We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Firewall and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The interface is very good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"The user interface (UI) is very, very good."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The most valuable feature must be AnyConnect. We have quite a few customers who use it. It is easy to use and the stablest thing that we have. We have experienced some issues on all our VPN clients, but AnyConnect has been the stablest one."
"This solution made our organization more secure and gave us better control."
"Its ability to discover attacks is a valuable feature. All of the other features that have to do with security are good."
"It's protecting the organization against the impact of cyber threats and cybersecurity. We run manufacturing plants that have hazardous material, and we don't want that manufacturing process to be impacted by break-in exposure, cyber threats, or any other similar thing."
"At this point, we find that this product has high productivity and high availability and there is no need for improvement."
"AnyConnect has been very helpful, along with the ability to use LDAP for authentication."
"We are using the Cisco AnyConnect for our end-user VPN with the ASA."
"The greatest benefit for the organization is the confidence that we are secured."
"The solution can scale."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"The server appliance is good."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three."
"Backup can be improved."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"Also, they have a Firepower source file that I can work on the ASA device and on Firepower devices. A problem here lies in the way that you manage these devices. Some devices do not support the FMC, and some devices have to be managed through ASDM, and others have to be managed through FMC."
"This is an older product and has reached end-of-life."
"UTM features would be nice or some NextGen features."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Cisco ASA should be easier to use. It is a bit tough to navigate and see what is going on."
"The solution needs to have better logging features."
"The software was very buggy, to the point it had to be removed."
"In today's world, cyberattacks have become a common occurrence. However, so far, we have not faced any issues with our systems. I hope the situation remains the same in the future. If Cisco introduces even more advanced security measures, it would be beneficial."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"It is not a very secure product."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"There is a lot of room for Improvement in the offering, from cost to functionality. It is pretty straightforward to implement which is an advantage. However, it falls short in pricing, detection capabilities, and, most importantly, reporting and policy management."
