Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The solution can scale well."
"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 can expand easily."
"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."
"FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is very simple, easy to use, and flexible."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"They offer templates that provide detailed reports categorized by user, device, and internal network access."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The solution can scale."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The product is worth the investment."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"The captive portal could be improved."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."
"They should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"We feel the product's technical support could be better, as this relates to the solution itself, to the installation of the product, and to having a proper understanding of the case."
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"The management component could be simplified."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"Some of the documentation is not as straightforward as it could be."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
