Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"It can expand easily."
"The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The backup is the best feature."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"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."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The deployment model could be better."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"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."
