Ran the SonicWall Cloud Sandbox through a standard test suite. The verdict: performance is subpar.
* **Detection latency was high.** Submitted a known malicious EICAR test file. Took over 90 seconds for a verdict. In a live scenario, that's too slow.
* **Output is generic.** The analysis report lacked detail. Just "malicious" with no actionable IOCs or behavior trace. Compare that to a Cuckoo sandbox report—no contest.
* **Integration feels clunky.** API for automated submission is slow. Example curl request and response time:
```bash
curl -X POST https://api.sonicwall.com/sandbox/submit -H "Authorization: Bearer " -F "file=@malware.zip"
# Response received after 87 seconds. Status: "malicious".
```
For a paid enterprise product, expected faster analysis and richer forensic data. Sticking with a hybrid local/cloud setup for now.
