Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The technical support is good."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"High availability features are lacking."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
