Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"We have found it to be very reliable and that's why our teams and various users in our company use it as our main firewall every day."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The analysis is very fast."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"They've become quite expensive."
"I could not configure sFlow from the FortiGate graphical user interface. I realized that the sFlow configuration is available only from the CLI, and discovered that sFlow is not supported on virtual interfaces, such as VDOM links, IPsec, or GRE."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"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."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"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 solution can improve its traffic management."
