Advanced sandboxing has protected users from zero-day threats and has simplified secure file scanning
The smooth integrations between Fortinet FortiSandbox and other Fortinet solutions such as FortiWeb and FortiFirewall and with other Fortinet environments are what I really appreciate. We have minimum false positives during threat detection. Our clients have not given negative feedback from detection. As you know, it still needs some tuning after implementation. However, we never receive negative feedback for many false positives during implementation.

Effective threat protection with room for cost and usability improvements
There are some drawbacks that I would mention. To be frank, enterprises always look for cost benefits, so Kaspersky could implement some price benefits. Additionally, regarding know-how, if I am an experienced person it's fine, but when someone novice is working with it, they need information about why certain actions are required. Security is a field that is very vast, and implications are not known to everyone. In future updates, a quick walk-through and know-how features would be beneficial, such as information text at relevant places. This will increase usability. Feature-wise, an impact analysis would be a really good addition.

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect or respond to threats, on the order of 20 percent."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the antivirus and child protection features."
"When it comes to threat detection, it is very strict with file downloads and uploads. It sends reports and quarantines suspicious files."

Cons

"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 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."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"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."
"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."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"When I do a configuration, I do not know what implication it will have downstream."
"I believe the absence of a procedure is the main issue."
"It might be helpful to have notifications on mobile devices, especially if the same browser profile is used on both mobile and laptop."
"The initial setup of Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway is complex. The full deployment took approximately two weeks."
"The initial setup of Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway is complex. The full deployment took approximately two weeks."
"In different locations, they're priced differently, but that's mainly marketing rather than the product features."
"The customer support of the product is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is a nominally priced product, so I would not say that it is a very cheap tool."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"The price is competitive."
"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud."
"The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being very expensive and one being cheap. It's neither too cheap nor too expensive."
"The cost is relatively high, and as a licensed product, there are restrictions on the number of users permitted per license."
"Personal computer licenses can be expensive if you were to scale the solution extensively. However, large companies will most likely use Endpoint solutions and not this one."
"It is expensive."
"I am okay with the pricing."
