Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The response is very quick and they can visually resolve our problems in a short period."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and the UI. It has always provided me with what I needed. I have no need for additional costs that other solutions have, such as Sophos."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"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."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"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."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"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."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"The command feature is valuable."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The solution has good features."
"There aren't really any negative aspects to discuss."
"The reports are very basic."
"Its customer service could be better."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"As far as wanting more scalability or things in the network diagram, it's going to cost you."
"The scalability could be better."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program."
"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."
"he stability could be improved."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
