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."We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The technical support is great."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"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."
"IPSec Tunnel and AnyConnect (of course), the context awareness was a good feature, but clumsy at the beginning. I think it's better now."
"It's pretty reliable and allows for isolation capabilities within the network."
"The grouping of the solutions helps save time. If you have a problem and you have a high-level overview of the system, you can easily dig deeper into the problem. For example, I can check to see why ASA isn't working but the reason for the outage is actually because of Duo. I can spend a lot of time working in the wrong direction because I didn't have an overview."
"Protecting our landscape in general and being able to see logging when things aren't going as set out in policies are valuable features. Our security department is keen on seeing the logging."
"The Inline Mode configuration works really well, and ASA works very impressively."
"Implementing Cisco Secure Firewall has saved us time because we rely on most of the out-of-the-box signatures. It has reduced the time and effort spent in configuration within the security network."
"The feature my customers find the most valuable is the exportability."
"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."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"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 server appliance is good."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"It will be nice if they had what you traditionally would use a web application scanner for. If the solution could take a deeper look into HTTP and HTTPS traffic, that would be nice."
"Cisco should redo their website so it's actually usable in a faster way."
"The stability and the product features have to really be worked on."
"An area for improvement is the graphical user interface. That is something that is coming up now. They could make the product more user-friendly. A better GUI is something that would make life much easier."
"Changes you make in the GUI sometimes do not reflect in the command line and vice versa."
"The configuration in Firepower Management Center is very slow. Deployment takes two to three minutes. You spend a lot of time on modifications. Whereas, in FortiGate, you press a button, and it takes one second."
"The user interface is too complex for people who are not trained to or certified to engage with the product. The interface should be easier to use."
"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."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"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 would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"It is not a very secure product."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
