We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Firewall and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"What I like the most is the configuration and that it's simple, and straightforward to maintain."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"It's very fast and easy to configure."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy."
"It's protecting the organization against the impact of cyber threats and cybersecurity. We run manufacturing plants that have hazardous material, and we don't want that manufacturing process to be impacted by break-in exposure, cyber threats, or any other similar thing."
"Sourcefire has been a great addition. The visibility and control have been nice."
"The most valuable feature is IPS. It's a feature that's very interesting for tackling the most current attacks."
"The most valuable feature is that it's secure."
"The stability of Cisco ASA is excellent compared to other products on the market. Because of our customer experience as an integrator company, our clients never report any performance problems. We have a good performance reputation with Cisco ASA."
"It's quite a capable box for UTM."
"They are easy to maintain."
"The return on investment is not going to be restricted to just the box... Now, these genres have been expanded to cyber, to third-party integrations, having integrated logging, having integrated micro and macro segmentations. The scope has been widened, so the ROI, eventually, has multiplied."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the view into the application."
"The product is very easy to configure."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The server appliance is good."
"We see ROI in the sense that we don't have to react because it stops anything from hurting the network. We can stop it before we have a bigger mess to clean up."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"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."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Cisco ASDM is a problem because it is old."
"When we first got it, we were doing individual configuring. Now, there is a way to manage from one location."
"The reporting and other features are nice, but there is an issue with applying the configuration. That part needs some improvement."
"Some individuals find the setup and configuration challenging."
"In the future, I would like to be able to use an IP phone over a VPN connection."
"One feature I would like to see, that Firepower doesn't have, is email security. Perhaps in the future, Cisco will integrate Cisco Umbrella with Firepower. I don't see why we should have to pay for two separate products when both could be integrated in one box."
"The solution is overcomplicated in some senses. Simplifying it would be an improvement."
"Virtual patching would be helpful for servers that are not able to update patches due to compatibility issues."
"Certain features in Trellix Network Detection and Response, such as using AL-type commands, may initially pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with such commands. However, once users become accustomed to the system, it becomes easier to use."
"It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It is very expensive, the price could be better."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."
"Stability issues manifested in terms of throughput maximization."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
"The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this."
