Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The backup is the best feature."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The analysis is very fast."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The technical support is good."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"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."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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."
"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."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"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."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
