Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I like how we can achieve total integration."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"Our security improved from being able to put in rules and close off unwanted traffic."
"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"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."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"It needs more available central management."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"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 cost of the solution is excessively high."
