"It's very good and very stable for businesses. It works very well."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"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."
"The payment function for applications is good."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"Sophos is a stable solution, and we haven't had any bugs or limitations."
"The most valuable is the synchronized security between Sophos XG and Sophos endpoint because it provides a lot of visibility about unknown applications. The endpoint shares the information of unknown applications, and you can learn about those applications and create policies to allow or block those applications."
"Compared to other firewalls that I had looked at, I thought Sophos was the better solution. It just seems to be easier to manage versus Cisco, Fortinet, or one of the other options I was looking at."
"I have found configuring the ports to be easier in Sophos XG compared to the other devices."
"This kind of strategic technology makes it much easier to remove malware and address vulnerabilities quickly."
"It has a very friendly interface like the Cyberoam iNG units, it has customizable policies, it has proper templates that you can even modify, and you can customize the rules, down to each single user."
"The most valuable feature is that it scans all of the data for any kind of malware."
"The most valuable feature, according to the setup we have at our work place here, is the flexibility of the system or the firmware that's running the appliance. It's so flexible, performing multiple rules with different configurations. According to the set up here, we need to implement several firewalls with different access levels, because we have a variety of users. For this requirement, it's very flexible and very easy to use."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"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."
"The UI could be improved."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"We recently did an upgrade on the Sophos XG firmware and we were surprised that after the upgrade, the automatic switch actually we were using did not work anymore."
"The reports could improve, they do not seem complete and more information could be added."
"SD-WAN would benefit from further improvement, particularly in terms of incorporating optimization techniques that are not typically found in traditional firewalls. Nowadays, WAN optimization features are being integrated into many firewalls, and implementing similar capabilities in SD-WAN would enhance its performance and functionality."
"The solution could improve by having better security."
"I used to work with Fortinet, and sometimes I see that the SD-WAN feature could be better because it's much easier in Fortinet."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the policy and simplify the policy-making, as the complexity of it makes it really tough."
"The two main areas where this product needs improvement are routing and reporting."
"I need to open the email to see what it contains and the value of it before I know whether to access it or not."
