Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It performs very well."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"It is quite easy to handle."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"The support is great. They also have very good categorization. It's very good. It captures a lot of threats."
"The VPN is great."
"The most valuable feature is the console management."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"Great monitoring feature."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"It needs more available central management."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"A VPN client feature is missing in our region, which we hope Forcepoint will address in future updates."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"They need to improve their alerts."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
