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 most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"This solution has helped our organization by having strong functions and a reliable firewall."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"I think Sangfor NGAF is more valuable than Cisco products because of its simplicity and ease of management. If I compare it with Palo Alto and Cisco, both are quite complex products. And if I compare it with FortiGate firewalls from Fortinet, I have also used all these products. Fortinet and Sangfor NGAF are similar products because the applications behind the application and policy layers are almost identical."
"Technical support is very good."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable."
"In our hospital, Sangfor NGAF works well for us in terms of ensuring confidentiality and availability, which are crucial in the healthcare industry."
"So far, the performance and reliability of the product have supported our company's critical network traffic."
"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."
"Sangfor NGAF specializes in ransomware detection and helps to protect our network from ransomware threats and malware."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The solution can scale well."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"They've become quite expensive."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"Application management can be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better. Right now, I find it to be lacking. Having good performance is very important for our work."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"It does not offer any recommendations on how to mitigate or control attacks."
"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 NGAF could improve the policies and default criteria. They could be much better."
"I would be happy if Sangfor developed a firewall designed specifically for home use, as well as for small businesses such as clinics and so on. A household version of the Sangfor firewall for your personal computer or laptop would be ideal, in my opinion."
"The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
