Fortinet FortiSandbox Initial Setup
My impression is that the initial setup process is quite straightforward. If you know what you're using it for, the initial setup can be quite easy and the solution is not that hard to use.
When it comes to the steps taken for the implementation, you would select the OS you're using and when the files are sent to the appliance you check, and in the appliance configuration, it must be like the visual governance environment. You must set up the OS you have so that appliance can scan or analyze your file. To maintain this solution, you must always have at least one all-around person tuning this solution.

The setup of Fortinet is quite straightforward. If you're going to use their products, then you really need to know what to do technically. However, there's no great learning curve in the concept of setting it up, or at least not for anyone who's interested in applying themselves.
The solution is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet. There is a special solution for sandboxing, but it increases the level of security. In that version, you can get more from that solution and more efficiency in using sandboxing.
The initial setup is easy because I have been working with Juniper, and they have the same interface. The graphic interface is friendly and it is intuitive. For me, it is easy to configure.

The initial setup phase of Fortinet FortiSandbox was pretty straightforward because, in my case, I worked with the physical appliances. According to the documentation, the setup phase for virtual appliances would be exactly the same as for physical appliances. You just deploy the box and then configure it, after which you create some integrations with FortiMail and other systems, which may take less than an hour.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in an hour or even less in the easiest scenarios. In the not-so-easy scenarios, the deployment phase for the solution may take a day or two. Some of my company's customers want to integrate Fortinet FortiSandbox with FortiMail and other tools, so it involves multiple integration points. The purpose of integrating Fortinet FortiSandbox with other tools may be to simultaneously monitor network or email traffic and use some customized images for virtual machines, which does take time. There is a need to perform fine-tuning in the solution to set up detection capabilities and some mechanisms.
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.

Initial setup is complex. The length it takes to deploy the solution just depends. We also need to have a tuning phase to collect more information for the environment and how to configure it. If we already have the template, we can easily configure it in two days. But after that, we have to make a learning phase or tuning phase to see how the solution responds and what the results are, and then we can optimize the configuration. The timing depends on the context.
For maintenance, patching, and updating, we need maybe two people.
View full review »The setup is straightforward. Yeah. You only need to install the VM and configure the two interfaces. We use one FortiSandbox for external requests and another internally. Sometimes, the malware tries to access something on the Internet. you can block it on the sandbox or allow it, so you can gather more information about what it is trying to do.
But maybe you don't want the VM or the malware on the VM accessing the Internet from your environment. You need to configure that interface for that purpose. After that, you must authorize the FortiGate or the fabric devices on the FortiSandbox and create the VMs. If you are using the VMs Fortinet provides, you can download and provision them with one click. It will have the default configuration. The default policy may not work the way you intend, but it will protect out of the box.

It is very simple. You just specify the operating system that you want to emulate as well as the office version. It is pretty straightforward in terms of the procedure. It is easy to use and has a very useful interface.

Setting it up and configuring it is very easy.
It's easy to configure from Sandbox as configuration from the policy is very easy.
I don't have much information in terms of maintenance tasks and what might be needed to maintain the product.

The product is easy to deploy.
The product can be deployed in 15 days.
Two or three people from our company are involved in the deployment, implementation, and configuration process.
We have the support to set it up. It took a few months to deploy it. We integrate the solution and the support takes care of the solution after that. Almost three to four people are required for the maintenance.

A network security engineer can deploy the solution. The organization's IT department manages administration, including application and network security. Multiple administrators may use FortiSandbox, each with their front-end interface for managing it.

In terms of the initial setup, I would say it is half straightforward and half complex. It depends on the scenario and it depends on the kind of things you want to do with the Sandbox, for example, the kind of files you want to analyze or which kind of OS or images you want to analyze. It also depends on the requirements. Sometimes it's harder to deploy due to the scenario, the use case.
Deployment times also vary, however, it takes, at minimum, 15 days to set everything up.
