Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats.""Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine.""The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response.""The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward.""What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use.""The technical support is very good.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company.""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"

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

Cons
"The main area of concern in Fortinet FortiSandbox is its detection capabilities.""Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire.""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 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.""It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux.""If you were to compare prices between vendors and manufacturers, you would see that the lowest equipment in the Sandbox line is quite expensive for a new customer.""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.""If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""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.""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Fortinet FortiSandbox is a nominally priced product, so I would not say that it is a very cheap tool. It is one of the best solutions in the market with a competitive pricing model, similar to the… more »
    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 »
