Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"It is a safe product."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"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."
"Firewalls help us a lot in controlling traffic on our network and preventing unauthorized access."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The solution is very robust."
"When compared to Palo Alto, Juniper is a better choice when it comes to the enterprise network and connectivity."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"The GUI is simple to use."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"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."
"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."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall has to improve its web content site, like web filtration."
"It's a good stable firewall, but it's nowhere near what it needs to be for a next-generation type firewall."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
