"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"The interface is very good."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"The interface is very user-friendly and it is quite easy to use."
"I wanted to go to a software-defined WAN and in Barracuda they have a specific protocol called TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture). You can create a master policy over the internet and it allows you to do Quality of Services on top of it. That is really helpful for me."
"The solution is stable."
"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"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."
"It protects from distributed denial-of-service attacks with Screen Options."
"It's easily scalable."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"Most of our clients use it as a traditional firewall, blocking Layer 3 and Layer 4, blocking by transport."
"I like the Junos OS, which has been very good for me. It's very clever."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"The scalability is fine."
"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 could benefit by simplifying some of their processes."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"When you do any commit, it locks your next access. If you are making a change to the device, from the security standpoint it's fine, but from the admin side it's not good. When you make changes, after each and every one it becomes locked."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"The price could be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"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."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"Juniper SRX Series Firewall has to improve its web content site, like web filtration."
"The capacity can be limiting. We have outgrown its capacity. You can only scale up to a certain extent, depending on the device purchased."
"The product only has basic features."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls."
