ANY.RUN Sandbox Reviews & Product Details

I find the brief reports from ANY.RUN Sandbox incredibly useful, as they eliminate the need for me to manually build reports on suspicious links. I really like how the platform provides an interactive session where I can see if any file is downloaded and even execute it to check for malicious content. This service checks if the executed file has any malicious content or payload that might affect my browser extension, which gives me a comprehensive view of any threats. Additionally, I appreciate the way it analyzes and shows redirections, allowing for complete URL analysis. The setup was easy due to the single sign-on feature, making it simple to get started.

The interactive session can be a bit glitchy, which can be frustrating at times. It can take a while to load when clicking on links or trying to enter information, which interrupts the workflow and could definitely be improved. Enhancements in these areas would make the tool more efficient and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that ANY.RUN Sandbox provides real-time information on processes, traffic, and other activities. A big advantage compared to other sandboxes is the interactive management, which many counterparts simply lack. The setup was easy, no problems arose, and the unique functionality of the product I have not encountered anywhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some malware does not run or detects the virtual machine in ANY.RUN Sandbox. For example, VMAware easily detects the sandbox, and it might be worth improving anti-detection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of use and the detailed reporting features of ANY.RUN Sandbox. It makes analyzing phishing emails straightforward, showing exactly what the malware or attempted account hijacking could have done. This helps me demonstrate to clients the risks they avoided by using it. The setup was very easy, too, which I appreciated. Overall, ANY.RUN Sandbox works as advertised and fits well with my needs.

I didnt really dislike anything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great performance and quick to boot up, it's great I can increase the duration to up to 5 minutes on a free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times it can feel a little laggy, though honestly it’s not really a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to see every piece of action done by the malware. From dropping file to injecting code each of them can be traced. Also not only the domain and ip it’s connecting but we can also see the payload it contains such a great experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limit of uploading max of 25mb file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We submit URLs and file samples as part of our phishing, malware, and spam research at the Cybercrime Information Center, where we study how criminals acquire resources for cybercrimes. Using ANY.RUN we can augment the metadata that we gather for millions of domain names and IP addresses that we use to (1) identify resources associated with an attack or campaign, (2) identify which domain registry (TLD) operators, domain registrars, or hosting providers are exploited by cybercriminals.

We haven't attempted to integrate the service into our analysis because of the sheer scale of our data sets and the potential cost or overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Safe, isolated software for running code without affecting any other applications, which is a major advantage of using this application. It has proper safety measures in place, so it can be used on other systems and operated safely for testing. It also lets me run experimental code without touching the main branch.

I’ve mainly used it for testing unknown executables and safely experimenting with code without adding any of that to the main development branch. The best part of this application is being able to communicate with the virtual machine while experimenting.

Before using the application, I couldn’t open certain sites without worrying about security and potentially affecting other applications through malware or virus attacks. By using it, I feel the operating system and applications are well protected, even when working with code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can behave differently than a production-based setup, for example when it’s running in a different environment or using a different database. Over time, maintaining isolated environments can also become complicated. Slow startup times and high RAM usage are drawbacks of the sandbox, and it may also limit access to certain systems.

During cybersecurity testing, I noticed that some malware samples or scripts detected they were running inside a sandbox and then limited their behavior, which made analysis harder. This limitation in real-world code has caused issues for me in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the safety it provides for my device. I can see what it’s doing, and it helps me understand how threats actually work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s not suited for confidential data, since the free version makes it publicly available. It also relies heavily on internet speed. I also don’t think it can detect advanced malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can use a browser to conduct and analyze malware in real time, which gives you the ability to click through prompts, open attachments, and monitor behavior that a more hands-off automated run might miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Convincing stakeholders across a diverse, cross-functional network to allocate budget for the service and the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s helpful for interacting with malware safely in real time. It also lets me force the malware to reveal its actual behavior. What I like most is the real-time interactivity—it helps me run and interact with files more safely in a virtual environment. Overall, it’s good for learning as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I dislike most is that the free version has limitations on certain features, so I can’t explore the platform in depth. Also, files uploaded in the free version may become publicly accessible, which could raise privacy concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
