Find out in this report how the two Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"It is quite easy to handle."
"The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"FortiGate is very simple to manage and easy to use."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"One of the best things about Huawei NGFW is its ability to integrate Azure solutions. Every year, we can add new features to the firewall. The key advantage is the integration across the entire network, so it doesn't work in isolation. For example, we can manage everything with features like the secret manager or analytic IDs. The solution is straightforward. It can also detect intrusions."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The setup is quite easy."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"The solution can scale well."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from web filtering, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I don't get proper reports."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"Monitoring and reporting could be better."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The product has some scalability and data management issues where improvements are required."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
