Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"The solution is scalable."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products."
"With the FMC and the FirePOWERs, the ability to quickly replace a piece of hardware without having to have a network outage is useful. Also, the ability to replace a piece of equipment and deploy the config that the previous piece of equipment had is pretty useful."
"The most important feature is its categorization because on the site and social media you are unified in the way they are there."
"In v9.8 you are able to do active/backup HA with ASAv (Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance) deployed on MS Azure."
"ASA 5505 and ASA 5506 are very powerful tools to use in a business environment, and provide a lot of security."
"The features I've found most valuable are the packet captures and packet traces because they help me debug connections. I like the logs because they help me see what's going on."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Everything is all documented in the file or in the command line script that gets uploaded to the device. It gives us great visibility."
"Cisco ASA Firewall is a well known product. They're always updating it, and you know what they're doing and that it works."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"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 installation phase was easy."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"FlexConfig is there as a bridge for features that are not yet natively integrated into Firepower. It is a way of allowing you to be able to configure things that wouldn't otherwise be possible until the development team can add them into Firepower's native capability. There is still some work that needs to be done around FlexConfig. There are still quite a few complex things, like policy-based routing, that have to be done in FlexConfig, and it doesn't always work perfectly. Sometimes, there are some glitches. It is recommended that you configure FlexConfig policies with Cisco TAC. It would be good to see Cisco accelerate some of those configurations that you can only do in FlexConfig into the platform, so that they are there natively."
"This is an older product and has reached end-of-life."
"Integration aspects and traffic shaping need improvement."
"The use of it has really bogged down our response time for certain problems, given we have to go through AT&T for everything."
"With the new FTD, there is a little bit of a learning curve."
"Cisco makes horrible UIs, so the interface is something that should be improved."
"The integration between different tools could be improved. For example, with SecureX, I am yet to find out how to forward security events to different tools such as Microsoft Sentinel, which is what we use for log detection."
"We use the FTD management platform for the boxes. The GUI that manages multiple Firepower boxes could be improved so that the user experience is better."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"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."
