Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible."
"Fortinet FortiGate is stable. It's used across all the countries, this is the way most multinationals run their system."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"It does a lot for you for intrusion protection and as an antivirus. The threat management bundle is worth the money. You don't need another company to monitor your web traffic for you. You can do everything yourself on the firewall. You restrict your own black list for people on the firewall. You don't need to pay some other company for another product to do that for you. The firewall can do that for you. So, it's an easy-to-use product for people to be independent. They don't need to rely on other vendors to do what the firewall can do. They can do everything."
"It can expand easily."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"The solution is stable."
"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"One of the big benefits of the product is that it allows you to manage big environments with fewer resources."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"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."
"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"Technical support has been good."
"The Web-filter in this solution is not very good."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"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 features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Its interface could be better."
"The analytics are weak."
"The technical manuals, at times, have images that don't match the actual screens and are not always as clear as they could be on the configuration."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"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."
"Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly."
"It should have excellent integration with the other security tools."
"Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
