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.

It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

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 threat prediction and network forensics."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"Our license is for one year."
