Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"We have been able to offer several services to customers in a single box."
"Fortigate is very scalable to serve our customers' needs. We have scaled already from fifty to more than a hundred instances of Fortinet FortiGate. Around 20 staff are required for deployment and maintenance, mostly engineers."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"Its central management, especially when it comes to distributed environments, is great. I can generate and save a setting and then apply that setting across the network with just one click."
"They have a very responsive customer service and support team."
"TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture) VPN features - Allows automatic VPN configuration with little or no input from the tech. Drag and drop lines between Barracuda units and the VPN is built automatically."
"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."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The analysis is very fast."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"We get support in the free version."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"Its interface could be better."
"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."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
