Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The payment function for applications is good."
"The solution is stable."
"It performs very well."
"Fortinet FortiGate protects against internet-based threats, both internal and external. It is scalable, stable, easy to use, and easy to install."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The UTM platform has been the most valuable."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The solution is very robust."
"Firewalls help us a lot in controlling traffic on our network and preventing unauthorized access."
"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 most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"We mostly use the Layer 4 firewall functions: Access rules, NAT, and site-to-site IPsec VPN."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"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."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"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."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"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."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
"Sometimes committing configurations takes a lot of time in Juniper because of the connections, and it could be a little bit faster."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
