Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"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 this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Its customer service could be better."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"There aren't really any negative aspects to discuss."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"FortiGate should have a better way of detecting and managing the system memory because otherwise if the memory is too low, a system restart is required."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The cost of the solution is excessively high."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
