"The technology is impressive in general."
"It looks out for new cyber threats and generates predictions based on behaviors that are already detected on a daily basis."
"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features."
"It enables my IT system to apply threat detection intelligence and diffuse the endpoint and potential threat attacks and phishing attacks onto the system in the most proactive and secure manner."
"The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside."
"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."
"The Check Point SandBlast Network uses caching and static analysis to actually reduce the time it takes to scan and isolate the same file for incoming data compromises."
"We use the product on our Azure network firewalls."
"The most valuable features are security and support."
"The most valuable features are web control and IPS/IDS."
"The most valuable feature is that you can launch it in a very short time. You don't have to wait for the hardware to arrive and get it staged and installed. From that perspective, it is easy to launch. It is also scalable."
"They now know the details about their network traffic that they did not know before: Applications that they are using and some application they did not know they were using."
"With the improved visibility we now have, the traffic is being properly monitored, which means that we are better able to manage it. These are improvements that we saw very quickly."
"It has a good performance which helps you with the stability of your virtual environment."
"The VM-Series reports how much bandwidth a particular IP is using. You don't need to regularly log into a website, like a Cisco command, to see what kind of ACL it's getting. There isn't an ACL use portal event. You can go there and see how much my ACL has been getting me."
"Many Important controls are only available in CLI & very very complicated. All tecli command features should available on GUI so that it will become easy for normal users to monitor & control queue."

"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."
"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."
"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."
"There should be an option for direct integration with the Azure platform."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the endpoints and the firewalls."
"The product's AIOps process needs improvement."
"Its web interface is a bit outdated, and it needs to be updated. They can also improve the NAT functionality. We have had issues with the NAT setup."
"The user interface could use some improvement."
"I would like to see a more thorough QA process. We have had some difficulties from bugs in releases."
"It would be helpful if we had a direct number for the support manager or the supporting engineer. That would be better than having to email every time because there would be less wait."
"It has to be more scalable for the deployment of VMs on the cloud."
