Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The interface is very good."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities. In the newer releases, the resources were more useful because they were included in the operating system."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"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."
"The price versus value is good because the solution is less expensive than Sophos, Fortinet, or SonicWall."
"The product is very fast and reliable."
"In four steps one can configure the entire firewall."
"Particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect inbound and outbound traffic."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable."
"SSL VPN is the best feature."
"Sangfor NGAF works accordingly with our customers. The solution has good performance, easy to use, and integrates well with the endpoints."
"The stability of Sangfor NGAF is good."
"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."
"The interface is very good."
"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 Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"The product is easy to implement."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"FortiGate support could do some improvements on their IPv6 configuration. Right now it's still in the very early stage for utilizing in an enterprise level network environment."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"Sangfor need greater exposer in the market because the market is mainly saturated by Fortinet. The user experience of Fortinet is quite different compared to NGAF. If we want to switch our users from Fortinet to NGAF, we have to convince them that the user experience will be much easier once once they start to use it."
"The setup phase is quite complex."
"The reporting and log management could be improved."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"It does not offer any recommendations on how to mitigate or control attacks."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"Sangfor NGAF could improve by refining its application control policies, especially in addressing challenges with certain types of applications."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"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."
