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 Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"It has been stable so far."
"The only firewall able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. Can detect unauthorized devices plugged into the network, which standard firewalls can't do."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"It is a part of the infrastructure when we're selling Juniper. That's what clients are familiar with and that's what they rely on."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"I have used technical support quite a bit, and they are really good."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"The GUI is simple to use."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The security features and the model collection are the most valuable."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"Another loophole with Hillstone T-Series is that when we connect through WiFi and turn our hot spot on, all who connect through the hotspot get all the functions, and the security does not work."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"The product only has basic features."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"It needs better interoperability with Cisco gear."
