Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The web filtering facility and application control are the most valuable features from the point of view of our clients. The VPN feature is also quite popular amongst our clients. Two-factor authentication is one of the good features in Fortinet. These features are important for the current scenario of security. Security has become a necessity nowadays. With cyber-attacks becoming more common, protecting an organization's data is one of the major tasks. It is also very stable and scalable, and it is very straightforward to configure. Their technical support is also good."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"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."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"The people we deal with is a local partner in Cambodia and we can get good support from them."
"One of the most valuable features is having the ability to cluster multiple firewalls even if they are different versions."
"The blocking, based on the signal provided, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature is the console management."
"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"The support is great. They also have very good categorization. It's very good. It captures a lot of threats."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"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."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"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 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."
"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."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
"Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"MTBF: Hardware failure is more common when compared to SonicWall or Cisco ASA."
"Lacks training for new features."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"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."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"The optimization is not really ready. If you want very good optimization, you have to add it to the network."
"The security features need to be improved."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
