"The security on offer is very good."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"We can utilize our own network rather than paying for a private one."
"I think Sangfor NGAF is more valuable than Cisco products because of its simplicity and ease of management. If I compare it with Palo Alto and Cisco, both are quite complex products. And if I compare it with FortiGate firewalls from Fortinet, I have also used all these products. Fortinet and Sangfor NGAF are similar products because the applications behind the application and policy layers are almost identical."
"It is a stable solution."
"Sangfor has the best capabilities for securing connections, securing web browsers, securing servers, and general threat protection."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable."
"In four steps one can configure the entire firewall."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"The absolute best part of Sangfor NGAF is their support. It's a 24/7 support channel, and the last time I requested their assistance I got a reply within three minutes. They helped solve the problem immediately."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"The interface is very good."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"Its detection, antivirus, and filtering features are the most valuable. The facility to connect by using the VPN connection is also a very valuable feature. It is very strong, secure, and reliable. We have implemented the Untangle solution in all hardware. It is also a user-friendly solution. It is easy to learn and easy to configure."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"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."
"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."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"I believe that IAM and NGFW need to merge into a single box, instead of there being two separate box solutions."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"The reporting and log management could be improved."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"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 product must improve its reporting features."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The hardware can be improved."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"The common center facility that Untangle provides should be available on-premises. There are great corporations here in Mexico that like the Untangle solution, but they don't like the fact that the monitoring and access to the appliance are in the cloud. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The product should improve reporting."
