Fortinet FortiSandbox Reviews

Every day, we connect to Fortinet Administrative Center and Sandbox to view emails. It's great for monitoring and reporting. 

The firmware is very good. 

I like the services and features on offer. 

Technical support is okay.

FortiGate is very easy in terms of configuration. The Web GUI is very simple and the Command Line is okay. The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward. 

The solution is stable.

You can scale the solution easily.

While support is okay, it can always be slightly improved. 

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 solution has all of the features we need. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The product is stable. FortiGate firmware and the Sandbox are stable. We do not have problems. Even when you update, it's very reliable. There are no bigs or glitches. 

It is a scalable product.

Support has been mostly helpful. 

I have a contact from Fortinet support and my contact is very nice. I use it three to five times a year and they've mostly;y been able to support me and answer my questions. 

We do pay for support and they do provide us with help and with patches, et cetera, to help with firmware and updates and any security items. 

I have used Stormshield in the past. That was a long time ago. We now only use Fortinet for security. Fortinet, in comparison, is easy to configure. Stormshield is also a smaller solution than Fortinet. It's technically more affordable, s Fortinet is more expensive, however, Fortinet is a bigger more technical option.

Setting it up and configuring it is very easy.

It's easy to configure from Sandbox as configuration from the policy is very easy. 

I don't have much information in terms of maintenance tasks and what might be needed to maintain the product. 

We have a one-year license for the product. You can renew it yearly.

I'm very satisfied with this product.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

We have 500 people in the organization. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's great, working from the cloud and the security is good. 

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiSandbox to troubleshoot different software.

Performance is a valuable feature.

The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for three months.

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. 

We have the support to set it up. It took a few months to deploy it. We integrate the solution and the support takes care of the solution after that. Almost three to four people are required for the maintenance.

It is an expensive solution. 

I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

We use Fortinet FortiSandbox for malware analysis, seamlessly integrating with various solutions such as FortiGate, FortiMail for Mail Security, FortiWeb, and other endpoints. FortiSandbox also supports ICAP integration with FortiWeb, enhancing its capabilities. These integrations can be configured within FortiSandbox, either internally or externally. Additionally, FortiSandbox offers integration with Exchange as an adapter.

The integration is easy with other Fortinet products like FortiMail. The technology of sandboxing FortiSandbox can cover it.

Fortinet FortiSandbox has the capability for manual analysis' Unlike its competitors, FortiSandbox offers functionalities such as banning, sniffing, and analyzing traffic in the network. It can connect as a bandwidth analyzer and provide analytics on the network traffic. It's not limited to just sandboxing; it can also operate at the endpoint, firewall, or gateway levels to submit files for analysis and monitor network traffic for analysts.

The solution must focus on API integration with other vendors.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox as an integrator since 2017.

The solution is stable on dedicated appliances like virtual machines. It also depends on the capabilities of the host system, including CPU and RAM.

The solution is scalable. You can configure up to one hundred nodes as workers. Additionally, you can include up to ninety-eight worker nodes in other models, allowing them to function as a cluster.

It has a defense line from zero-day attacks and sophisticated attacks. You will need an EDR solution and the endpoint.

Six persons are using this solution.

Customer support is friendly and has a good team.

A network security engineer can deploy the solution. The organization's IT department manages administration, including application and network security. Multiple administrators may use FortiSandbox, each with their front-end interface for managing it.

The solution provide zero-day attacks which benefitted a lot.

If the customer's operating system is supported, there's no need for a custom package. It's straightforward. If a custom operating system is required, it will take longer due to the need for package customization.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiSandbox to integrate FortiMail and FortiGate firewalls.

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.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex in uploading the custom VM. Fortinet FortiSandbox needs to improve the customization and the custom framework updates.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately two years.

Fortinet FortiSandbox stability could improve.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is scalable.

We have approximately 300 users using this solution. We plan to increase usage of Fortinet FortiSandbox. We are moving to the next version soon.

The technical support of Fortinet FortiSandbox is good.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is easy, it took us a few days to do.

We used a third party to do the implementation of Fortinet FortiSandbox.

We have three engineers that are looking after the maintenance and are supporting the solution.

The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive.

Fortinet FortiSandbox is a leader in the market and they have good solutions.

