Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."The most important features with FortiGate are the web filter and application controls. We can control our internet usage and use the web filter for application purposes."
"The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"The solution is stable."
"It's very easy to configure."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the APIs. They are the most widely known."
"The IPS, application and URL filtering, as well as Identity Awareness, are all very valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration with the cloud management extension and the cloud licensing model."
"Security effectiveness is the most valuable feature. Operational efficiency, reporting, and support are also good."
"The program is very stable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to run the gateways as virtual machines in our virtual data center. The tool protects the virtual data centers."
"The most valuable feature I have found in CloudGuard Network Security is the flexibility to rebuild the firewall as needed."
"One of the main characteristics that Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has given us is granularity and visibility."
"Any kind of cloud environment anywhere can be protected through this effortlessly."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The solution can scale well."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"We would like to see a better training platform implemented."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"The migration to TerraForm is a little more complicated, but we made it work."
"The initial deployment using the ARM template in Azure was straightforward, but migrating to Terraform added complexity, although we managed to make it work."
"Check Point CloudGuard is not a feature-centric product because Check Point concentrates on security."
"It's meeting our needs at this time. If I could make it better, it would be by making it more standalone. That would be beneficial to us. I say that because our current platform for virtualization is VMware. The issue isn't any fault of Check Point, it's more how the virtualization platform partners allow for that partnership and integration. There has to be close ties and partnerships between the vendors to ensure interoperability and sup-portability. There is only so far that Check Point, or any security vendor technology can go without the partnership and enablement of the virtualization platform vendor as it relies on "Service Insertion" to maintain optimal performance."
"We have Microsoft CASB cloud app security and it's one of the least compatible firewalls. They really need to look at this, as both Check Point and Microsoft are major players. Why aren't they compatible? If we had Palo Alto then we wouldn't have this problem."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"We did not use the AWS Transit Gateway, and that's one of the things that we're currently using. I believe we will be working with Check Point again, in the near future, to implement it, once they start having proper support for a single customer with multiple accounts. When we were using them, we had to install Check Point on each and every single account."
"Greater automation would reduce the need for manual configuration and management."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
