Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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 VPN is great."
"The most valuable feature is SD-WAN."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"Improvement is needed in the Web Filter quotas to restrict users with allocated quotas."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"Its price could be better."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"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."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"Management could be better. They can improve the management. I think all our customers can't accept firewalls that have standalone management. So, they prefer Fortinet or Palo Alto. But overall, inspection and other features are working fine."
"The optimization is not really ready. If you want very good optimization, you have to add it to the network."
"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."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
