Dynamic file analysis enhances threat detection capabilities
Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware. The system analyzes files dynamically and provides feedback on the impact of the file. Cloud sandbox manages the analysis using Hillstone on the cloud, offering a service to detect unknown threats. It's easy to integrate and offers dynamic analysis supporting many types of files.

Easy to set up and use with a nice interface
The scalability could be better. We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats. In sandboxing, the time to respond is slower than we would like. We'd like them to be able to process faster. For example, Fortinet, they are doing 18,000 files per hour. For Wildfire, it is elastic. It can support as many files as you get. McAfee doesn't react like that. It does not support interfaces with HTTPS.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"It is stable and reliable."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"It is very scalable."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
