Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The performance is good."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"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."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
