"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"Add-on features such as Virus Scanning, ATP, and web filtering add another level of protection and block malware before it gets to the end user."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"If an employee tries to get or move a file that is not permitted to them - for example if he wants to copy it to a USB - he will not have the right to do that, because Barracuda manages who has the right to copy, and what you copy to a USB. The USB is encrypted with a specific code from Barracuda and will only be decrypted into any other laptop in the company if they allow it to see it."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"I think Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is one of the most advanced firewall platforms. I also like that it's easy to get top-level support right away. You get that security, and if you make a mistake, it doesn't break."
"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."
"Technical support is excellent."
"All in one UTM appliance."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the threat protection."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"SD-WAN and IPSec features are valuable to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a very strong product with good support."
"Our customers find it economical and offers good security. These two features are key. Ease of installation and implementation are also key factors."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"I need user-behavior analytics, to find threat scenarios from inside the organization, insider attacks. That would be very helpful for us. In addition, I would like next-generation features for small and medium businesses. These businesses require UTM, all in one product. Fortinet must include it."
"This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"Its interface could be better."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"The analytics are weak."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"It isn't missing anything."
"Once in a while, an unwanted email will slip in. You have to set your parameters to avoid that happening, but once in a while, an email has slipped past firewall. Once you update the firmware, you notice that it doesn't happen. If an email slips in, I get a little bit worried. I do get the report, but you just don't want that situation happening in the first place."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks."
"The solution had a feature to import users from a CSV file. However, the latest version does not have that option."
"Needs a mail alert/notification when the device loses any of its connections, during ISP redundancy implementation."
"I would like to see improvements in the development of reports. The process needs to be made simple."
