Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mainly the FortiGate reporting system is very good. It guides us through all the expectations of security. Fortinet provides us all that we need for security. Also, Fortinet FortiGate is a next-generation firewall. It is much more advanced than others."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The simplicity of the product is great. It's very easy to use, which is a compliment we get all the time in terms of feedback."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
