Fortinet FortiSandbox Reviews

We use this solution to stay updated on the latest vulnerabilities and attacks. It acts as a database for Fortinet customers to keep their equipment safe and secure.

In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. 

I have a little experience with this solution. We recently purchased new equipment to upgrade from the old range to the new range. 

We previously used FortiGate 100D and upgraded to FortiGate 100S now. 

It is a stable solution.  

FortiSandbox is scalable. We have more than 1200 users across branch offices and headquarters.

Whenever we reach out to Fortinet, they give a response in time. Till now, we have had positive interactions.

We connect with FortiGate through qualified vendors, especially regarding SLA and responsiveness.

I have experience with other solutions like Sophos and CheckPoint. 

We have an IT department managing the solution. There are around 30 people in the team. 

FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud.

We purchased the bundle. So, we got one price for the package. It was a unified package. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Fortinet FortiSandbox is used for threat protection. For example, in emails and the internet.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides.

Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately one year.

I rate the stability of Fortinet FortiSandbox a four out of five.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiSandbox a four out of five.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is scalable.

The technical support is good.

We previously used Check Point Sandblast.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation was completed in-house with Fortinet support.

The solution is affordable. There is an additional cost for a support license.

We evaluated Palo Alto.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

Compared to other sandbox solutions, Fortinet FortiSandbox is the most stable.

I am using Fortinet FortiSandbox for security in the Fortinet fabric.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well.

Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately six years.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is a stable solution.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiSandbox is good.

The support could improve their knowledge because they acquired other solutions and have yet to gain the knowledge to support them.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox was easy. It can take a few days to complete.

The maintenance of Fortinet FortiSandbox is done by two IT managers.

The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case.

We evaluated other options before choosing Fortinet FortiSandbox.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a seven out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiSandbox for malware analysis, seamlessly integrating with various solutions such as FortiGate, FortiMail for Mail Security, FortiWeb, and other endpoints. FortiSandbox also supports ICAP integration with FortiWeb, enhancing its capabilities. These integrations can be configured within FortiSandbox, either internally or externally. Additionally, FortiSandbox offers integration with Exchange as an adapter.

The integration is easy with other Fortinet products like FortiMail. The technology of sandboxing FortiSandbox can cover it.

Fortinet FortiSandbox has the capability for manual analysis' Unlike its competitors, FortiSandbox offers functionalities such as banning, sniffing, and analyzing traffic in the network. It can connect as a bandwidth analyzer and provide analytics on the network traffic. It's not limited to just sandboxing; it can also operate at the endpoint, firewall, or gateway levels to submit files for analysis and monitor network traffic for analysts.

The solution must focus on API integration with other vendors.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox as an integrator since 2017.

The solution is stable on dedicated appliances like virtual machines. It also depends on the capabilities of the host system, including CPU and RAM.

The solution is scalable. You can configure up to one hundred nodes as workers. Additionally, you can include up to ninety-eight worker nodes in other models, allowing them to function as a cluster.

It has a defense line from zero-day attacks and sophisticated attacks. You will need an EDR solution and the endpoint.

Six persons are using this solution.

Customer support is friendly and has a good team.

A network security engineer can deploy the solution. The organization's IT department manages administration, including application and network security. Multiple administrators may use FortiSandbox, each with their front-end interface for managing it.

The solution provide zero-day attacks which benefitted a lot.

If the customer's operating system is supported, there's no need for a custom package. It's straightforward. If a custom operating system is required, it will take longer due to the need for package customization.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is to view the texts from our clients to their lawyers. We look for unknown malware and then I also use FortiFabric for integration. 

I like the integration between FortiSandbox and FortiClient with FortiGate.

It would be awesome if it can be integrated with other solutions. I would like to add one more feature because there are some tricks to deploy integration for all sorts in a product. I had that problem because when I had FortiSandbox, FortiLink, FortiClient, FortiManager, FortiLicense, there was one license for the integration, and the other license was called IOP or FortiAnalyzer. I would like to have one bundle or one license for each device. There should be one orchestrator for the integration because until now there have been two devices, which are the orchestrators for the integration. So most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product.

The solution is very stable and I've never had any issues with stability.

I believe the solution is scalable.

The technical support is very good.

Setup and installation is very easy with the Fortinet Portal. If I remember correctly, the deployment took about a week.

There are additional costs that aren't included in the licensing fee.

I will definitely recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, my rating will be an eight. In the next version I would love to see more integration and more products from other vendors.

The primary use case of this solution is for using FortiSandbox.

The deployment model we are using is on-premises.

The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response.

FortiSandbox could be improved. Fortinet took some time to include this feature and new technologies.

They have to develop it more, because of the codes, the variables in the number of virtual environments and the number of virtual rules.

They only provide eight or sometimes a maximum of fourteen virtual environments and the competitors are offering two hundred environments, so the number of environments offered it too small and needs to increase. Currently, this is one of the weakest capabilities with FortiSandbox.

The integration has no enforcements, you cannot apply any action, you have to integrate it with Fortinet. For example, if a customer wants to have FortiSandbox, he has to purchase the entire Fortinet profile. This is not an advantage for Fortinet, compared to others that can be integrated easily with any technology and with any vendor. Fortinet will only integrate with itself.

They are not leading in endpoints for FortiSandbox.

The capabilities and features of this solution are not good. They have to enhance and develop the product to compete.

In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.

This solution is stable. I have not had any issues with stability. It's fine.

We face some challenges with Fortinet. Each time we use the technical support, we run into the same problem. We open a ticket and we have to wait until is it escalated to a tier-two or a tier-three level before anyone will address your specific issues. You will never get help on the first level, and it is always directed to another level.

There seems to be a lack of coordinators.

It is possible that on our end we contact them for issues that are on a larger scale, or new issues, never on a basic level. However, it still takes time to get the issue resolved. 

The installation is easy and straightforward.

Other companies, the competitors of Fortinet, offer this and in this area, they are better.

We are Platinum level partners, and I am a consultant.

My advice would be to check the web reviews and you will find that Sandbox and FortiClient are not the best.

If you check Gartner, you will see that McAfee and Microsoft are better.

The setup and installation are easy and straightforward.

If you a Symantec endpoint then it's easy and straightforward.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We implemented FortiSandbox in three main steps: planning the infrastructure and topology, setting up dedicated Internet access for the sandbox, and configuring manual uploading and email forwarding. For email communication, we used either FortiMail or BCC/force mirroring solutions. FortiSandbox has successfully identified and blocked email attachments containing threats. 

The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis, but it's not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content.

I have experience working with Fortinet FortiSandbox, but it's been about one year since the first implementation.

It is stable

The solution is scalable especially suitable for enterprise businesses.

I haven't needed technical support, and while the pricing can be expensive, the performance and security it offers are commendable.

I rate the initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox as a little bit difficult due to licensing issues,

I would recommend FortiSandbox for high-security environments like financial or government sectors. Overall, I rate it an eight out of ten.
