Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and the UI. It has always provided me with what I needed. I have no need for additional costs that other solutions have, such as Sophos."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"The simplicity of the product is great. It's very easy to use, which is a compliment we get all the time in terms of feedback."
"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's very fast and easy to configure."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"The backup is the best feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"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."
"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."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"It needs more available central management."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"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."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
