Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The interface is very good."
"I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"The solution is stable."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The main benefit of the Check Point Virtual Systems solution is its ability to split up the hardware appliances that we have into several logical, virtual devices with separate traffic handling policies, as well as the switching and routing."
"I find it really useful that CloudGuard supports all the main players on the Public Clouds market including AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as some exotic ones like Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud."
"The tool's most valuable features are IPS and blades. These features are valuable for security."
"Any kind of cloud environment anywhere can be protected through this effortlessly."
"It's a high-performance device. The network performance is also really good. We check how much time it takes for the servers. Our network performance has increased since using this solution."
"It really is a pretty complete solution."
"The most valuable feature is threat prevention."
"We have unified management. It is one of the advantages of this product."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The graphical user interface of Fortinet's FortiGate product does not function well with text-based interfaces."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"A threat categorization system can be added to give users the authority to define vulnerable attacks and classify areas that can threaten the workflow system."
"The product needs to offer multi-tenancy."
"CheckPoint CloudGuard could be better at solving cases."
"The solution lacks the capability to scale effectively."
"The solution's integration with cloud providers has seen significant development in the past months, but there is room for improvement for better integration."
"With the incorporation of a lot of AI and machine learning, they can build some sort of a matrix for low-level threats or low-level things that require attention. There can be automation of those tasks so that we don't have to take more time and effort. There should be machine learning to eliminate level-one types of tasks."
"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."
"In future releases, I would like to see the data loss prevention (DLP) feature could scale along with the virtual machine scale sets."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
