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 next-generation firewall is great."
"It can expand easily."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"The notable features that I have found most valuable are that it includes the antivirus, and also IPS, and even SD-WAN."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it has the ability to divide the network into three parts; internal, external, and DMZ."
"It is a highly stable product. We rarely receive any serious outdates, so it works quite well."
"There are some hiccups here and there, but compared to the technical support from other vendors, I have had the best experience with Cisco's technical support. I would rate them at nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of this solution are advanced malware protection, IPS, and IDS."
"For companies prioritizing security, the optimal choice is one that offers a range of feeds to cater to diverse needs. This is particularly crucial for organizations implementing DDoS mitigation. The preferred solutions typically align with the top server vendors, with Cisco, Forti, and Barracuda consistently ranking among the top three vendors we collaborate with."
"VPN, firewall, and IDS/IPS allow us to deliver services to meet client needs across various industry verticals."
"The CLI is the most valuable feature. This solution is very flexible and offers different functionality including firewalls and VPN connectivity."
"We find all of its features very useful. Its main features are policies and access lists. We use both of them, and we also use routing."
"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."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"The installation phase was easy."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"The web-cache feature which was previously on the FortiGate device, but was deleted with the recent upgrade should be returned. It was a very valuable feature for us."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more advanced antivirus features in the next release of this solution."
"The configuration is an area that needs improvement."
"It could use a web-based portal for VPN. Earlier they had it in the ASA model, but currently they don't have it."
"In Firepower, there is an ability to search and dig into a search, which is nice. However, I'm not a super fan of the way it scrolls. If you want to look at something live, it's a lot different. You're almost waiting. With the ASDM, where it just flows, you can really see it. The second someone clicks something or does something, you'll see it. The refresh rate on the events in Firepower is not as smooth."
"I would like for the user interface to be easier for the admin and network admin. I would also like to be able to access everything from the GUI interface. The way it is now, it needs somebody experience in iOS to be able to operate it. I would like to have a GUI interface."
"We have to rely on Cisco ASDM to access the firewall interface. This needs improvement. Because we have a web-based interface, and it is a lot more user-friendly."
"They really need support for deployment."
"The cost is very high. Most organizations cannot afford it."
"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."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
