Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"It can expand easily."
"The performance is good."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The analysis is very fast."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"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."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
