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 puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster."
"The adapter is beneficial as it allows integration with various devices, not just Fortinet."
"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."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"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."
"The main area of concern in Fortinet FortiSandbox is its detection capabilities."
"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."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is not expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price is competitive."
"The solution is overly priced."
