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

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"I would recommend Fortinet FortiSandbox to others, it is the most comprehensive sandbox available."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors; additionally, the security works very well."
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"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 solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
 

Cons

"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"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."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"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."
"If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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 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."
"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 solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"It is an expensive solution."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"The solution is not expensive at all."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
