Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are it is one of the most mature firewalls in the UTM bundle."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"The CLI is robust and powerful, enabling rapid, consistent changes via SSH."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"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."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The analysis is very fast."
"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."
"It needs more available central management."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"The way everything is set up could be easier. Currently, people need a lot of experience and knowledge to administer it and to link it to devices."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"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."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
