Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"Its stability is the most valuable."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"We have found it to be very reliable and that's why our teams and various users in our company use it as our main firewall every day."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"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."
"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 solution has plenty of features."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"There are a lot of bugs I have found in the solution and it is difficult to upgrade. These areas need improvement."
"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."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"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 product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
