Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"Customers want to load balance more than eight lines or six internet lines. FortiGate is the only solution that can accomplish this."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"The ASA 55-x range is a solid and reliable firewall. It secures the traffic for normal purposes."
"The content filtering is good."
"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 most valuable feature is zone segmentation, which we utilize through the Firepower management console."
"This product is pretty stable."
"Its efficiency and security are the most important. We are more efficient and more secure."
"I think that the firewall feature is the most valuable to me as it is one of the oldest features for this solution. We also appreciate how stable the VPN is."
"The grouping of the solutions helps save time. If you have a problem and you have a high-level overview of the system, you can easily dig deeper into the problem. For example, I can check to see why ASA isn't working but the reason for the outage is actually because of Duo. I can spend a lot of time working in the wrong direction because I didn't have an overview."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"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 product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The solution can scale."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"The platform's interface could improve."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"I would like to see an IE version of the solution where it is ruggedized."
"The reporting and other features are nice, but there is an issue with applying the configuration. That part needs some improvement."
"On the VPN side, Firepower could be better. It needs more monitoring on VPNs. Right now, it's not that good. You can set up a VPN in Firepower, but you can't monitor it."
"UTM features would be nice or some NextGen features."
"I would like to see them release a patch for ASAv with cross-platform FirePower integration."
"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."
"The IPS module is combined with the main operating system."
"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."
"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."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"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."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"Technical support could be improved."
