Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"Valuable features include the Web Application Firewall, and it even has DLP (data leak prevention)."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"We get support in the free version."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"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."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"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 technical support response needs improvement."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
