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."The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"It can expand easily."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"The most valuable features are simplicity, management, and that it's constantly evolving."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"Juniper supports their products very well."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"The user interface is good."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The solution has been good for fulfilling our basic needs."
"The firewall features and the routing capability are the most valuable."
"It is very easy to use."
"We have never had to restart a firewall. The firewalls have all worked perfectly fine."
"The most valuable feature is the IPSec forwarding."
"It has been working fine. You just turn it on, and it works."
"Web and content filtering are valuable in preventing people from abusing the network and pushing up the bandwidth price."
"The most valuable feature is the solution is easy to configure for users."
"Cyberoam UTM's most valuable feature is that it can be configured any way you like."
"I like Sophos Cyberoam UTM as a security component or device for organizations. Performance-wise, it's a satisfactory solution, and it works okay. It also has good features."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"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."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"One area for improvement is the performance on the bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"It did not improve our safety because the IDS does not detect some attacks, but our anti-virus software did."
"IPS is one that I would definitely want to be improved. I would also like SSL VPN to be integrated."
"The solution isn't very granular or detailed."
"I think improvement can be done to the security part, particularly the UDM, and the product should have a user-friendly interface similar to FortiGate. It should have the Azure RBAC in the next release."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"I've noticed that the management interface could use some updates and upgrades."
"It's a good stable firewall, but it's nowhere near what it needs to be for a next-generation type firewall."
"I don't know whether this will be included in an upgrade, but I would like to get the user utility, like seeing where the users are using more of the data."
"The product strategy of the manufacturer is strange. I don't understand what they are doing in that regard."
"Smaller CR15 units don’t have a hard disc or built in IView software. These units could do with that feature."
"The technical support response time could be faster."
"Cyberoam configuration is done through the browser, which is one of the places that viruses spread."
"Cyberoam UTM needs to have more certifications with third-parties, such as NSS Labs."
"The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections."
"SD-WAN should be included in the tool."
