Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"The IPsec tunnels are very easily created, and quite interoperable with devices from other vendors."
"The solution is stable."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"FortiGate firewalls are user-friendly, and I like the security profiling features."
"Our project needs to link two sides through the internet. One of these was in Cairo and the other in another city. We used FortiGate as the integrating solution between the two locations, i.e. the Fortinet 30E & 100E."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"WebBlocker has the best URL category database ever."
"This product offers great protection using the default settings."
"Their centralized console simplifies management for organizations with multiple Fireboxes."
"WatchGuard Firebox's two-factor authentication feature is particularly useful and provides an added layer of protection."
"It protects me against malicious websites, as well as malicious downloads, as a perimeter anti-virus. I've also seen it blocking a lot of pings and different probes."
"The solution has a useful traffic monitor."
"It is a scalable solution."
"[A] valuable feature would be the branch office. We have five offices throughout the United States, and it coordinates the connections of those offices."
"Backup can be improved."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"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 would like some automated custom reporting."
"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."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"It's sometimes not easy to understand and can require specialist assistance."
"The data loss protection works well, but it could be easier to configure. The complexity of data loss protection makes it a more difficult feature to fully leverage. Better integration with third-party, two-factor authentication would be advantageous."
"If they could make the traffic monitoring easier that would be great. I don't use it that frequently, but I would like to see some improvements in the ease of use of that component, so it makes more sense. I know it's a technical component so there's going to be some difficulty trying to make that easier."
"Some of the configuration options are somewhat confusing."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"A 12-hour power outage... got our batteries."
"There is room for improvement on the education side, regarding what does what, rather than just throwing it at a person and assuming they know everything about it. A lot of times, you have to call WatchGuard support to get the solution that will work, rather than their just having it published so that you can fix the problem on your own."
"There is room for improvement in the threat protection, data packet inspection, and performance of the solution. Generally, it's just a lower-end product. It does the job but doesn't do it very well."
