"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The Untangle firewall is a software firewall, so it runs on generic hardware. We found that was probably the best feature, and it's why we chose it when we started using it three years ago."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"Easy to set up and easy to integrate."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"The interface is very good."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"The solution is very expensive."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"There aren't really any negative aspects to discuss."
"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"We seek the availability of the hardware in our region. The hardware-based firewall from Untangle is currently not available in our region. It should have threat protection on a real-time basis. This feature, available in Check Point and Sandstorm kind of scenario, is currently missing in Untangle NG Firewall."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"The hardware can be improved."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
