We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Fortinet FortiSandbox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"Cisco Stealthwatch provides the solutions analytics and threat detection capabilities that I am looking for. It has also improved the network visibility of our organization."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"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 features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"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"
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"It hasn't really improved our direct detection rate but it has definitely reduced our incident response time as we wouldn't have been able to detect threats or immediate risks without this solution."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex. You cannot only deploy Fortinet FortiSandbox without deploying the stack of Fortinet solutions. The implementation and integration are challenging tasks with the device and placement in the network. We needed to do POC and offloading testing."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"If you were to compare prices between vendors and manufacturers, you would see that the lowest equipment in the Sandbox line is quite expensive for a new customer."
"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."
"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."
