We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You have access to a report as to what behaviors the example file entered in the registry.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well.""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.""The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet.""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.""Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions.""The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are the analysis options, artificial intelligence, and the many interfaces it provides."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Pros →

"It is stable and reliable.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""It is very scalable.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."

Cons
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product.""For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine.""In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included.""I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords.""Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure.""The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier.""It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux.""In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox Cons →

"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
