Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Currently, we are not using any other solution for this use case, but previously we used MISP, which is an open-source project that requires a lot of effort to make work. That way, it required a lot of attention from our system administrator, and we had to sanitize the data very frequently because the peers we had. Sometimes they flooded our systems with chunk data and that needs to be handled and we decided to go with a paid solution instead.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs."
"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."
 

Cons

"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"If you were to compare prices between vendors and manufacturers, you would see that the lowest equipment in the Sandbox line is quite expensive for a new customer."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad."
"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is not expensive."
"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case."
