Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"It's inexpensive compared to some of the other technology out there."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"Firewalls help us a lot in controlling traffic on our network and preventing unauthorized access."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"The solution is very robust."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"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 solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"Juniper is a highly flexible platform, and you get more bang for your buck compared to a Cisco product."
"On a scale from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being the best I'd give Juniper SRX an overall rating of eight because of its' competitive price."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The rollback option and Commit Confirmed are great features. They give us the security to change configurations without downtime."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"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."
"The interface needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The Juniper product has to improve in terms of innovation."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"Both the web management and the graphical user interface are inadequate and should be improved."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"The solution's configurations and syntax are specific and more complicated than other platforms."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
