“Check Point SandBlast Network Delivers Soild Protection, But Initial Setup and Performance Could Be Improved”

5.0
Nov 8, 2025
I've been using Check Point SandBlast Network for some time now, and overall, the experience has been quite positive. It has added a strong layer of protection to our network, especially against advanced and unknown threats. Once it was properly tuned for our environment, it started performing really well in detecting suspicious traffic and blocking potential attacks. The initial setup took some time since there were many configuration options to go through, but once everything was aligned with our network structure, it worked smoothly. The support team was cooperative and knowledgeable, though at time their response could have been a little faster. Overall, it has definitely strengthened our security posture and given us better confidence in our threat prevention system.

Check Point SandBlast Network Likes & Dislikes

The best thing about Check Point SandBlast Network is its advanced threat detection and prevention. It does a great job identifying zero-day threats and other complex attacks before they can reach our systems. The threat emulation and extraction features are particularly impressive - they analyze suspicious files in a virtual environment and keep risky attachments away from users. I also like the detailed visibility it provides into network activities. The reports are easy to understand and help us take quick action whenever something looks unusual. Once configured properly, it runs very reliably with minimal manual intervention.

The biggest strength of SandBlast Network is its strong zero-day threat prevention using sandboxing and amulation, which gives good confidence against unknown attacks. Another thing I like is the deep integration with other Check Point Security solutions, which makes centralized management easier for network security teams. It also provides detailed threat reports and logs, which help in analysis investigation. Once tuned properly, the solution runs very stable with minimal performance impact.

The main challenge I faced was during the initial deployment phase. The configuration part can be a bit complex for someone setting it up for fist time, and the documentation could be simpler. Also, while the product performs really well, sometimes the console interface feels slightly heavy when loading large logs or reports. Pricing could also be a little more flexible for smaller organizations, as it might be on the higher side compared to some other options. But considering the level of protection it offers, it's still a fair trade-off.

Dislike

One of the main challenges is that the initial setup and configuration is quite complex and needs experienced resources to tune policies properly. For new teams, the learning curve can be steep. The management console is powerful, but sometimes it feels overloaded, and simple tasks more clicks than expected. UI improvements would really help day-to-day operations. Licensing and pricing structure is a bit confusing, especially when multiple blades of features and involved. It's not always easy to understand what is included without vendor clarification. And in some cases, troubleshooting advanced threats takes time, and support resolution for complex issues can be slower than expected.

    My experience with Check Point SandBlast Network has been quite positive. It does a solid job in detecting and blocking advanced malware and zero-day threats, especially in email and web traffic. The threat prevention capability is strong and reliable. Initial setup took some time and required proper tuning, but once it was configured, it worked smoothly. The management console is powerful, though it can feel a bit complex at first. Support response is generally good, but troubleshooting advanced cases can take time.

    Comprehensive Protection Against Threats Provided With Initial Learning Required

    Jan 1, 2026
    My overall experience with this product has been very good. It helps us to prevent threats by isolating and cleaning suspicious files. It also helps us from zero day attacks and it also works silently in the background without affecting normal network activity. However, in the beginning you need to learn it but once you understand it . The product provides you with overall security features.
