Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"It is easy to use and performs very well."
"Our security improved from being able to put in rules and close off unwanted traffic."
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It is a scalable product. I know a customer who has deployed more than 4,000 firewalls in a single deployment."
"The support is great. They also have very good categorization. It's very good. It captures a lot of threats."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"The VPN is great."
"The product is worth the investment."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"Its price could be better."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"If I want to allow access to Facebook, yet not allow the user to access videos, then I am not able to do it with this product."
"They need to improve their alerts."
"The security features need to be improved."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"They should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."
"A VPN client feature is missing in our region, which we hope Forcepoint will address in future updates."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The management component could be simplified."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
