Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SD-WAN, filtering testing applications, web filtering, and the new VPN."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"The ease of setting the solution up is a valuable aspect for us."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The UTM platform has been the most valuable."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The solution is very robust."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature for us was to implement negligent functionality, to direct functionality to viewer control and application control so we could disconnect, and at the same time, we installed checkpoints. We disconnected our proxy."
"The filtering was very good."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"I believe it's the advanced security software that offers SMPP protection for the agent."
"All in one UTM appliance."
"The VPN is excellent on the solution."
"It is very easy to use."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The tool is stable."
"The solution's web filtering is an important feature for us in our company."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"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."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"The solution could be improved if there was a better way to report. The reporting functionality is not really good. Even though it's not the major function. Maybe adding a way to make a custom report."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"The interface needs improvement."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"Maybe network traffic analysis for malware and malicious behavior."
"The VPN needs to be improved."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"The reporting part could be more user-friendly for troubleshooting and identifying network issues. It should be more easy for a normal user to identify the problem in their network."
"In my experience the solution can be easier to configure with more documentation, we need more training."
"It should have a better VPN client. We decided to find something different than Cyberoam because of the VPN client software. It would be nice to have a user interface not only in English but also in different languages."
"I would like to see improvements in the development of reports. The process needs to be made simple."
