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."Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"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 application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"We're primarily using Juniper's EPA feature, but not the other things. We use it to manage different points of firewalling of routing."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"The user interface is good."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"It is very easy to use."
"Web application filtering eases internet access control."
"There are plenty of features that are valuable in the Sophos Cyberoam UTM. We use all the features, such as email Security, firewall rules, web server security, web devices, web protection."
"Its portal is user-friendly. I am able to manage the user data and access control through this device."
"The user interface is well laid out and understandable."
"The main features I have found best are the load balancer and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the IPSec forwarding."
"I like the SSL VPN connection. Cyberoam works well for controlling users and authenticating their connection to the internet."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"The pricing could always be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"The support costs and licensing are sometimes so expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"The capacity can be limiting. We have outgrown its capacity. You can only scale up to a certain extent, depending on the device purchased."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"The training videos that are available need to be improved, and made more educative."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
"The reporting part could be more user-friendly for troubleshooting and identifying network issues. It should be more easy for a normal user to identify the problem in their network."
"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 documentation is not straightforward."
"The price is obviously a more sensitive area to focus on."
"The product fails to provide proper reports, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, users are timed out intermittently."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
