We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Comodo Dome Firewall [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure."
"Unified Threat Management (UTM) features."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit."
"Some of the key features of the solution is that it has good reporting, you can receive many details from the connection, for example, clients and website information."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"Great security and connectivity."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"In terms of the reporting, it's beautiful. It integrates with Azure monitoring and with Azure policies. That piece is a big help. You can set governing policies and you can use the application firewall, as well as the Azure Firewall, to enforce those policies."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"Network filtering is valuable. The scalability capability from the cloud-native service helps us a lot because it simplifies our day-to-day maintenance activity."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"The sniffing packets or packet captures, can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing."
"There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated."
"FortiLink is the interface on the firewall that allows you to extend switch management across all of your switches in the network. The problem with it is that you can't use multiple interfaces unless you set them up in a lag. Only then you can run them. So, it forces you to use a core type of switch to propagate that management out to the rest of the switches, and then it is running the case at 200. It leaves you with 18 ports on the firewall because it is also a layer-three router that could also be used as a switch, but as soon as you do that, you can't really use them. They could do a little bit more clean up in the way the stacking interface works. Some use cases and the documentation on the FortiLink checking interface are a little outdated. I can find stuff on version 5 or more, but it is hard to find information on some of the newer firmware. The biggest thing I would like to see is some improvement in the switch management feature. I would like to be able to relegate some of the ports, which are on the firewall itself, to act as a switch to take advantage of those ports. Some of these firewalls have clarity ports on them. If I can use those, it would mean that I need to buy two less switches, which saves time. I get why they don't, but I would still like to see it because it would save a little bit of space in the server rack."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"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."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"Azure should be able to work better as a balancer also, instead of just being a firewall. It should have a wider mandate."
"Currently, it only supports IP addresses, so you have to be specific about the IPs that are in your environment."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
