"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"FortiGate firewalls are user-friendly, and I like the security profiling features."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture) VPN features - Allows automatic VPN configuration with little or no input from the tech. Drag and drop lines between Barracuda units and the VPN is built automatically."
"The tool is stable."
"Good user interface."
"In some circumstances, the malware functionality is the most important feature, and in other cases, some other features."
"All in one UTM appliance."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is the SD-WAN gateway."
"The product has helped control bandwidth utilization, as well as enhanced connectivity and security to remote locations."
"The dashboard is very good-looking and offers maximum features. If a customer's website has a problem, we can guide them over the phone because they can easily find the specific option on the dashboard. That's why we suggest buying Sophos."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"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 solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"The technical manuals, at times, have images that don't match the actual screens and are not always as clear as they could be on the configuration."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
"The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"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."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"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."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"It isn't missing anything."
"The solution's pricing could be a problem for some small businesses."
"I would like to see real-time alerts on traffic insights."
