| Security Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I've used Fortinet FortiSandbox for over five years, appreciating its seamless integration, minimal false positives, and ease of use. It’s stable, scalable, and effective, though I’d like to see more AI and automation features added. |
| Senior Security & Infra Technology Systems Engineer at BARQ Systems | 4.5 | We use FortiSandbox for scanning files and images on our networks, benefiting from its ability to integrate with various devices. However, it lacks integration with endpoint security solutions, which limits file scanning to network activity only. |
| Information security manager at asa com | 4.5 | I use Fortinet FortiSandbox primarily to prevent malicious code and receive alerts. The solution's valuable features include its sandbox integrity and powerful analysis tool. Improvements could be made in AI integration, stability, and pricing. Overall, it delivers a good return on investment. |
| System admin at Environment Fund | 2.5 | I tested Fortinet FortiSandbox for several months, using it mainly to scan file attachments. While it performs well, improvements are needed in email scanning speed, cloud integration, and performance. It's easier to configure than Cisco, and we use Alibaba Cloud. |
| Assistant Vice President, PreSales at Netcore Cloud | 3.5 | Fortinet FortiSandbox offers valuable features like CDR, sandboxing, and DLP fingerprinting. However, it could be improved with a dashboard displaying threat chains. It enhances ROI by protecting brand value and preventing costly data breaches for businesses of any size. |
| Student at KL University | 4.0 | I use Fortinet FortiSandbox for malware detection during file transfers. Its good performance is valuable, but it is costly and difficult to deploy. I have experience with Check Point and NetScaler, but find FortiSandbox more SASE-like. |
| Independent Consultant | 4.5 | I use Fortinet FortiSandbox for integrating our email system with FortiMail and our network infrastructure. While its integration features are valuable, its detection capabilities need improvement, as competitors sometimes identify threats that FortiSandbox misses. |
| IT Tech Leader at Ipiranga | 4.0 | I have experience with Fortinet FortiSandbox, which effectively quarantines and analyzes suspicious files for viruses. However, it needs improvement in staying updated to handle new risks consistently. Overall, it's a multifunctional solution but requires better updates. |
