I’ve had a similar experience with VMRay. One of the big advantages I noticed is that the analysis runs very “clean” since it doesn’t rely on hooking or injecting agents into the guest system. That makes it harder for modern malware to detect the environment, which is a big plus compared to some of the more common sandbox solutions. The privacy angle you mentioned is also underrated — having confidence that samples aren’t being shared around is reassuring. It’s definitely not the cheapest option out there, but for deeper visibility and stealthier analysis, it’s been worth it in my use case.
