Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"The GUI is good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"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."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"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."
