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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"The technical support is very good."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
 

Cons

"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"The main area of concern in Fortinet FortiSandbox is its detection capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"It would be better if we could integrate FortiSandbox with endpoint security solutions."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
