Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"It is a safe product."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"It can expand easily."
"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."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The analysis is very fast."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"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."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"I could not configure sFlow from the FortiGate graphical user interface. I realized that the sFlow configuration is available only from the CLI, and discovered that sFlow is not supported on virtual interfaces, such as VDOM links, IPsec, or GRE."
"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."
"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."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
