Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The solution is stable."
"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"FortiGate firewalls are user-friendly, and I like the security profiling features."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"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."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"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."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"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 VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"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."
"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 only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"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."
