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."
"Customers want to load balance more than eight lines or six internet lines. FortiGate is the only solution that can accomplish this."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"The web filtering facility and application control are the most valuable features from the point of view of our clients. The VPN feature is also quite popular amongst our clients. Two-factor authentication is one of the good features in Fortinet. These features are important for the current scenario of security. Security has become a necessity nowadays. With cyber-attacks becoming more common, protecting an organization's data is one of the major tasks. It is also very stable and scalable, and it is very straightforward to configure. Their technical support is also good."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"The reports are very basic."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"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."
"The deployment model could be better."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
