Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The performance is good."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the APIs. They are the most widely known."
"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"The solution is stable."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"All the features except IPS are valuable. IPS is not a part of my job."
"Stability, high availability of services, and very high MTBU were the most valuable features for me."
"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."
"It's quite a capable box for UTM."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"URL filtering is valuable."
"The product offers good scalability."
"I like the IPS feature, it is the most valuable."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"The server appliance is good."
"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 features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"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."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"This is an older product and has reached end-of-life."
"The IPS module is combined with the main operating system."
"Deploying configurations takes longer than it should."
"Its configuration through GUI as well as CLI can be improved and made easier."
"VPNs are weak as this product still does not support route-based VPNs."
"I would like to see an IE version of the solution where it is ruggedized."
"If I need to download AnyConnect in a rush, it will prompt me for my Cisco login account. Nobody wants to download a client to a firewall that they don't own."
"We would really like to see dual dual power supplies for some Cisco Firewall products."
"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 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."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"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."
