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 initial setup of Fortinet was easy, more so than other products, and it has been very easy to work with Fortinet, especially compared to other solutions."
"I would recommend Fortinet FortiSandbox to others, it is the most comprehensive sandbox available."
"Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."

"Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs."
"If there is malicious traffic that is going through the web application, we can halt that action, instead of waiting for the AntiVirus to take action."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."

"The capabilities and features of this solution are not good."
