Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"FortiGate firewalls are user-friendly, and I like the security profiling features."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"The product is easy to implement."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"The solution is scalable."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"The security of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The hardware can be improved."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"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 common center facility that Untangle provides should be available on-premises. There are great corporations here in Mexico that like the Untangle solution, but they don't like the fact that the monitoring and access to the appliance are in the cloud. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
