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.
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"Its ability to work with the traffic."
"The Firepower IPS, based on Snort technology, has an amazing detection engine and historical analysis capability of files that eases threat investigations a lot."
"Even in very big environments, Cisco comes in handy with configuration and offers reliability when it comes to managing multiple items on one platform."
"Collaboration with other Cisco products such as ISE and others is the most valuable feature."
"It provides security for our company and users."
"It's got the capabilities of amassing a lot of throughput with remote access and VPNs."
"ASDM provides GUI for configurations. The ASDM has made configuring ASA easy. No need to memorize CLI commands."
"The IP filter configuration for specific political and Static NAT has been most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"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."
"The server appliance is good."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"Its price could be better."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"Its filtering is sometimes too precise or strict. We sometimes have to bypass and authorize some of the sites, but they get blocked. We know that they are trusted sites, but they are blocked, and we don't know why."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"Application management can be improved."
"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"Most of the time, when I try to run Java, it is not compatible with ASA's current operating systems."
"Deploying configurations takes longer than it should."
"They really need support for deployment."
"There may have been one or two incidences of malicious threats."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I have found that Cisco reporting capabilities are not as rich as other products, so the reporting could be improved."
"The visibility for VPN is one big part. The policy administration could be improved in terms of customizations and flexibility for changing it to our needs."
"I would like it if they made the newer generation a bit simpler. You can do ASA code and FXOS. It is just a bit confusing with the newer generational equipment on what it can do."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"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."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"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."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"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."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
