Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"The most important features with FortiGate are the web filter and application controls. We can control our internet usage and use the web filter for application purposes."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"We have found it to be very reliable and that's why our teams and various users in our company use it as our main firewall every day."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"The solution can scale."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"We wanted to cross-reference that activity with the network traffic just to be sure there was no lateral movement. With Trellix, we easily confirmed that there was no lateral network involvement and that nothing else was infected. It helped us correlate the events and feel confident in our containment."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"Its price could be better."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"It is not a very secure product."
"It is an expensive solution."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
