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."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."
"SandBlast updates the threat signatures frequently."
"Check Point SandBlast is best in terms of the extraction function. Customers can get a clean firewall with extraction after I've cleaned and scanned it from Check Point. It's easy for users, too."
"The most efficient and protective characteristics of Check Point's SandBlast solution are that we can see a lot of this protection at the network and mail levels."
"It provides a high rate of catching the zero-day advanced threats."
"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."
"Threat extraction can help us to remove malicious content from documents by converting them to PDF."
"In terms of the scalability, it's expandable across the cloud."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"It is not at all interesting for me as a standalone product, but as a product that is integrated with FortiGate with all features, it is actually a great tool and a great experience. I had test installed FortiClient working from home. I remembered and knew which web categories were denied or allowed. All those policies were correctly reflected standalone, for example, on my laptop."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"It's very stable."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"I think Check Point provides standard time which ideally most other vendors take to identify behaviors of a file by sending them into a sandbox environment for inspection."
"Check Point SandBlast Network can improve the integration with third-party vendors, such as EDR or CRM products. For example, IBM Curator."
"I imagine there will be improvements in later versions. There are hotfixes that come out all the time."
"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."
"They need to improve the GUI interface."
"I am very leery right now about the stability. We've had three outages in the last month because of Check Point, not because of something that the customer has done, but because of changes on the Check Point side."
"At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster."
"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."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
