Quotes from Members

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."
"The dynamic behavior analysis is excellent. We have many attacks caught by the FortiSandbox as zero-day attacks. Additionally, the administration is simple and can be customized to fit your companies needs."
"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."
"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The technical support is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire."

"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"I rate the product's pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The solution is affordable."
"The solution is not expensive at all."
"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
