Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"The interface is very good."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The solution is stable."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The analysis is very fast."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"Remote access is excellent."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"Lacks training for new features."
"The security of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"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."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"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."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
