We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution.""Performance is a valuable feature.""Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster.""It is an easily scalable solution.""Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions.""The solution is easy to manage.""Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk.""What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself.""Every single feature has been invaluable.""The sandbox functionality is fantastic.""The interface is clean and well-organized, making it simple to navigate and find what we need.""The great thing is that if you get a malicious email and you try to run something, ThreatLocker is not going to let it do anything. It is not going to let anything infect your network.""ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective.""Feature-wise, the learning mode and the fact that it's blocking everything are the most valuable. I don't see why more companies don't use the type of product.""The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."

Cons
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox.""It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux.""At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences.""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.""Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection.""The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software.""ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week.""ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow.""Something we have come up against a couple of times is that we have two clients that are software developers. They create software that doesn't have digital signatures and that's not easy to categorize or whitelist with ThreatLocker. We have to go in and make custom rules to allow them to do their work and to be protected from malicious threats.""If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out.""We identified several areas that we would like to see improved.""One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system.""There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."

    Overview

    Fortinet FortiSandbox is a behavior-based threat detection solution that prevents and detects malicious code in files transferred within the organization. It is integrated with FortiGate firewalls and FortiMail for threat protection and can be used for monitoring and reporting.
