Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature.""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""One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats.""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.""The initial setup is straightforward.""Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster.""Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions.""The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."

"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""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.""It is stable and reliable.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""It is very scalable."

Cons
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product.""In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks.""The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier.""In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.""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.""At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences.""It can be difficult if you need to use the Command Line Interface (CLI). It's much easier if you only have to deal with the GUI.""The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."

"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.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""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."

    Top Answer:For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking.
    Top Answer:The product offers good pricing. It was not very expensive.
    Top Answer:The scalability could be better. We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats. In sandboxing, the time to respond is slower than we would like. We'd like them to be able to process… more »
