Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 analysis engine is a very valuable feature.""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.""Fortinet FortiSandbox is scalable.""Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs.""Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster.""The technical support is very good.""The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."

"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP.""The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it.""ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface.""It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."

Cons
"The response time from technical support should be improved.""The main area of concern in Fortinet FortiSandbox is its detection capabilities.""Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content""There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment.""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 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.""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.""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."

"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment.""I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool.""They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community""Integration is an area that could use some improvement."

    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.
