Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"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."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved."
"It would be a benefit if Fortinet would release a one-stop solution that is better integrated with other products and an automated emergency response system."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"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."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
