Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"The backup is the best feature."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"Stability is never a concern."
"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."
"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."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"They've become quite expensive."
"While FortiGate is cheaper than most other solutions, we're seeing increased license renewal costs. Most of our clients are asking for more significant discounts because the price is going up."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"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 product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
