Fortinet FortiSandbox Reviews

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 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.

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.

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. 

Securing mail is our primary use case.

We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect or respond to threats, on the order of 20 percent.

One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats.

We would like to see the solution open to third parties.

The stability is okay.

It's scalable. You can scale it.

We did not have a previous solution. Using this solution is part of the way we do business. If you don't invest in the future you could be stopping your business.

The initial setup is quite complex. You have to really know the features by heart.

There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

We did not evaluate other vendors.

If you aren't sure about the solution, buy the cloud version first. You can use it in their cloud.

The solution is a seven out of ten. The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex.

The solution works very well for us. It's also fast, which is a very valuable aspect.

The solution's GUI is good.

At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences.

The stability of the solution is okay.

The scalability of the solution is good.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The pricing on the solution is okay; it's not too expensive.

We're a reseller. We use the cloud deployment model of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution. The price point is decent and we've been satisfied with the results so far.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine.

If we can have more dashboards, it would be good.

We have FortiSandbox and Fortinet firewalls. I have been using these solutions for three to four years.

It is stable.

Scalability will always be there. Currently, I am the only user.

Their support is good.

Its setup is not that complex.

It was done by a vendor.

Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto.

I would recommend this solution. Others can use it, and there is no harm in that. I haven't used another Sandbox, so I cannot compare it with something else.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

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.
