We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSandbox and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"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."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"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."
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
