Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features are ease of use, flexibility, and most of the configuration we can be done using the GUI. When we compare Fortinet FortiGate with other solutions the firewall policy are very easy to understand."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"The most valuable features are simplicity, management, and that it's constantly evolving."
"We use the product for firewalls."
"The technical is excellent."
"The product has valuable features for business intelligence."
"Completely integrates branch offices with perimeter security."
"The product is easy to use."
"Technical support for this solution is very good."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"Cisco IOS Security is a mature product with extensive capabilities, serving as the base for the defense layer. It offers good network visibility, which helps in rapid response through the Rapid Threat Containment feature. Its deployment and configuration are straightforward."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"There are some tiny bugs that sometimes affect the operations. In the past revision of it, there was a bug. Because of the bug, we had to downgrade the version. It happened only with the last revision."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding FortiAnalyzer to its solution, we should not have to use another solution. FortiAnalyzer can provide more detailed information."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"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 solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"There could be a bit more functions on offer that could make it easier to use."
"We cannot directly upgrade the system. The tool's deployment is also very difficult in legacy environments. The tool needs to have bigger ports as well."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
"There's a technology called SD-WAN that we would like to see. We are unable to handle multiple connections or to automatically load balance. I would like to have a feature that enables us to automatically prepare for load balancing."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see support for the 100BT and 7000 models."
"Cisco IOS Security should improve its functionalities."
"We faced significant challenges related to licensing issues, particularly when licenses expire."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"Training."
"Could be easier to implement."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"Sometimes the web page doesn't work. I don't know if it's an outage or if there is maintenance going on in the background. From time to time, Commvault will suddenly stop taking backups for some intervals."
