Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"FortiGate is very simple to manage and easy to use."
"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."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"The feature that we like the most about Forcepoint is that we know the technology and have confidence in it. We can have several functionalities to simplify operations and management. We can combine functionalities like log ownership to review the number of devices in the infrastructure."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a good product for dealing with DDoS attacks and for the inspection of network traffic."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The product is worth the investment."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"They should make the rule sets more understandable for the end user. When you're trying to explain to somebody how a computer network is secured, sometimes it's difficult for an end user or customer to understand. If there was a way to make the terminology more accessible to the end user, the set up could be easier. They should translate the technical jargon to an easily relatable and understandable conversation for the end user, the customer, that would be brilliant. Particularly in an environment where the IT structure is audited regularly, there's always pressure from the auditor to up the standards and up the security and you get your USCERT's that come out and there's a warning about this and the customer will want to lock out so much and when you apply it they run into issue where they can't search the internet or print to their remote office. Of course they can't print to your remote office, they just locked it up. They should make the language more understandable for the customer. If there's a product out there that made the jargon understandable to John Q. Public, I would buy that."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity."
"They should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."
"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"The network interface could be better, and it could be cheaper."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could be improved."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
