"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, application control, IPS control, and FortiSandbox."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"It is stable and scalable. In addition, their support is great. When you ask them for something, they provide support, and if required, they also involve the R&D team to help you to resolve the issues in your configuration."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the traffic and the logging. They have real-time logins for traffic logs. Troubleshooting was very easy for me."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is SD-WAN."
"The VPN is great."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"The people we deal with is a local partner in Cambodia and we can get good support from them."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"The built-in features function as intended, providing exceptional value."
"You might try Sangfor if you are on a tight budget. The price is affordable, and Sangfor offers a lot of features. We don't have any complaints about Sangfor."
"Sangfor is a good solution that provides a WAF and firewall solution. Most other vendors, like Sophos and Fortinet and Cisco, only provide one solution. That's a valuable feature of Sangfor."
"The level of support provided to local companies is good. They transform their application control and other settings according to that country."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"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 think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"Its interface is complex when compared with a firewall like FortiGate. Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall needs a management console, whereas FortiGate doesn't need any console. When you have a few devices, a console is not really necessary. It's good to have a private console only when you have a lot of devices."
"The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"They need to increase the local support here. There are also some bugs or fixes on which they need to work. They very well know about these bugs. In terms of licensing, I would like them to either increase the number of features in a single license or make licensing more flexible."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"You do need knowledge of the solution in order to set the product up properly."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"The interface and user experience are horrible."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
"Sangfor NGAF could improve by refining its application control policies, especially in addressing challenges with certain types of applications."
"The firewall system needs gradual improvements because there are more threats and challenges every day."
"Sangfor need greater exposer in the market because the market is mainly saturated by Fortinet. The user experience of Fortinet is quite different compared to NGAF. If we want to switch our users from Fortinet to NGAF, we have to convince them that the user experience will be much easier once once they start to use it."
