Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The performance is good."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"We get support in the free version."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"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."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
