Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"LinkGreat firewall capabilities"
"We were looking for the VPN feature and controlling the inflow and outflow of all the traffic within the site and across the sites. We are also using it for the VPN and VLANs."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and the UI. It has always provided me with what I needed. I have no need for additional costs that other solutions have, such as Sophos."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"It is easy to use. We chose this product for the possibility to have virtual domains (VDOMs). We are building another company in the group, and we would like to split the firewalling rules and policies between these two companies. Each company would be able to manage its own policies and security rules, which is an advantage of Fortinet FortiGate. We can define VDOMs, and every company can manage its own VDOM as if it has its own physical firewall, but in fact, we would be using the same physical appliance because we are also using the same internet lines. So, it allows us to reuse the existing resources without the disadvantage of having to compromise on policies and security. Each company can choose its own way of working."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The solution is scalable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the VPN, which ensures that people working remotely have a secure connection."
"The features that I have found most valuable are first the Web Filter and the Web Application Firewall SD-Wan on Version 18. Additionally, RED Tunnels allows a Sophos vital to speak to another Sophos vital in headquarters."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"I've tried out Sophos XG a little. It has a good interface that's very user-friendly, but I haven't used all of its functions because I'm only configuring and running the system."
"Because of the pandemic, the VPN is the most valuable feature."
"I like the fact that it can self remove malware and do updates on the cloud via Sophos Central."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"Usually, we sell the bundle with the UTM or threat management piece with IPS, IDS. Other providers, such as Palo Alto, are ahead in terms of safe functionality. So, for me, delivering truly safe service is probably something that still needs to be improved."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"In the Firewall, the Intrusion Prevention System can be improved."
"Fortinet surpasses Sophos in terms of support, particularly with its comprehensive five-one feature console."
"The security of Sophos XG could be improved."
"The time taken by Sophos XG's support team to respond to and resolve an issue is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I'd like to see better reporting. While the logs are great, the reports are not."
"The solution is tied to the US dollar. You need to pay whatever the equivalent is in your own currency, and, if the exchange is bad, it can really add to the cost."
"Recently, I've had a problem with updating things."
"Its price should be improved. Its features are pretty okay, but the price is the area where we have to fight more. They should do something about the price structure."
