Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."This is a vast system that includes a lot of features."
"The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable."
"The solution is scalable because they have models that allow it to be right sized."
"The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent."
"The installation is very simple."
"The sandboxing feature is very important."
"The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."
"The most valuable FortiGate Cloud feature is logging. It's there seven days a week, and there is no hard limit on logs or size restrictions. This much capacity will show up for that seven days. FortiGate Cloud offers many other valuable features like Fortinet Secure Gateway, SASE, and the Fortinet Security Fabric."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the modules it offers."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"It is the customization of Terraform's modules that I find most valuable."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"The state file is the most beneficial aspect of HashiCorp Terraform. It enables the retrieval and utilization of a previous state to build upon. This feature is particularly important since it allows for the identification of changes from the previous state, making the state file a critical component of the process."
"Its price should be better."
"We've not seen any areas for improvement."
"Improving the platform's intuitiveness and consolidating functionalities, such as reporting and firewall features, could enhance user experience and reduce the need for multiple product purchases."
"We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall."
"I would like to see more reporting from the analysis improved in the future."
"The robustness of the software could be improved."
"When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients."
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now."
"I initially found the initial HashiCorp Terraform difficult to comprehend. It's complex and not straightforward, requiring proper training to grasp it. Even someone with a background in networking or cybersecurity would need guidance from someone knowledgeable."
"HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed."
"Lacks flexibility in common programming languages."
"The user interface could be easier for non-technical people."
