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 puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"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."
"You have access to a report as to what behaviors the example file entered in the registry."
"Performance is a valuable feature."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"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."
"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."
"The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"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."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The price could be better."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
