Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."FortiGate is very simple to manage and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"Its central management, especially when it comes to distributed environments, is great. I can generate and save a setting and then apply that setting across the network with just one click."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"The filtering was very good."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature for us was to implement negligent functionality, to direct functionality to viewer control and application control so we could disconnect, and at the same time, we installed checkpoints. We disconnected our proxy."
"The solution is very robust."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"If you have another brand of VPN where you have to put an SSL VPN between two devices, Barracuda doesn't support that at a certain point. You can't actually build the VPN between Barracuda and a different device of a different brand."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"I am not able to see a demo."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"While the technical support is good, the Indian level technical support could use an upgrade."
"The solution could be improved if there was a better way to report. The reporting functionality is not really good. Even though it's not the major function. Maybe adding a way to make a custom report."
"The interface needs improvement."
