Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The interface is very good."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"I think Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is one of the most advanced firewall platforms. I also like that it's easy to get top-level support right away. You get that security, and if you make a mistake, it doesn't break."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"The features I find most valuable is the VPN and the fact that we can apply our policies to the program."
"Add-on features such as Virus Scanning, ATP, and web filtering add another level of protection and block malware before it gets to the end user."
"The interface is very user-friendly and it is quite easy to use."
"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."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"Backup can be improved."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"There are some problems that support cannot give you a logical reason as to why it happened. For example, I had a case where I was dealing with a WhatsApp application that was giving issues. Technical support gave more than one reason it could be giving issues, but none of them solved the problem. Eventually I solved the problem, but it was far from the solutions that support had given."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in performance and the support language. The support they're providing right now is from a different country, and in our country, there are people—network admins and IT heads—who don't speak English properly. So Barracuda needs to provide support agents who speak additional languages, such as Bangla."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
"The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
