"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."

"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"A VPN client feature is missing in our region, which we hope Forcepoint will address in future updates."
"Management could be better. They can improve the management. I think all our customers can't accept firewalls that have standalone management. So, they prefer Fortinet or Palo Alto. But overall, inspection and other features are working fine."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"Its interface is complex when compared with a firewall like FortiGate. Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall needs a management console, whereas FortiGate doesn't need any console. When you have a few devices, a console is not really necessary. It's good to have a private console only when you have a lot of devices."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"The web interface can be improved."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"The interface could be simpler."
"Certainly, there are areas that require enhancement, and the current focus is on improvements. Presently, I believe that the emphasis should be on enhancing user interface (UI) features, particularly over end devices. The issue arises when attempting to log in to Versa from other devices, as the UI is not device-specific. Consequently, guiding someone to log in to Versa antivirus becomes challenging. Despite the absence of issues on the website, the lack of a login scope impedes graphical representation of user data or databases. Since work databases support only a limited range of features, I recommend augmenting features for end devices to address these limitations."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
