Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable. It is a resilient appliance. I never had an issue with it in terms of any security breaches."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"We get support in the free version."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The price could be better."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
