Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."This product is definitely scalable."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"It's very easy to configure."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"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."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"The way everything is set up could be easier. Currently, people need a lot of experience and knowledge to administer it and to link it to devices."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"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."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
