Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The CLI is robust and powerful, enabling rapid, consistent changes via SSH."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The deployment model could be better."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
