Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise modeling and the simple interface."
"FortiGate is on the cheaper end, and it offers good value."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"I like the tool's ability to manage cloud traffic locally without routing it through our data centers."
"Check Point CloudGuard is quick to deploy and easy for the customer to use."
"All the features that we subscribe to from CloudGuard NGTP are valuable. All the threat prevention and access control features give us the network security that we expect."
"The product gives analytic reports."
"The ease of administration with the cloud management extension and the cloud licensing model is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is threat prevention."
"We primarily secure our network using CloudGuard Network Security's next-generation firewall features, including anti-spam, IPS, and URL filtering. Our chosen package for the go-to-market strategy is NGTP. For customers seeking more features, we provide options to upgrade to the tool's advanced packages."
"The most valuable feature for us is the cluster support."
"User and network policies to be managed on a single screen with powerful filtering and search options."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"The performance has been good overall."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"The networking system updates, when delayed, can lead to misconfigurations and data loss."
"The memory and hard disk capability could be strengthened."
"There is a limitation with the version upgrade. We are using version 81.10 and from what I understand, it is problematic to upgrade this version. I do not know if that is true."
"The management console can be simplified because at the moment, it is a bit of a challenge to use."
"The solution is not that flexible when deploying on-prem."
"CloudGuard functions just like any other firewall. It functions very well. The only thing that could maybe be improved would be to integrate some tools that are not integrated with the SmartConsole, like the SmartView Monitor that we need to open on a different application to access."
"In the next release, including VRF support would be highly beneficial."
"I want the upgrades of their CloudGuard solution to major versions to be easier. We have had a few small hiccups. They have different types of cloud clusters called Geo Clusters, and those just cannot be upgraded past a certain point, which is a hurdle that we are currently experiencing."
"Technical support could be faster."
"There is a lot or room for improvement, because it is still not a fourth or fifth generation firewall. It lacks security features."
"The data support response time should be improved."
"The following could be improved: Web Filtering using wildcards; clarity regarding the firewall rules; granular reporting features."
"Its scalability is not that great."
"On-box sandstorm should be available. As of now, it is from their cloud."
"The blocking needs to be improved."
"There are some issues with logs and report limitations."
