Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The solution has good features."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The solution can scale well."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"It needs more available central management."
"There is one big configuration file with no separations for the unique VDOMs. Maybe they could separate individual VDOM configuration files with the root VDOM configuration file referencing the individual VDOM config files."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"It could use more tutorials."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
