Extremely Valuable Malware Metadata for Large-Scale Threat Research **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dave P. | Member of Board of Directors: APWG and APWG EU, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2026 **What do you like best about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** 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. **What do you dislike about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** 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. **What problems is ANY.RUN Sandbox solving and how is that benefiting you?** We collect millions of spam, malware, or phishing attack reports monthly. Some of our feeds do not provide sufficient metadata to investigate as thoroughly as we would like. The additional metadata that we get by submitting samples to ANY.RUN is extremely valuable and hard to obtain elsewhere. **Official Response from Thomas Harris:** > Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences!

Transforms Malware Analysis with Real-Time Visibility **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Syed Zaid A. | Information Security Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2025 **What do you like best about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** ANY.RUN has become one of the most valuable tools in my malware analysis workflow. The interactive sandbox is incredibly fast, intuitive, and gives me real-time visibility into process behavior, network traffic, file system actions, and registry modifications—all in one place. The fact that I can interact with the malware live (click buttons, enter text, browse folders) sets it apart from traditional static sandboxes. The preconfigured analysis environments save a lot of time, and the ability to pivot into deeper analysis—like unpacking, process tree visualization, and network IOCs—is extremely helpful. Their public submissions database is also a great resource when hunting emerging threats. What I Like Most: Real-time interactive analysis Beautiful and clear process tree visualization Rich metadata and automatic extraction of IOCs Easy to use even for junior analysts Great for SOC, DFIR, and malware research **What do you dislike about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** Would love to see even more OS/Browser versions in interactive mode Heavy samples sometimes take a bit longer to load—but still faster than many alternatives **What problems is ANY.RUN Sandbox solving and how is that benefiting you?** ANY.RUN solves one of the biggest challenges in malware analysis: quickly understanding real behavior without waiting for long automated sandbox runs or dealing with limited visibility. Traditional sandboxes often feel like a black box, but ANY.RUN gives me full interactive control, letting me trigger payloads, click through dialogs, and observe changes in real time. This helps me: Accelerate investigations by reducing analysis time from hours to minutes. Identify IOCs instantly through automatic extraction of network indicators, dropped files, registry changes, and process activity. Analyze evasive malware that normally requires user interaction or environment triggers. Improve SOC response times since I can quickly validate whether a suspicious file is malicious and send accurate findings to my team. Enhance training and research by allowing junior analysts to visually understand malware behavior with clear process trees and logs. Overall, ANY.RUN helps me make faster, more confident decisions during malware investigations and significantly boosts productivity in both SOC and research workflows. **Official Response from Thomas Harris:** > Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences!

Real-Time Interactive Analysis, with Areas for Improvement **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jose V. **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2026 **What do you like best about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** I use ANY.RUN Sandbox to review suspicious links and files related to phishing. I like it because the analysis is interactive and in real-time, which means I can see what's happening as it runs and not just wait for a final report. That helps me a lot to quickly understand if something is malicious. Additionally, the initial setup was quite simple, as registering and accessing the platform didn't take much time. **What do you dislike about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** Sometimes the free version falls a bit short, especially in analysis time or in some advanced features. They could extend the analysis time a bit. It would also help to have some advanced features enabled in a limited way, to better test them before moving to a paid plan. **What problems is ANY.RUN Sandbox solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use ANY.RUN Sandbox to check suspicious links and files without risk to my device and quickly determine if something is phishing or malware, thanks to its interactive and real-time analysis. **Official Response from Thomas Harris:** > Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences!

Streamlined Malicious URL and File Analysis **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Siddhalingesh B. | Information Security Analyst **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2026 **What do you like best about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** I really like the fact that ANY.RUN Sandbox generates a permanent report link after completing a run. This makes it easy for me to check reports later. I enjoy how the link opens a full interactive report, allowing an easy view of the process tree, network traffic, and IOCs. The ability to customize privacy settings is great. Public link option lets anyone view the analysis, while the private option restricts access to only me and my team. I like the ability to share the interactive report like a read-only, which is ideal for soft reviews and incident tickets. I appreciate the export feature that offers analysis results in multiple formats like HTML, JSON, and MSP, making it really easy for us to extract reports and share with our internal team. I find the initial setup very easy, just need to create a profile on the ANY.RUN website and it's ready for use. It's a breeze to use for my day-to-day operations. **What do you dislike about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** Sometimes, when uploading internal documents, there's no option to turn off the VirusTotal upload. This can be problematic because it involves internal, highly sensitive client data. Having the ability to disable the VirusTotal upload for sample analysis would be very helpful. **What problems is ANY.RUN Sandbox solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use ANY.RUN Sandbox to handle complex attachments and malicious URLs, which helps me a lot with sample analysis in my daily operations. **Official Response from Thomas Harris:** > Thank you for sharing your insights and experience with us!

