Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The next-generation firewall is great."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"It is very flexible to use."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"We get support in the free version."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"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 central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"Monitoring and reporting could be better."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"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 product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The deployment model could be better."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
