Advanced sandboxing has protected users from zero-day threats and has simplified secure file scanning
The smooth integrations between Fortinet FortiSandbox and other Fortinet solutions such as FortiWeb and FortiFirewall and with other Fortinet environments are what I really appreciate. We have minimum false positives during threat detection. Our clients have not given negative feedback from detection. As you know, it still needs some tuning after implementation. However, we never receive negative feedback for many false positives during implementation.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors; additionally, the security works very well."
"Performance is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates, and the timing of scanning files is faster."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
 

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."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
