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 multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"The secure web gateway module and the application control module are valuable. HA operations are very easy."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"It is extremely stable I would say — at least after you deploy it."
"Being able to use it as a policy-based VPN is valuable. It's very easy to understand. It's very easy to troubleshoot."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The CLI is the most valuable feature. This solution is very flexible and offers different functionality including firewalls and VPN connectivity."
"Once you add Firepower onto to it and you start enabling some of its features, you get some IDS/IPS involved with it and you can even do web filtering."
"The solution is pretty easy to deploy."
"I like its integration with the AnyConnect client. I also like how modular it is. For example, I can easily integrate the Umbrella add-on into it. We are planning on adding Umbrella. We haven't added it yet, but we have researched."
"IPSec Tunnel and AnyConnect (of course), the context awareness was a good feature, but clumsy at the beginning. I think it's better now."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The solution can scale."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"Lacks training for new features."
"The inclusion of an autofill feature would improve the ease of commands."
"The cloud does not precisely mimic what is on-premises."
"Cisco should work on ASDM. One of the biggest drawbacks of Cisco ASA is ASDM GUI. Cisco should improve the ASDM GUI. The configuration through ASDM is really difficult as compared to CLI. Sometimes when you are doing the configuration in ASDM, it suddenly crashes. It also crashes while pushing a policy. Cisco should really work on this."
"We only have an issue with time sync with Cisco ASA and NTP. If the time is out of sync, it will be a disaster for the failover."
"The overall licensing structure could improve to make the solution better."
"I think they need to review their whole UI because it feels like it was created by a whole bunch of different teams of developers who didn't fully talk to each other. The net policy screen is just a mess. It should look like the firewall policy screen, and they should both act the same, but they don't. I feel like it's two different buildings or programming, who don't talk to each other, and that really annoys me."
"Cisco should redo their website so it's actually usable in a faster way."
"The product line does not address the SMB market as it is supposed to do. Cisco already has an on-premises sandbox solution."
"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."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