ANY.RUN Sandbox Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joseph U. | Security Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2025 **What do you like best about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** The file and URL inspection capabilities are excellent. Being able to immediately interact with a potentially malicious file or URL right in the platform is very helpful, and the ability for the platform to provide immediate feedback of analysis helps us identify threats quicker and deploy mitigations faster. The ability to extract threat related IOCs and implement their detection in our environment helps us anticipate and block threats quicker, and provide greater insight into the exact malicious activities files and URLs perform so we can be better prepared to defend against them. **What do you dislike about ANY.RUN Sandbox?** Only downsides are the limitations imposed on the use of the free version of the platform. Limiting malicious file analysis to 90 seconds and malicious URL analysis to five minutes can hamper investigations depending upon how long it takes for webpages to load, or how long it takes for a file to execute. I do appreciate the ability to extend the analysis time for live file analysis, but this can only be performed a limited amount of times, and overall analysis of files and URLs is limited to a few times a day. **What problems is ANY.RUN Sandbox solving and how is that benefiting you?** ANY.RUN Sandbox helps us diagnose potentially malicious files and URLs that our end-users receive on a daily basis, and allows us to triage them and determine if those artifacts are indeed malicious or benign. Once we receive confirmation from analysis in the Sandbox that a file or URL is malicious, we can then use the threat indicators to confirm this and can extract IOCs from the artifact to ensure no further impact is felt from end users, and we can combine this information with our existing security tools to contain these threats as quickly as possible once analysis is completed. **Official Response from Thomas Harris:** > Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that our platform supports your threat detection and mitigation efforts. To overcome the limitations of the free version, we invite you to explore our paid plans, which offer extended analysis time and greater flexibility. Your insights are greatly appreciated and help us continue improving ANY.RUN to better serve your needs. ## ANY.RUN Sandbox Discussions - [What is Any.Run used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-any-run-used-for) - 1 comment ## ANY.RUN Sandbox Pricing - **ENTERPRISE**: Contact Us For teams and organizations - **HUNTER**: Contact Us For individuals [View full pricing details](https://www.g2.com/products/any-run-sandbox/pricing) ## ANY.RUN Sandbox Integrations - [Blink](https://www.g2.com/products/blink-ops-blink/reviews) - [D3 Security](https://www.g2.com/products/d3-security/reviews) - [FortiSOAR](https://www.g2.com/products/fortisoar/reviews) - [Google Chronicle Security Operations](https://www.g2.com/products/google-chronicle-security-operations/reviews) - [Logsign Unified SO Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/logsign-unified-so-platform/reviews) - [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint/reviews) - [Microsoft Sentinel](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-sentinel/reviews) - [OpenCTI by Filigran](https://www.g2.com/products/opencti-by-filigran/reviews) - [Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR](https://www.g2.com/products/palo-alto-networks-cortex-xsoar/reviews) - [Rapid7 Security Services](https://www.g2.com/products/rapid7-security-services/reviews) - [Splunk SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response)](https://www.g2.com/products/splunk-soar-security-orchestration-automation-and-response/reviews) - [Sumo Logic](https://www.g2.com/products/sumo-logic/reviews) - [Swimlane](https://www.g2.com/products/swimlane/reviews) - [ThreatConnect TI Ops](https://www.g2.com/products/threatconnect-ti-ops/reviews) - [ThreatQ](https://www.g2.com/products/threatq/reviews) - [Tines](https://www.g2.com/products/tines/reviews) - [Torq](https://www.g2.com/products/torq/reviews) ## ANY.RUN Sandbox Features **Detection** - Malware Detection **Analysis** - Malware Evaluation - Sandboxing - Threat Intelligence - File Analysis **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization ## Top ANY.RUN Sandbox Alternatives - [Intezer](https://www.g2.com/products/intezer-intezer/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (187 reviews) - [ESET PROTECT](https://www.g2.com/products/eset-protect/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (896 reviews) - [VirusTotal](https://www.g2.com/products/virustotal/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (33 reviews)
