Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"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."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"Its customer service could be better."
"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."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
