"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"The built-in features function as intended, providing exceptional value."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"The product is very fast and reliable."
"The level of support provided to local companies is good. They transform their application control and other settings according to that country."
"We can utilize our own network rather than paying for a private one."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"Technical support is very good."
"It's a very simple to use product."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The interface is very good."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"Reporting is limited to providing an external appliance for improving the reporting capabilities of the FortiAnalyzer. It does not offer a central management and is also sold separably as an appliance."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"Sangfor NGAF could improve by refining its application control policies, especially in addressing challenges with certain types of applications."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"The support offered by the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The knowledge levels and response time of the support team need improvement."
"Sangfor could improve their interface capacity on the 5100 series model and upgrade their hardware from one gig to 10 gig. This would improve the overall throughput."
"Sangfor could improve by providing better real-time reporting, as the current reports don't offer the level of detail we need, especially for runtime insights."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"On their low-end appliance, they could have more memory and the largest storage space. The low-end appliance comes with a too-small hard drive, and it could use a little extra room. It only comes with about 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory, and the hardware space is only 40 gigs, which is really small."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