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a seven out of ten.

We use this solution to stay updated on the latest vulnerabilities and attacks. It acts as a database for Fortinet customers to keep their equipment safe and secure.

In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. 

I have a little experience with this solution. We recently purchased new equipment to upgrade from the old range to the new range. 

We previously used FortiGate 100D and upgraded to FortiGate 100S now. 

It is a stable solution.  

FortiSandbox is scalable. We have more than 1200 users across branch offices and headquarters.

Whenever we reach out to Fortinet, they give a response in time. Till now, we have had positive interactions.

We connect with FortiGate through qualified vendors, especially regarding SLA and responsiveness.

I have experience with other solutions like Sophos and CheckPoint. 

We have an IT department managing the solution. There are around 30 people in the team. 

FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud.

We purchased the bundle. So, we got one price for the package. It was a unified package. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Fortinet FortiSandbox is used for threat protection. For example, in emails and the internet.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides.

Fortinet FortiSandbox can improve by decreasing the time of analysis response. Other solutions have a better response time, such as WildFire.

I have been using Fortinet FortiSandbox for approximately one year.

I rate the stability of Fortinet FortiSandbox a four out of five.

I rate the scalability of Fortinet FortiSandbox a four out of five.

I rate the support of Fortinet FortiSandbox a four out of five.

Positive

I rate Fortinet FortiSandbox a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is to view the texts from our clients to their lawyers. We look for unknown malware and then I also use FortiFabric for integration. 

I like the integration between FortiSandbox and FortiClient with FortiGate.

It would be awesome if it can be integrated with other solutions. I would like to add one more feature because there are some tricks to deploy integration for all sorts in a product. I had that problem because when I had FortiSandbox, FortiLink, FortiClient, FortiManager, FortiLicense, there was one license for the integration, and the other license was called IOP or FortiAnalyzer. I would like to have one bundle or one license for each device. There should be one orchestrator for the integration because until now there have been two devices, which are the orchestrators for the integration. So most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product.

The solution is very stable and I've never had any issues with stability.

I believe the solution is scalable.

The technical support is very good.

Setup and installation is very easy with the Fortinet Portal. If I remember correctly, the deployment took about a week.

There are additional costs that aren't included in the licensing fee.

I will definitely recommend this solution to others. On a scale of one to ten, my rating will be an eight. In the next version I would love to see more integration and more products from other vendors.

The primary use case of this solution is for using FortiSandbox.

The deployment model we are using is on-premises.

The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response.

FortiSandbox could be improved. Fortinet took some time to include this feature and new technologies.

They have to develop it more, because of the codes, the variables in the number of virtual environments and the number of virtual rules.

They only provide eight or sometimes a maximum of fourteen virtual environments and the competitors are offering two hundred environments, so the number of environments offered it too small and needs to increase. Currently, this is one of the weakest capabilities with FortiSandbox.

The integration has no enforcements, you cannot apply any action, you have to integrate it with Fortinet. For example, if a customer wants to have FortiSandbox, he has to purchase the entire Fortinet profile. This is not an advantage for Fortinet, compared to others that can be integrated easily with any technology and with any vendor. Fortinet will only integrate with itself.

They are not leading in endpoints for FortiSandbox.

The capabilities and features of this solution are not good. They have to enhance and develop the product to compete.

In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.

This solution is stable. I have not had any issues with stability. It's fine.

We face some challenges with Fortinet. Each time we use the technical support, we run into the same problem. We open a ticket and we have to wait until is it escalated to a tier-two or a tier-three level before anyone will address your specific issues. You will never get help on the first level, and it is always directed to another level.

There seems to be a lack of coordinators.

It is possible that on our end we contact them for issues that are on a larger scale, or new issues, never on a basic level. However, it still takes time to get the issue resolved. 

The installation is easy and straightforward.

Other companies, the competitors of Fortinet, offer this and in this area, they are better.

We are Platinum level partners, and I am a consultant.

My advice would be to check the web reviews and you will find that Sandbox and FortiClient are not the best.

If you check Gartner, you will see that McAfee and Microsoft are better.

The setup and installation are easy and straightforward.

If you a Symantec endpoint then it's easy and straightforward.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
