We performed a comparison between Check Point NGFW and Huawei NGFW based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"It has improved our security capabilities."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"Our security improved from being able to put in rules and close off unwanted traffic."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"I really like the captive portal feature for our guest network. It has nice VLAN features in terms of separating our network. The anti-virus is also good."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"A strong point of FortiGate is the graphical interface is complete and easy to use."
"The management of the firewall and advanced routing is great."
"Its functionality is highly satisfactory."
"The most valuable feature is the highly integrated NGFW features such as the IPS or Check Point Identity Awareness, which makes Check Point the best choice on the market."
"The technical services always replied in a very fast and effective way."
"The small business hardware device was powerful and easy to set up."
"It is easy to configure and it is a valuable antivirus protection. I especially like the IPS feature of this product."
"We used Check Point for implementation, and they are top-notch. They know the hardware and software better than anyone."
"The solution can scale."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"Check Point should include additional management choices; for example, Check Point does not offer full management support via browser."
"I would like there to be a way to run packets that capture more easily in the GUI environment. Right now, if we want to read packet captures, we have to do so from the command line."
"The source package is a bit more expensive than its competitors."
"The smart console is heavy."
"Hopefully, in the future, these will be much more plug-and-play and orchestrated from a single administration console."
"They have few predefined reports and it would be nice to increase them since the logs are excellent."
"One of my issues with Check Point is the stability. There have been too many bugs, over the years, when I compare them with other vendors. Their QA team should do better work before releasing their GA versions."
"They could make the licensing a bit easier to deal with, especially for enterprise-level options."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
