"The main benefit of Fortinet FortiSandbox is that it allows organizations to detect and prevent unknown threats from entering an infrastructure.""One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats.""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.""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.""he solution's GUI is good.""The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises.""Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware.

Cons
"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts.""Alert fatigue is a common issue with platforms that have strong detection capabilities. Implementing more filtering and prioritization mechanisms can help address this issue, ensuring that security teams can focus on the most critical threats.""The updates could be less frequent.""The tool's technical support lags.""Technical support is something that needs improvement.""We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution.""The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty.""There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."

More Check Point Infinity Cons →

"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM.""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.""Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor.""I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release.""In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.""At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences.""The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox.""The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
  • "Check Point should provide an enterprise-wide license where the organization should be provided free hand of using any license or services for an agreed period of time (EULA)."

  • "The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
  • "While the initial payment might be perceived as relatively higher, the absence of hidden supplementing charges contributes to a straightforward and clear pricing model. The pricing is cheap and moderate."
  • "When it comes to price, the paramount consideration is the strength of the security. If the security measures provided by the product, such as Check Point Infinity, are robust and meet our requirements, price becomes a secondary concern."
