Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's an easy solution to set up."
"The solution is stable."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"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."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"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."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The analysis is very fast."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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 updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"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."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
