Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"The network security and cloud security are most valuable."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The GUI is good."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"Single sign-on is also good. If you are accessing your corporate firewall from your home, during that time there is integration with AD. You can use your AD password to access your SSL VPN. It's not like if you buy an additional SSL VPN... You can directly integrate with your AD. If you change your password on the AD side, your client-to-VPN password also gets changed. You can integrate all your passwords from a single console. It's not like admin has to change your password, it's a single sign-on."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"It needs more available central management."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"Can be underpowered if you choose to use all available add-on features. Just be careful when sizing your unit. Make sure you take into account what features you will be turning on, and work with your sales rep to get the model that can handle that load."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
