Advanced sandboxing has protected users from zero-day threats and has simplified secure file scanning
The smooth integrations between Fortinet FortiSandbox and other Fortinet solutions such as FortiWeb and FortiFirewall and with other Fortinet environments are what I really appreciate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution works very well for us."
"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 scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"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."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
"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."
"If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"The capabilities and features of this solution are not good."
"If they plan to provide a feature that would make it easier for the customer to configure themselves, that would be appropriate."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."
"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive."
"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."
"The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case."
"FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud."
