We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and Fortinet FortiSandbox 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."Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"The interface also makes it easy for us to configure the VPN from the GUI rather than the command line, which makes it easy even for less experienced engineers to work with."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"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."
"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."
"Mobile access has helped us cater to more than 4000 users so that they can work from home."
"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"FortiSandbox analyzes the behavior of processes in a sandbox environment, which is useful for threat hunting. The solution has an excellent standard configuration, and you can prioritize the types of files of VMs you want to analyze. It also integrates seamlessly with other Fortinet solutions, like FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiEMS."
"The dynamic behavior analysis is excellent. We have many attacks caught by the FortiSandbox as zero-day attacks. Additionally, the administration is simple and can be customized to fit your companies needs."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"The solution extracts an attached file before reaching the user and notifies the user if there's something malicious in the attachment received along with an email."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster."
"The upgrade procedure already made huge improvements, yet it remains more challenging compared to other products."
"We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners."
"I would like for users to have more control over the platform in the next release. Right now, the system is very central and general requiring new rules to be created that better-suite our requirements."
"I like that the Compliance software blade is available for free with the Security Management server purchase, but it is free for only one year - after that you have to buy an additional license to continue using it. I think such an important feature is vital for the management server, and should not be licensed separately."
"Some costs are ridiculously high."
"Being a security appliance, there should be the ability for the Security Management server to send email alerts via authenticated email."
"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"I would like the ability to have an overview, cross-site: One portal that does all firewalls. Also, the user interface is overly complicated."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad."
"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
