Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"Fortigate is very scalable to serve our customers' needs. We have scaled already from fifty to more than a hundred instances of Fortinet FortiGate. Around 20 staff are required for deployment and maintenance, mostly engineers."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"We get support in the free version."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"The backup is the best feature."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"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."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"High availability features are lacking."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
