Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"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."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"Remote access is excellent."
"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."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"From a reporting perspective, there's room for improvement. They're providing FortiAnalyzer through which one can get some enhancements, but the visibility and reporting still need slight improvement."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"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."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
