| Senior Threat Intelligence & Hunting Analyst/Consultant at Wise Security Global | 3.5 | I use Cuckoo Sandbox for automated malware behavior analysis, especially for extracting IOCs. It effectively shows system changes and network connections, improving incident detection, though its signature detection needs better correlation. It's essential alongside SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender. |
| Senior Security Engineer at Valuepoint Systems | 4.0 | We use Cuckoo Sandbox for phishing emails and malware analysis due to its excellent dynamic analysis features and user-friendly interface. Although installation requires OS checks, we switched from AnyRun for more detailed reporting and comprehensive results. |
| Pre-Sales at Frux | 4.0 | I use Cuckoo Sandbox for detailed analysis but find that the command response time could be quicker. I haven’t used or considered any other solutions, nor have I deployed it on any cloud provider. |
