Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"It is quite easy to handle."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The backup is the best feature."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
