Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."
"FortiSandbox helps us handle unknown threats. Every vendor is competing for who can detect an unknown threat the fastest. Fortinet is competitive in the market."
"Performance is a valuable feature."
"The scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."
"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"The initial implementation is pretty easy to handle."
"It's a mature product. It does a good job in detection."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution blocks malicious emails containing viruses and malware and reduces them out of spam."
"The setup was easy."
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."
"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by allowing more customization of the reports, such as exceptions and black-and-white lists."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is an expensive solution."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
