Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The product offers very good security."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SD-WAN, filtering testing applications, web filtering, and the new VPN."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
