"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The performance is good."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be scalable."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"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."
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
"The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility."
"Its interface could be better."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
