"It's great for handling complex items."
"The features I find most valuable is the VPN and the fact that we can apply our policies to the program."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The product, itself, doesn't seem to have any bugs or glitches."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"The solution works perfectly without any users."
"It has been working fine. You just turn it on, and it works."
"The firewall feature has different branches, such as extended firewalls."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"In some cases, its initial setup could be hard for customers."
"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"The solution is very expensive."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program."
"If you have another brand of VPN where you have to put an SSL VPN between two devices, Barracuda doesn't support that at a certain point. You can't actually build the VPN between Barracuda and a different device of a different brand."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"The price could be better."
"Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies."
"I would say there's room for improvement in terms of the GUI. Because it is better than some of the other standard firewalls. They have the drag and drop features."
"The solution is at its end of life and some of the appliances are finishing."
"The policy is a bit too vague."
"We use different workarounds and find different solutions for it, depending on the client's needs. We shouldn't have to, we should just be able to use the product as it comes with Cyberoam, rather than having to revert to other products."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"VPN configuration is not very swift."
"The setup is a bit complex, so we needed help from a consultant."
