Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The solution is very, very easy to use."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The most valuable feature of the GajShield Next Generation Firewall is the user-friendly settings, dashboards, and anti-threat protection. Additionally, the solution upgrades frequently which is good because we receive new features."
"GajShield has improved our mobile device-based connectivity."
"Gajshiled's enterprise cloud and DLP-level features give it an advantage over other products."
"It is an easily scalable solution...The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution's outcome is very high, and we often use it in a very high-traffic environment."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall's best feature is the network DLP."
"It is a stable solution."
"We utilize advanced threat prevention features like web filtering and SSL decryption, which haven't caused any issues."
"They are regularly releasing new versions that include more integration with third-party services."
"The configuration is quite simple to understand."
"The performance of Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls is the most valuable feature."
"I like that it has high security."
"Protection from a single packet and ease of making security rules."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls' IPS is more complete and is very good. This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to install, and it provides the best protection."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls saves us time."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"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."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"Application management can be improved."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"From a documentation standpoint, there is room for improvement. Even Palo Alto says that their documentation is terrible."
"There is a tradeoff between security and network performance, as security is always top-notch, but performance can sometimes lag and has room for improvement."
"If you enable SSL you will face a problem. The throughput of the firewall will be degraded. SSL is a big issue on all firewalls. All products suffer from issues with SSL, but Palo Alto firewalls suffer more from it."
"The whole performance takes a long time. It takes a long time to configure."
"Need improvement with their logs, especially the command line interface."
"Its price can be better. They should also provide some more examples of configurations online."
"Maybe they could add some tools and more competing services, like servers, but that would increase the cost of the solution."
"I'm thinking about a new feature. They have decryption. It's a good idea to use decryption on Palo Alto. It would be good if they had offloading of the traffic, and if they could decrypt the traffic and offload it. Like, for example, ASM on our site. We have an SSL decryption to offload the traffic. We could use that on Palo Alto."
