Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."
"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"I also like the ability to build custom functions. I can define a function where I have two types of views and configure the dependencies. The virtual data centers concept allows me to define users. If a user wants to join certain kinds of machines, the host and the other user won't see them. It gives me the flexibility to define multiple views and data centers in one place."
"The service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"What's best about OpenNebula that people like is that it's easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage. It's interesting because people choose OpenNebula over other solutions because of the ease of management."
"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"An area for improvement in OpenNebula is the number of features it has. The solution doesn't have that many cloud features compared to other solutions. You'd say, "Okay, simplicity over a rich feature list?" Some say, "No, I need a big machine or a cloud interface for my customers to manage resources. I don't have to go and do it for them." Some people do it that way, and it works, but I'd like to improve the limited features in OpenNebula."
"Most of the competitors are offering some sort of billing software to transform their installation to work as a small-sized public cloud, but those offerings from OpenNebula are still missing."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"It should have a simple REST API like most other tools. It's the industry standard format. An XML-RPC API gives you an XML document that you have to convert and then do something with that. REST API endpoint provides outputs in a JSON document. I would also like to see support for user data or heat templates, which OpenStack offers, but OpenNebula doesn't have this yet."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"There are small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
