We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. Anyone can easily maintain it."
"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."
"The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring."
"The solution is very user friendly. The user interface in particular is quite nice."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"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."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"I like the Firewall and the IPS."
"One of the most valuable features is having the ability to cluster multiple firewalls even if they are different versions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"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."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient security options."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"The optimization is not really ready. If you want very good optimization, you have to add it to the network."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."
"Its management center should be easier to use. The management interface of Forcepoint is unique and a little bit different from some of the firewall solutions on which people might have worked before. Sometimes, the customers say that it is not very friendly, and we help them with how to use this management interface. It just takes a little bit of time, and after some time, it gets easy to manage or use. It is quite similar to Palo Alto, Fortinet, and legacy Juniper solutions. Their support should be faster. We have received complaints that they are not responding fast, which is not good for the vendor and us."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
