Light and powerful solution design; useful to have
My impression is that the initial setup process is quite straightforward. If you know what you're using it for, the initial setup can be quite easy and the solution is not that hard to use. When it comes to the steps taken for the implementation, you would select the OS you're using and when the files are sent to the appliance you check, and in the appliance configuration, it must be like the visual governance environment. You must set up the OS you have so that appliance can scan or analyze your file. To maintain this solution, you must always have at least one all-around person tuning this solution.
SimonClark - PeerSpot reviewer
Able to discover unpatched servers, offers good stability, and scales very well
A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful. This could be useful for insurance companies offering cyber insurance to enterprise customers, providing the insurer with a valuable way to unobtrusively, quickly, and frequently assess their customers and apply appropriate premiums for the level of risk. This would also be useful for enterprises. They could, for example, assess companies prior to a merger or acquisition. What would also be useful for any enterprise would be if their supply chain has some kind of direct digital access to parts of their network.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."
"The most valuable features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox is scalable."
"The solution extracts an attached file before reaching the user and notifies the user if there's something malicious in the attachment received along with an email."
"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 solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
 

Cons

"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex. You cannot only deploy Fortinet FortiSandbox without deploying the stack of Fortinet solutions. The implementation and integration are challenging tasks with the device and placement in the network. We needed to do POC and offloading testing."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking."
"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
"The solution is affordable."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox is a nominally priced product, so I would not say that it is a very cheap tool."
"I rate the product's pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"There is a license to use this solution."
