"It has improved our organization with control data."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"Sangfor is a good solution that provides a WAF and firewall solution. Most other vendors, like Sophos and Fortinet and Cisco, only provide one solution. That's a valuable feature of Sangfor."
"It offers application control features."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"So far, the performance and reliability of the product have supported our company's critical network traffic."
"Sangfor NGAF works accordingly with our customers. The solution has good performance, easy to use, and integrates well with the endpoints."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Sangfor NGAF's standout feature is its powerful application control, enabling precise restrictions on mobile user access to approved applications."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."
"Backup can be improved."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"It can be a little bit more user-friendly in terms of policy definition and implementation. It seems a little bit complicated, and it could be simplified."
"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."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use."
"It does not offer any recommendations on how to mitigate or control attacks."
"The tool is expensive."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"The setup phase is quite complex."
"There is room for improvement in dependency on certain infrastructure, like the DNS dependency on the current DNS server that the company has. It should be standalone. It should not depend on any other DNS server."
"The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation."
"The support offered by the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The knowledge levels and response time of the support team need improvement."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"We have a minor issue when assigning IP addresses in the ARP tables. You should be able to go into the ARP tables, look at the IP address and say, "Nope, they need to be on this side on this IP address." The ability to set a DHP reservation from the ARP tables would be great. It's no big deal, but it would be nice to have."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
