Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"FortiGate is flexible and easy to use."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"It protects the data behind our switches."
"Security policies in combination with zones: It is very easy to organize the security polices in a logical structure."
"The main features are safeguarding their data and ensuring robust security services for organizational data."
"I like the routing and firewall features."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"It's fine, and it's good. It's very stable."
"The scalability is fine."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"The installation phase was easy."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design."
"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"FortiGate is really good. We have been using it for quite some time. Initially, when we started off, we had around 70 plus devices of FortiGate, but then Check Point and Palo Alto took over the place. From the product perspective, there are no issues, but from the account perspective, we have had issues. Fortinet's presence in our company is very less. I don't see any Fortinet account managers talking to us, and that presence has diluted in the last two and a half or three years. We have close to 1,500 firewalls. Out of these, 60% of firewalls are from Palo Alto, and a few firewalls are from Check Point. FortiGate firewalls are very less now. It is not because of the product; it is because of the relationship. I don't think they had a good relationship with us, and there was some kind of disconnect for a very long time. The relationship between their accounts team and my leadership team seems to be the reason for phasing out FortiGate."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"As a networking person, I don't really have any major issues with this device. Based on my experience of using it in a cluster, it could be more stable. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP. It is a good solution, but firewalls don't seem to be an area of development for Juniper. They are focusing on data centers, routers, and switches, not firewalls."
"The GUI needs improvement."
"The CLI is verbose. You have to say a lot to do a little. I don't like that part of it. Cisco's command syntax seems to be a good bit more concise. When you're trying to get something done, you don't want to have to type a bunch."
"The user interface is something that Juniper needs to improve."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"I think Juniper SRX should have a GUI. Some of the competitors are already implementing GUI for the firewall."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
