   Windows Sandbox vs Sandboxie Plus Comments

   Positive comment by Chaanakya · Nov 19, 2019

   Sandboxie - once a great program is now extremely buggy in the latest Windows 10. Windows Sandbox while it is a light VM just works out of the box and is meant to be used as a Sandbox.

   Negative comment by Soul Rain · Jan 4, 2020

   Windows Sandbox has way more requirements that make it unviable for a lot of users. From the official site: "Prerequisites for using the feature Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise Insider build 18305 or later AMD64 architecture Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS At least 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended) At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)"

   you are not able to use you own original windows apps and software. Totally useless, one of those Microsoft control freak software.

   Negative comment by Guest · Jan 27, 2020

   Costs $21.65 EACH year... which is WAY too much. And Sandboxie has countless positive reviews, which Shade lacks.

   Negative comment by Guest · May 22, 2019

   You can't run multiple programs at once.

   Positive comment by Guest · Apr 19, 2018

   It has best performance(cpu consumption) than Sandboxie but, the high security seems to be the best characteristic.

   Shadow Defender vs Sandboxie Plus Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Dec 14, 2024

   it is the first alternative in this list to sandboxie. because all others are either for Linux only or closed source. so the first VALUABLE or WORTHY alternative to sandboxie in my personal opinion is is this program. although sandboxie runs within user-space whereas Shadow Defender runs kernel-level. THX.

    It is not for the common user for protection. As stated on their website, "BUFFERZONE is available to Enterprise companies only.". You must request a demo first.

    Does not create a isolated environment - essentially just an AV
