"The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"It is an easily scalable solution...The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution's outcome is very high, and we often use it in a very high-traffic environment."
"The most valuable feature of the GajShield Next Generation Firewall is the user-friendly settings, dashboards, and anti-threat protection. Additionally, the solution upgrades frequently which is good because we receive new features."
"It is a stable solution."
"GajShield has improved our mobile device-based connectivity."
"Gajshiled's enterprise cloud and DLP-level features give it an advantage over other products."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall's best feature is the network DLP."
"The most valuable features are the IPS/IDS subscriptions."
"They have a good system operator in the firewalls and it provides many tools that they can use to protect their networks."
"In my opinion, Palo Alto has consistently been one of the best firewalls for enterprise security."
"The performance of Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls is the most valuable feature."
"One of the simple features I like about Palo Alto firewalls is that it's extremely easy to find out what's happening in the network. The reporting is phenomenal, and it's easy to find which threats have been detected and what traffic is going through the box. When a customer notices something is wrong, you can quickly check the amount of traffic going through the firewall around that time. If there is anything out of the ordinary, you can decide it needs to be investigated further."
"A feature introduced by Palo Alto with the version 10-OS is embedded machine learning in the core of the firewall to provide inline, real-time attack prevention. Machine learning analyzes the network traffic and detects if there is any usual traffic coming from outside to inside. Because of Palo Alto, organizations detect around 91% of malicious attacks using machine learning. The machine learning helps customers by implementing firewalls in critical and air gap areas so there is no need to integrate with the cloud sandbox."
"Application control, IPS, and sandboxing towards the cloud are the most valuable features. It is a very user-friendly product with a very easy-to-use interface."
"It worked fine normally."
"FortiGate should have a better way of detecting and managing the system memory because otherwise if the memory is too low, a system restart is required."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"It needs more available central management."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"Gajshield can improve SD-WAN compatibility at an enterprise cloud level."
"Sometimes, we have to use SD-WAN support for the solution, which can be improved by adapting some features that will help our approach to network services."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall would be improved with the addition of a load-balancing feature."
"We face issues with some configuration parts that we don't understand in the solution, and sometimes we face issues with the VPN connection."
"GajShield Next Generation Firewall could improve the flow of the settings. If somebody's using a Cisco firewall or any other brand and they want to use GajShield Next Generation Firewall the platform's UI is a bit different. If it was more similar to the others it would be better."
"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
"The firewall configuration and administration screens could use some improvement."
"The scalability of the firewalls could be improved."
"Could also use better customer support."
"Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls do not provide a unified platform that natively integrates all security capabilities."
"The VPN has room for improvement."
"In the last three years at least, they have been lagging behind their competitors. The main issue is the support that we can get... You have to wait for them to get back to you and sometimes it's random. And the biggest problem I have is that you have to wait hours on the line when you're calling them to get a hold of the next available engineer."
"The pricing could be improved upon."
"The user interface is probably not as slick as it could be."
"Personally, I feel that their dashboards for reporting and things like that need some improvement."
