Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and the UI. It has always provided me with what I needed. I have no need for additional costs that other solutions have, such as Sophos."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"The technical support is great."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"It is user friendly, and has all the features you need."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful."
"The scalability could be better."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
