Fortinet FortiSandbox Reviews

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.

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

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a nine out of ten.

Every day, we connect to Fortinet Administrative Center and Sandbox to view emails. It's great for monitoring and reporting. 

The firmware is very good. 

I like the services and features on offer. 

Technical support is okay.

FortiGate is very easy in terms of configuration. The Web GUI is very simple and the Command Line is okay. The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward. 

The solution is stable.

You can scale the solution easily.

While support is okay, it can always be slightly improved. 

It can be difficult if you need to use the Command Line Interface (CLI). It's much easier if you only have to deal with the GUI. 

The solution has all of the features we need. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The product is stable. FortiGate firmware and the Sandbox are stable. We do not have problems. Even when you update, it's very reliable. There are no bigs or glitches. 

It is a scalable product.

Support has been mostly helpful. 

I have a contact from Fortinet support and my contact is very nice. I use it three to five times a year and they've mostly;y been able to support me and answer my questions. 

We do pay for support and they do provide us with help and with patches, et cetera, to help with firmware and updates and any security items. 

I have used Stormshield in the past. That was a long time ago. We now only use Fortinet for security. Fortinet, in comparison, is easy to configure. Stormshield is also a smaller solution than Fortinet. It's technically more affordable, s Fortinet is more expensive, however, Fortinet is a bigger more technical option.

Setting it up and configuring it is very easy.

It's easy to configure from Sandbox as configuration from the policy is very easy. 

I don't have much information in terms of maintenance tasks and what might be needed to maintain the product. 

We have a one-year license for the product. You can renew it yearly.

I'm very satisfied with this product.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

We have 500 people in the organization. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's great, working from the cloud and the security is good. 

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

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 to integrate FortiMail and FortiGate firewalls.

The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox. The integration of Fortinet FortiSandbox with other Fortinet or FortiGate firewalls is not good. VMs are already installed in the hardware and are working fine, but we tried to approve the custom VM many times but did not succeed.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex in uploading the custom VM. Fortinet FortiSandbox needs to improve the customization and the custom framework updates.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately two years.

Fortinet FortiSandbox stability could improve.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is scalable.

We have approximately 300 users using this solution. We plan to increase usage of Fortinet FortiSandbox. We are moving to the next version soon.

The technical support of Fortinet FortiSandbox is good.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is easy, it took us a few days to do.

We used a third party to do the implementation of Fortinet FortiSandbox.

We have three engineers that are looking after the maintenance and are supporting the solution.

The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is a leader in the market and they have good solutions.

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a seven out of ten.

I provide this solution in the FortiGate firewall as a cloud license. I'm in presales and I qualify the solution, so I don't install it or deploy it. I worked with Sandbox for one project two years ago, especially with FortiGate 200E. I worked with the customer and prepared the solution according to their needs, and we decided on the architecture and design to deploy this solution.

We put the firewall in the front end design and we configured it so that every file will be downloaded through the HTTP, or HTTPS, and the file will be scanned and analyzed with the antivirus of FortiClient. This is checked with the signature of this antivirus. If it's not okay, we will configure it to be scanned and analyzed with Sandbox.

There, we will configure, for example, a virtual machine for in the cloud that contains Windows Server or Windows Desktop, the version that the customer already has. We deploy some services like Active Directory, or the service that the customer uses. We try to send this file to the virtual cloud. Then we check it. If the file attains a certain score, we will block it. If not, we can make an event quarantine. We configure our event in the firewall or in the switch that connects in this firewall, and we will put it in quarantine until that administrator checks this file and where or not it contains malware or not.

In general, we purchase the license and we configure it in the front end firewall, not in the internal or data center firewall. This is especially for downloading the files that we can receive.

For the firewall, we were using the version FortiOS 7.0. The first version that we deployed was the 6.5 version. That includes this cloud license.

The firewall is on-premise, but the license for FortiSandbox is on the cloud.

There are 10 people using this solution in my company.

The price has been a benefit to our organization. Fortinet has given us a very interesting financial offer compared to others. For example, if we compared it with Palo Alto, they have a specific license for sandbox but call it WildFire, and it's very expensive. In comparison with the Fortinet, the license is included in a bundle that includes antivirus and URL file filtering. This is for an SMB, small and medium businesses. It's competitive in terms of the price.

Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster.

There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment. It's better to have more use cases and more simulated environments that we can configure.

I have been using this solution for two years.

The solution is stable. The performance is okay because Fortinet is based on FortiADC, and they have the capability to have a higher performance than others.

I do not use the solution daily. It depends on the project. At the moment, we don't have plans to increase usage.

With the cloud license, the scalability is okay, but it depends on the firewall type. For a smaller business, I think they are limited with the number of files. It depends on the number of firewalls.

For the on-prem solution, it certainly depends. I think there are problems with the scalability. If you need to extend or add more sizing, that means more files per day. We have to change the kind of appliance. This is a problem for that. But if it was on a VM solution, maybe it wouldn't be a problem for scalability.

Technical support is good.

We have used other solutions previously. It depends on the needs of our customers and the budget.

Concerning security, Trend Micro is better in comparison.

Initial setup is complex. The length it takes to deploy the solution just depends. We also need to have a tuning phase to collect more information for the environment and how to configure it. If we already have the template, we can easily configure it in two days. But after that, we have to make a learning phase or tuning phase to see how the solution responds and what the results are, and then we can optimize the configuration. The timing depends on the context.

For maintenance, patching, and updating, we need maybe two people.

The price is competitive.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

We are using Fortinet FortiSandbox to inspect and scan all our files. All the files inside our organization that is transferred through the company. The solution scans the files inside the PSVM because it has many VMs inside the FortiScan. It's working on zero-day attacks and not based on the signature of the threat. It's based on behavior analysis.

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.

Fortinet FortiSandbox has manual scan features. We have other sandboxes solutions from other vendors but they don't have this feature. It allows you to interpret or intervene in the scan whatever you want. It is a SOC analyzer, and it is called Manual Scan or something similar. Comparing this feature to other vendors, it's very good.

The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately six years.

The stability of the solution is good.

We have not tried to scale the solution, it has been working fine for what we have been using it for at this time.

We have approximately 50 devices and 1,000 to 2,000 files being scanned daily.

We use the solution extensively.

We use similar sandbox solutions from Forcepoint and Palo Alto.

The installation of Fortinet FortiSandbox is very easy.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well.

I would recommend Fortinet FortiSandbox to others, it is the most comprehensive sandbox available.

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox an eight out of ten.

We mainly use it for incoming mail from all our domains because we have several of them. We are servicing many companies as the holding company. Every mail is passed to the Sandbox virtual machine. It is a VM. Occasionally, a link or a standalone file that we want to check is also passed to the Sandbox virtual machine.

The scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file. 

I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for about five to six years.

It is very stable. The only thing is that you have to manually check for some extensions. You have to do that mainly for the office documents because they change their extension. You have to manually add the new extension, but it is not a big problem. 

They are very responsive. At first, I had interacted with only the Greece branch of Fortinet, which has only pre-sales engineers, not the support engineers, and they were very helpful. For the last two and a half years, we have a contract with a dedicated team for support. They're getting bigger, better, and greater. 

It is very simple. You just specify the operating system that you want to emulate as well as the office version. It is pretty straightforward in terms of the procedure. It is easy to use and has a very useful interface.

Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway. 

I have used it within the Fortinet ecosystem. The whole Fortinet ecosystem collaborates very well. It is a standalone product as well, but I haven't tested it as a standalone product. If I had a choice, I would opt for the cloud version. I currently have the on-premises version.

I would rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a nine out of ten.

FortiSandbox is a tool we use to secure our client's data. We implement FortiSandbox depending on an organization's requirements. 

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. 

Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor. 

We have used Fortinet for around one year.

FortiSandbox is stable. 

FortiSandbox is scalable.

I rate Fortinet support eight out of 10. 

Positive

We use different solutions depending on the client's requirements. Sometimes we implement Palo Alto. We need to discuss it with the client and select the product that's appropriate for their use case and environment.

Setting up FortiSandbox is easy and takes about three weeks. You need to collect the asset management information and requirements to integrate FortiSandbox.

I rate FortiSandbox eight out of 10 for affordability. It's competitive and reasonable.

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox eight out of 10.
