Cons
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure.""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.""I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release.""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.""The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad.""The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified.""If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.""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."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution.""There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery.""The tool's configuration can be made easier.""The solution could be more secure.""Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers.""The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing.""I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection.""The scalability is sometimes limited."
