Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"The inspection and web security features are most valuable."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"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."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"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."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"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."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
