Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and there are several operating systems that can include the hardware capacities.

"The pricing is great and very reasonable."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."

"AV, IPS, AntiSpam, Sandbox. That's gentlemen set for any basic security, and it was implemented very well. In our reports, the most exciting results belong to AV and IPS. It can be explained by using ThreatCloud - a global knowledge base, which accumulates signatures for all existing and new coming malware, and all the Check Point solutions are always up to date with potential threats."
"Making configuring numerous layers of security policies easy to use was always one of the things I liked most about their firewall solution."

"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."

"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"The reports are very basic."
