Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 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 product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"You have access to a report as to what behaviors the example file entered in the registry."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remove bad messages that were delivered, prior to being classified as unwanted."
"The solution has very strong detection for most of the phishing and malicious emails received from the outside."
"The Phish Alarm button allows users to submit questionable emails for review and complete analysis."
"Proofpoint Email Protection offers an additional layer of protection compared to other brands like Microsoft, Mimecast, and Barracuda. While these major companies excel at detecting malicious attachments, the solution goes further by analyzing the context of emails, allowing for more nuanced decision-making."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"It was easy to set up."
"There is no downtime."
"It's a mature product. It does a good job in detection."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"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."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."
"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."
"Pricing for the platform could still be cheaper."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"Proofpoint Email Protection's interface is confusing and could be improved."
"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."
"I would want better spear phishing protection in the essentials package."
"Proofpoint has a lot of false alarms."
"There is room for improvement in detecting and preventing phishing attacks. While the solution performs well in some aspects, it struggles with phishing threats."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve on the training. Every organization is different and to fine-tune it to block everything properly there needs to be better training. Sometimes it can block some of the information it shouldn't."
