Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk.""The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well.""One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats.""The analysis engine is a very valuable feature.""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.""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"

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Pros →

"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""It is very scalable.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""It is stable and reliable.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."

Cons
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox. The integration of Fortinet FortiSandbox with other Fortinet or FortiGate firewalls is not good. VMs are already installed in the hardware and are working fine, but we tried to approve the custom VM many times but did not succeed.""It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux.""For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine.""The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified.""Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire.""I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."

"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
