Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The installation is very simple."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"It's easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"The IPS and firewall function is valuable in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are ease of use and the simplicity of maintenance and configuration. Additionally, the modularity of the solution is very easy to handle, it is convenient."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has good pricing compared to other firewall and security products."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"instead of asking for firewall rules which may or may not be relevant, or could already be there, or could be over-permissioned, Skybox can be used to map out the resources that that application is going to use and provide the exact rules that an application would require to function correctly. If the traffic isn't able to flow for the application, if it's erring out, Skybox can be used to troubleshoot that and say, "All right, where is the traffic being stopped and why, and how do I fix that.""
"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall."
"Reporting is an area that can be enhanced."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."
"Currently with the solution, if you want to manage more than one FortiGate you have to use a VM, and a VM can control up to 10."
"When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients."
"I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future."
"They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
