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 most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"The initial installation is very straightforward."
"The FortiGate controls the user's activities and maximizes my bandwidth use overall."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"Fortinet FortiGate's ease of management is the most valuable feature."
"I have integrated it for incidence response. If there is a security event, the Cisco firewall will automatically block the traffic, which is valuable."
"What I like about Cisco is the security zone. By default when you configure it, it gives you a security zone, which other firewalls don't have."
"This solution helped us to identify the key areas where we need to focus to block traffic that is malicious to our organization."
"Provides good integrations and reporting."
"We find all of its features very useful. Its main features are policies and access lists. We use both of them, and we also use routing."
"The AnyConnect remote access VPN gives us an easy way to deploy remote working for our users."
"We are mostly using it for remote access, so the remote access feature is the most valuable, but all other features are also needed and required. It is also a very straightforward and reliable solution."
"The solution's dashboard is fine, and in terms of support, Cisco is better than other OEMs in the market."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security."
"The MVX Engine seems to be very capable against threats and the way it handles APTs is impressive."
"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 product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"From a reporting perspective, there's room for improvement. They're providing FortiAnalyzer through which one can get some enhancements, but the visibility and reporting still need slight improvement."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"The Firepower FTD code is missing some old ASA firewalls codes. It's a small thing. But Firepower software isn't missing things that are essential, anymore."
"It would be better if we could manage all of our firewalls as a set rather than individually. I would like to see a single pane of glass type of option. We also use another vendor's firewalls and they have a centralized management infrastructure that we have implemented. This infrastructure is a bit easier to manage."
"VPNs are weak as this product still does not support route-based VPNs."
"In terms of next-generation capabilities, Cisco is a little behind, and it is way behind the market leaders."
"Cisco's inspection visibility could be better."
"It needs to provide the next-generation firewall features that other vendors provide, like data analytics, telemetry, and deep packet inspection."
"I wish the Cisco interface was not so granular. Check Point was easier to create specific rules than with ASAv."
"I would like to see them add more next-generation features so that you don't need a lot of appliances to do just one task. It should be a single solution."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"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."
"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."
