support for Check Point SandBlast Network is great, as the security team has extensive knowledge and provides proper solutions.
For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.
The scalability of Check Point SandBlast Network meets our organization's needs as we grow.
It is scalable but requires growing the box itself because it is a resource-intensive solution.

Simplification of granular tuning for false positive reduction and bypassing benign files would benefit non-expert users.
The issue is that it works only with users or companies with more than 500 users.
My experience with pricing and setup cost is that pricing was a bit high.
Pricing is a bit costly, but considering the features and security offered by Check Point SandBlast Network, it is reasonable.
The sandboxing method of Check Point SandBlast Network is more powerful than other options because it doesn't present a signature database, so it's not totally relying on the signature but also checks for real-time zero-day attacks and signatures.
The key features of Check Point SandBlast Network include its ability to detect zero-day attacks, provide sandboxing capabilities, and offer real-time protection with threat extraction.
It detects zero-day exploits in suspicious and normal files, and includes forensic and reporting features that provide detailed incident analysis, malware behavior reports, and indicators of compromise.
I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.
