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."It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."
"Fortinet has a very good solution for Secure SD-WAN. One very good feature is that they have robust and simple FortiOS through which they provide all solutions. That's their strength. There's not much complexity involved with the Secure SD-WAN solution of Fortinet as compared to Cisco's solution, which has a lot of flexibility but complexity also comes with that flexibility."
"It has improved our organization with control data."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The CLI is the most valuable feature. This solution is very flexible and offers different functionality including firewalls and VPN connectivity."
"You can also put everything into a nice, neat, little package, as far as configuration goes. I was formerly a command-line guy with the ASA, and I was a little nervous about dealing with a GUI interface versus a command line, but after I did my first deployment, I got a lot more comfortable with doing it GUI based."
"It allowed us to consolidating multiple security devices into a single appliance."
"It is extremely stable I would say — at least after you deploy it."
"Cisco tech is always good and helpful. I would rate them as 10 out of 10."
"The most valuable feature is zone segmentation, which we utilize through the Firepower management console."
"It's the VPN side of things that has been most useful for us. It allows us to secure our users even when they're working from home. They are able to access all of our resources, no matter where they are in the world."
"The feature I find most valuable is the Cisco VPN Interconnection."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"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."
"Its ability to find zero-day threats, malware and anything malicious has greatly improved my customer's organization, especially for protecting the users' browser."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"Other firewalls, upgrading is a very easy task; from the graphical user interface, you just need to import the firmware versions into it and install it. In this firewall, you need to have a third-party solution in both. It's a process. It's a procedure, a hard procedure, actually, so there is no straightforward procedure for upgrading."
"At times the product is sluggish and slow"
"The performance should be improved."
"10Gb interfaces should be available on more models."
"These firewalls are not for beginners."
"My team tells me that other solutions such as Fortinet and Palo Alto are easier to implement."
"Its implementation was not straightforward. It was mainly because we were running two projects together."
"They need a user-friendly interface that we could easily configure."
"I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."
"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."
"Technical packaging could be improved."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"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."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
