We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well.""The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response.""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""The dynamic behavior analysis is excellent. We have many attacks caught by the FortiSandbox as zero-day attacks. Additionally, the administration is simple and can be customized to fit your companies needs.""It is an easily scalable solution.""The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis.""The technical support is very good."

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs.""The UI is very good.""It improved my organization by building a security alerting program.""Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well.""The solution's initial setup is easy.""The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​""The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

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.""Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire.""In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks.""I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release.""If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks.""The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier.""The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad.""The response time from technical support should be improved."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules.""The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources.""Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

  • More Fortinet FortiSandbox Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
