Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The interface is very good."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate's antispam filter, SPN, and clustering features."
"Good load balancing feature."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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 graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"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 automation and responsiveness 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."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
