We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users.""Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it.""It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting.""Also, the strength of the community is invaluable.""AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group.""The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."

"I like the tool's controller facility.""The most valuable feature of this solution is application control.""The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers.""I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details.""It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product.""From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine.""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.""The documentation has been satisfactory."

Cons
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers.""Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward.""The system should be more customizable.""They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner""I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty.""It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."

"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""The solution is more expensive than other products.""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.""Fingerprint access security would improve this solution.""If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.""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.""Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
