Automated and manual threat analysis provides deep insights for potential threat remediation

The most valuable features of Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer include manual and auto-submission. The sandbox analyzer provides a combination of technologies including machine learning-based technologies. Network analytics is performed, and the tool analyzes using threat feeds. Manual and automated submissions allow suspicious files or URLs to be analyzed thoroughly, providing deep insights for further investigation. This information is crucial for making informed decisions on remediating potential threats.

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. We have minimum false positives during threat detection. Our clients have not given negative feedback from detection. As you know, it still needs some tuning after implementation. However, we never receive negative feedback for many false positives during implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is useful in the event of a gray file or grayware, as there are certain files users may download of which we know little about."

"Sandbox Analyzer is easy to use. It's simple to drill down into the data. In a lot of the competing products, an extremely informed end-user can do battle with the tools provided, but in today's market, end-users have less and less time to try and keep up. The CSAW alerts come out every day, and they're huge. Adobe did a master patch last Thursday and another one a few days later."

"I like the fact that it works pretty well. It can be a little aggressive at times, but I'd rather have it be a little bit aggressive than not catch what it's supposed to catch. We've been running that platform for about five years, and we've not really had any viruses or malware get through. It's also easy to set up, and it's easy to manage."

"It is easy to use, and there is a lot of automation. So, users don't need to worry about that."

"Bitdefender has shown fantastic stability over the past eight years with no major incidents reported."

"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."

"The adapter is beneficial as it allows integration with various devices, not just Fortinet."

"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 most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well."

"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"

"Performance is a valuable feature."

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

More Fortinet FortiSandbox pros

Cons

"We would like to see the time it takes for the sandbox to analyze a file reduced from its ten or fifteen minute duration to five."

"It should be more secure. There should be more protection, especially for non-signature-based malware. It works fine for non-signature-based malware, but I expect it to become a bit more advanced to be able to cope with future or upcoming environments."

"We propose the on-premises solution to most of our customers, for which we must provide a license, although no such request accompanies customers who want a cloud-based solution."

"One area that needs improvement in Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer is the addition of an asset management feature."

"It does everything we need. We haven't been able to throw anything at it that it couldn't handle."

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. The whole suite, unlike most anti-virus consoles that just ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do that. The most you could do is get an hourly email, or maybe if there's an outbreak that affects 30% of our machines, it sends me an email. There's no real-time alert to say, "Hey, so-and-so literally 30 seconds ago just had this happen on their machine." Real-time reporting would be a huge improvement. All in all, it's a pretty nice product, generally speaking. They do a pretty good job. They can pretty much go toe to toe with just about anybody. But it's that kind of real-time nature. I've not had occasion to use the EDR portion to actually try and do any kind of custom scripting to drill into things that are going on at the endpoints. But my understanding from reading comments of others is that it's not particularly flexible in that regard to be able to do things like that."

"There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment."

"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."

"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex. You cannot only deploy Fortinet FortiSandbox without deploying the stack of Fortinet solutions. The implementation and integration are challenging tasks with the device and placement in the network. We needed to do POC and offloading testing."

"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."

"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."

"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."

"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need a license to a certain extent. You need to pay for advanced features. For corporate accounts, it isn't is really a problem, but pricing is an important thing for many companies."

"I think it's probably less expensive than something like CrowdStrike. We got a really good deal because it was literally their year-end, and they were trying to close all the sales for the week. So we bought a three-year contract from them. It roughly ended up costing me somewhere around $17 for an endpoint per year. It was really quite a nice pricing. I've talked to other folks where they got CrowdStrike, and it's like $60 for an endpoint for a year. It does, and they can be pretty aggressive if you're dealing with them directly, and I have. So no complaints there."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive."

"The price is competitive."

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"There is a license to use this solution."

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox is a nominally priced product, so I would not say that it is a very cheap tool."
