Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The analysis is very fast."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"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."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
