Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's very easy to configure."
"The most useful functionality of Fortinet FortiGate is the user interface, multiple engines, and their cloud with the latest integrations. Additionally, the Security Fabric tool is very good."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"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."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"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."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"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."
"High availability features are lacking."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
