Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The usage in general is pretty good."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"The product offers very good security."
"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Stability is never a concern."
"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 catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"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."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"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."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
