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 SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"There are no issues that we are aware of. It does its job silently in the background."
"Their performance is most valuable."
"I am used to the ASA syntax, therefore it is quite easy to make up new rules. I have found that DNS doctoring rules are useful."
"If only a Layer 4 FW is needed, this is a good solution."
"For our very specific use case, for remote access for VPN, ASAs are very good."
"We have been using a 5520 for seven years in our datacenter and we are satisfied by this version."
"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."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"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."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"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 logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"It is slowly not supported and other vendors are a few years ahead of Cisco in development."
"This is an older product and has reached end-of-life."
"The stability and the product features have to really be worked on."
"The solution is overcomplicated in some senses. Simplifying it would be an improvement."
"The change-deployment time can always be improved. Even at 50 seconds, it's longer than some of its competitors. I would challenge Cisco to continue to improve in that area."
"In terms of next-generation capabilities, Cisco is a little behind, and it is way behind the market leaders."
"It lacks management. For me, it still doesn't have a proper management tool or GUI for configuration, logging, and visualization. Its management is not that easy. It is also not very flexible and easy to configure. They used to have a product called CSM, but it is no longer being developed. FortiGate is better than this solution in terms of GUI, flexibility, and user-friendliness."
"The application detection feature of this solution could be improved as well as its integration with other solutions."
"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."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It is not a very secure product."
"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."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"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."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
