Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The product is very stable, easy to troubleshoot, and configure, so it has reduced the time it takes for support."
"A strong point of FortiGate is that the graphical interface is complete and easy to use, especially if we think there is a list of operations that we are able to perform inside."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"The web filtering facility and application control are the most valuable features from the point of view of our clients. The VPN feature is also quite popular amongst our clients. Two-factor authentication is one of the good features in Fortinet. These features are important for the current scenario of security. Security has become a necessity nowadays. With cyber-attacks becoming more common, protecting an organization's data is one of the major tasks. It is also very stable and scalable, and it is very straightforward to configure. Their technical support is also good."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The signature database and zero-day detection are Fortinet FortiGate's most valuable features."
"The tool's deployment is rapid. Its dashboard is also useful. It's easy to deploy both on-premises and in Azure. In an office with VMware running, deployment is a simple process. Similarly, in Azure, deployment is easy and scalable. Adding more CPUs is a straightforward task – just shut it down, modify the security, and restart. This ease of use translates into cost and resource savings, and faster deployment times."
"It's a high-performance device. The network performance is also really good. We check how much time it takes for the servers. Our network performance has increased since using this solution."
"When browsing, it scans sites to ensure that they are safe and that no harm can be caused."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"Its blades and VSLS (Virtual System Load Sharing) work fine."
"The feature most valuable to me is the NDTX blade that Check Point provides, and I like how the solution is not vulnerable."
"Auto Scaling is one of the features that make me want to choose CloudGuard over actual HW."
"Customers appreciate the CME plugin for automatically understanding assets within the cloud. This information appears in the manager, allowing users to tag the assets and adjust policies and rules accordingly."
"I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went."
"The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The installation phase was easy."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"Its price could be better."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"The solution could improve to have a DLP feature."
"CloudGuard Network Security's pricing is expensive. We have encountered issues with its licensing."
"I think they have pretty much mastered what can be done. There are some nuances like when you fail over from one cluster member to the other, the external IP address takes about two minutes to fail over."
"The solution needs to support more hypervisors."
"As an administrator, I can say that among all of the Check Point products I have been working with so far, the Virtual Systems solution is one of the most difficult."
"The product needs to offer multi-tenancy."
"The initial setup is complex and could be made simpler."
"Its architecture and user interface need improvement. The user experience for this solution also needs to be improved, particularly in implementation, management, and operations."
"It is not a very secure product."
"As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."
"Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement."
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"Technical support could be improved."
