We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well.""Performance is a valuable feature.""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.""FortiSandbox helps us handle unknown threats. Every vendor is competing for who can detect an unknown threat the fastest. Fortinet is competitive in the market.""The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward.""Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs."

"They have a large database of commonly known things that they can catch automatically, then they have anything which is questionable go to the sandbox and be examined there before going into our network.""The reporting that you get from it is the most valuable feature. You can see it via the appliance itself, and also via the MySonicWall account for the registered device. You are able to select the file if it's malicious, and you can select it in the reporting and see what triggered it, and things like that. I found that to be quite useful.""It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product.""The ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) on scanning is the most valuable feature.""The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us.""Provides good protection and security.""I like this setup for a firewall. You can set things up very easily and you can automate items as well. It's a very robust firewall solution for enterprise as well as small businesses.""We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks."

Cons
"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.""Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.""If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks.""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 licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified.""Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"SonicWall should promote their roadmap and improve their marketing to customers.""Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product.""I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex.""If anything at all, it would be some very minor updates that need to be done, but in terms of changes, nothing comes to mind.""I would say the solution needs a much simpler user interface, but the functionality of the firewall is quite extensive. You need the user interface to be that way. However, if there was a way to make the user interface a little easier, that would be great.""SonicWall had a recent layoff. This is a concern for us, because now we are missing the local presence from both the engineering and sales side.""Having an on-premise solution as well would be an option for some people, but they'll want to use a cloud solution for their sandboxing. Certain sites would want to keep all the checks done on an on-premise appliance. All the checking, rather than sending that up into a cloud engine.""The setup needs improvement. It needs to be made more user-friendly."

  • "The solution is not expensive at all."
  • "Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
  • "We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
  • "There is a license to use this solution."
  • "Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."

  • More Fortinet FortiSandbox Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The best deal from SonicWall is to buy the HA pair. When you buy the initial one, you receive the second one at a significant discount. If there is an event and something happens to one firewall, then you have the second firewall to roll into. For the price, it's pretty to tough to beat and not a lot of other firewall vendors offer it. You battle for a discount on both. Where with SonicWall, if you buy one, the second one is at half price. It's pretty straightforward."
  • "When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
  • "We get our value for our money."
  • "It's thirty dollars per user and we have 30 users."

    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.
