Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The product offers very good security."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"It is easy to use and performs very well."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
