Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"Remote access is excellent."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
