We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall and Trend Micro Deep Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is stable and scalable. In addition, their support is great. When you ask them for something, they provide support, and if required, they also involve the R&D team to help you to resolve the issues in your configuration."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"We find the product to be stable and reliable in terms of performance."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the traffic and the logging. They have real-time logins for traffic logs. Troubleshooting was very easy for me."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"While they offer a comprehensive bundled solution, some users may prefer on-premise deployments for certain features, such as URL filtering."
"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."
"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"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."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"The solution could be more secure."
