We performed a comparison between GajShield Next Generation Firewall and SonicWall NSa based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"FortiGate's web and URL filtering are unlike any other firewall I've used. The functionality of URL filtering in those solutions is problematic because everything is encrypted, and firewalls can't break that encryption protocol. Fortinet has an SSL proxy, so the encryption is done before the packet ever leaves the FortiGate. The URL filter is definitely one of the most helpful features."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"The solution's outcome is very high, and we often use it in a very high-traffic environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"GajShield has improved our mobile device-based connectivity."
"Gajshiled's enterprise cloud and DLP-level features give it an advantage over other products."

"We use SonicWall NSa for authenticating MAC (media access control) ID from the PC."
"User friendly and intuitive."

"The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"The dynamics needs to be improved. The solution is not very compatible compared to the market products."
"Needs a more detailed reporting feature."
"We still get phishing emails that manage to come through from time to time."
"One issue with the solution is that no authorization or authentication features exist."
"I feel that the SSL VPN client software needs a lot of improvement."
"Port forwarding could use streamlining."

"The solution can be a bit expensive."
