Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The solution is stable."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"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."
"The Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"You have better control because you define apps. You just don't define ports. You define apps, and the apps are monitored in the traffic. It is more specific than the Cisco firewall when it comes to our needs."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"The initial setup is complex."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"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."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"Its customer service could be better."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"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."
