Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"The Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"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 notable features that I have found most valuable are that it includes the antivirus, and also IPS, and even SD-WAN."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"The VPN is great."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"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."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is very simple, easy to use, and flexible."
"The blocking, based on the signal provided, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"When our customer needs some optimization, along with performance and security. If they want everything in one package, I recommend Forcepoint because they have everything."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution can scale."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The product is worth the investment."
"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'd like more management across other integrations."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"It would be a benefit if Fortinet would release a one-stop solution that is better integrated with other products and an automated emergency response system."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"While they offer a comprehensive bundled solution, some users may prefer on-premise deployments for certain features, such as URL filtering."
"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."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"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 ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"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 Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
