Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"One of the nice things about FortiGate is that it can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises. You can actually do both. That's the biggest reason why I stick with this solution as opposed to something like Cisco Meraki. Another nice thing is that I can log directly into a FortiGate or get to it through their FortiCloud access products. They're pretty reliable and consistent. One of the reasons why I started using the product was their single pane of management. I can deploy their line of firewalls in conjunction with their switching and access points, and I can manage the entire network from one interface. I don't have to log into one interface for the firewall, another one for the access points, and another one for the switches. These firewalls have access point controller functionality built right into the system, so I don't even have to purchase additional devices to manage them."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"The product offers very good security."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"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."
"I like the Firewall and the IPS."
"One of the most valuable features is having the ability to cluster multiple firewalls even if they are different versions."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We find the product to be stable and reliable in terms of performance."
"The feature that we like the most about Forcepoint is that we know the technology and have confidence in it. We can have several functionalities to simplify operations and management. We can combine functionalities like log ownership to review the number of devices in the infrastructure."
"The product is very easy to install."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"Its price could be better."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Its management center should be easier to use. The management interface of Forcepoint is unique and a little bit different from some of the firewall solutions on which people might have worked before. Sometimes, the customers say that it is not very friendly, and we help them with how to use this management interface. It just takes a little bit of time, and after some time, it gets easy to manage or use. It is quite similar to Palo Alto, Fortinet, and legacy Juniper solutions. Their support should be faster. We have received complaints that they are not responding fast, which is not good for the vendor and us."
"The security features need to be improved."
"The network interface could be better, and it could be cheaper."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"While they offer a comprehensive bundled solution, some users may prefer on-premise deployments for certain features, such as URL filtering."
"We feel the product's technical support could be better, as this relates to the solution itself, to the installation of the product, and to having a proper understanding of the case."
"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."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"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."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
