"Best for automating malware detection and analyze files with malicious content"
4/5
What do you like best about Cuckoo Sandbox?

I loved their simple, easy-to-understand user interface that makes my onboarding easy. Shallow learning is needed to use this tool as it consists of familiar features that can be found in any antivirus software.

Secondly, it's open-source software that's automated and can be installed easily. I can even sync it with my android phone and get updates automatically on my dashboard on windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cuckoo Sandbox?

One thing that bothered me first was their support or helpdesk which is also automated bots and I couldn't find their real support team helping me when I need some severe issues. Sometimes their web API stucks in between and hangs the entire system which makes frustrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
