Mohamed Fouad - PeerSpot reviewer

Decoy deployments have boosted SOC maturity and provide early insight into targeted attacks
Usability is one of the best features that Fortinet FortiDeceptor offers. The interface is easy to use and you can deploy decoys quickly, and the GUI is excellent for getting logs and is usable for any type of administrator. Fortinet FortiDeceptor has positively impacted my organization by increasing our SOC maturity, providing us with great insight into attacker techniques, and helping us quickly identify targeted attacks against us. I have measured the increase in SOC maturity by noticing reduced successful attacks. We have learned about attacks before launching them against our real servers by using decoys to gain insight into these attacks, allowing us to stop them.

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.
