Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The usage in general is pretty good."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"The pricing is great and very reasonable."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The technical support is very good."
"The VPN server feature is the most valuable. It is integrated with Radius and AAA for doing accounting and authentication. Insight view is also an important feature for me at this time. It allows me to assess our network traffic. I also like the firewall feature. The BSD kernel has a packet filter. It is one of the most solid frameworks for firewalls. Its user interface is one of the best interfaces I have used."
"I feel that its valuable features are that it is simple and free."
"The initial setup is easy. It only takes 15-30 minutes to deploy."
"It has an open license. It works very well, and there is an update every month."
"The IDS and IPS features are valuable. From the usability perspective, there is a lot of good documentation. As IT professionals, we found it very easy to configure the firewall. It was easy to configure and use."
"We can open a new VPN connection easily. It's much easier than with Fortinet in our experience."
"OPNsense is easy to use and open source."
"It needs more available central management."
"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"It would be a benefit if Fortinet would release a one-stop solution that is better integrated with other products and an automated emergency response system."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"The support for OPNsense is good because we have documents available on the internet. The support could improve a little."
"An area for improvement in OPNsense is the hardware, which needs to be updated more frequently. DNS blocking is another good feature I want to be added to the solution. pfSense has a peer-blocking feature that I also want to see in OPNsense."
"The interface isn't so friendly user. But we have some technicians here who are quite confident with this tool. OPNSense could maybe add sets of rules so it's simpler to manage different groups with particular needs."
"We did not like the fact that you have to configure everything with the graphic user interface. We have used other firewalls, such as FortiGate, that you can configure via code. OPNsense is not easy to integrate. When you are deploying via GitHub or another source repository, this is not possible. That's one thing we didn't like much."
"On the customer-side, because I'm a small business, I need a cheaper or free solution option."
"In terms of improvement, the performance could be enhanced."
"The interface of the solution is an area with shortcomings."
"The reporting part could be better."
