Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This product is definitely scalable."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"It is very flexible to use."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"We like their interface very much. It's pretty easy to use."
"I've found the technical support to be helpful."
"It's a stable solution."
"Good site categorization and application controls."
"The solution boasts good performance and is easy to use."
"The feature we found most valuable in SonicWall TZ is that it is user-friendly for an administrator."
"SonicWall TZ think it's a good, solid, and stable product."
"We are able to block whatever we want to block by using this product. It provides all required security features, such as content filtering, VPN, in one box. Before switching to SonicWall, we had specified all required features."
"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."
"Its detection, antivirus, and filtering features are the most valuable. The facility to connect by using the VPN connection is also a very valuable feature. It is very strong, secure, and reliable. We have implemented the Untangle solution in all hardware. It is also a user-friendly solution. It is easy to learn and easy to configure."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The product is easy to implement."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet."
"The cloud features can be improved."
"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."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"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."
"It could be made more user friendly."
"The solution must provide more ports."
"The lack of support is having me look into other solutions to replace SonicWALL."
"We have been facing issues with reporting."
"If the operation increases and the bandwidth consumption increases, it does not perform as per the expectations."
"In an upcoming release, SonicWall could improve by adding cloud management for all devices for free or at a nominal cost. Currently, they have a cloud management platform but is not free. We have the MySonicWall portal for purchasing from them for software updates and renewals."
"The dashboard needs to be improved."
"Sonic Analyzer could be improved. It's difficult to manage and not very intuitive."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The product should improve reporting."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"We seek the availability of the hardware in our region. The hardware-based firewall from Untangle is currently not available in our region. It should have threat protection on a real-time basis. This feature, available in Check Point and Sandstorm kind of scenario, is currently missing in Untangle NG Firewall."
