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."I like how we can achieve total integration."
"The technical support is great."
"It is quite easy to handle."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"Cisco Secure Firewall is robust and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is IPS. It's a feature that's very interesting for tackling the most current attacks."
"I found that setting up rules for HTTPS and SSH access to the management interface are straightforward, including setting the cypher type."
"Because of the deeper inspection it provides we have better security and sections that allow users broader access."
"ASA 5505 and ASA 5506 are very powerful tools to use in a business environment, and provide a lot of security."
"The deep packet inspection is useful, but the most useful feature is application awareness. You can filter on the app rather than on a static TCP port."
"The main thing that I love the most is its policy and objects. Whenever I try to give access to a user, I can create an object via group creation in the object fields. This way, I am not able to enter a user in the policy repeatedly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to block almost all of the ports."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"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."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"The security features in the URL category need more improvement."
"There is limited data storage on the appliance itself. So, you need to ship it out elsewhere in order for you to store it. The only point of consideration is around that area, basically limited storage on the machine and appliance. Consider logging it elsewhere or pushing it out to a SIEM to get better controls and manipulation over the data to generate additional metrics and visibility."
"With regards to stability, we had a critical bug come out during our evaluation... not good."
"They really need support for deployment."
"When we first got it, we were doing individual configuring. Now, there is a way to manage from one location."
"The performance should be improved."
"Sometimes my customers say that Cisco Firewalls are a bit more difficult compared to Fortigate or Palo Alto. There is complexity in the configuration and the GUI could be improved."
"Maybe the dashboard could be a bit better."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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 product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
