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 product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"This solution made our organization more secure and gave us better control."
"It makes it very easy to have delineated roles and responsibilities between network engineering and network security."
"The solution's dashboard is fine, and in terms of support, Cisco is better than other OEMs in the market."
"Cisco tech is always good and helpful. I would rate them as 10 out of 10."
"Collaboration with other Cisco products such as ISE and others is the most valuable feature."
"The feature set is fine and is rarely a problem."
"Basic firewalling is obviously the most valuable. In addition to that, secure access and remote access are also very useful for us."
"I have not contacted technical support. There is a lot of information on the internet for troubleshooting. All you need to do is use a search engine and you will find the information you are looking for easily."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"The installation phase was easy."
"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 most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Fortinet Fortigate could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"I needed to be well-versed with all the command lines for Cisco ASA in order to fully utilize it. I missed this info and wasted some operational costs."
"On the VPN side, Firepower could be better. It needs more monitoring on VPNs. Right now, it's not that good. You can set up a VPN in Firepower, but you can't monitor it."
"Cisco ASA is starting to get old and Firepower is taking over. All the good things happening are with Firepower."
"The IPS and GUI are outdated."
"The artificial intelligence and machine learning (behavioral based threat detection), which I can this will be coming out in another year, these are what we need now."
"Cisco makes horrible UIs, so the interface is something that should be improved."
"We are looking for software taxi capabilities."
"The management of the firewalls could be improved because there are a lot of bugs."
"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."
"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."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"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."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It is not a very secure product."
"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."
