We performed a comparison between Check Point NGFW and Huawei NGFW based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"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."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"Log storage gives us insights when required."
"The Anti-Spoofing has the ability to monitor the interfaces. Suppose any spoofed IP addresses are coming from an external interface, it won't allow them. It will drop that traffic. You have two options with the Anti-Spoofing: prevent or detect. If any kind of spoof traffic is coming through the external interface, we can prevent that."
"The packet inspection capabilities are great."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Its simplified management, enhanced remote support capabilities, and the ability to facilitate secure VPN connectivity for numerous offices and employees are highly beneficial."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I love the interface of R.80.30. The R.80 interface is very nicely thought out with everything in one place, which makes Check Point easier to use."
"The threat emulation blade and user identity awareness feature has helped us a lot in terms of perimeter security and have given us granular visibility of user access."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"Compliance and centralized management can be improved."
"It should allow more than two internet providers in its configuration of "ISP Redundancy"."
"This product has room for improvement in technical support for Africa."
"I would like there to be a way to run packets that capture more easily in the GUI environment. Right now, if we want to read packet captures, we have to do so from the command line."
"We looked very closely at ArcSight's solution because it's a multi-vendor solution. With ArcSight we could have Check Point, we could have RSA, we could have any brand and integrate several brands, from a security point of view. With Check Point, you cannot do so, you can integrate with Check Point products."
"The current model is predominantly hardware appliance-based, which can incur substantial costs"
"Check Point's support, at all levels, needs a complete overhaul."
"The speed of technical support is very slow and is something that should be improved."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
