"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"When our customer needs some optimization, along with performance and security. If they want everything in one package, I recommend Forcepoint because they have everything."
"Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is very simple, easy to use, and flexible."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product supports different platforms."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"It's my understanding that more of the current generation features could be brought in. There could be more integration with EDRs, for example."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"Quality control on their firmware versions needs improvement. When they introduce new firmware, there tend to be bugs."
"They should improve the interface to make it more user-friendly."
"They have to just improve its performance when we enable all UTM features. When you enable all the features, the performance of FortiGate, as well as of Sophos and SonicWall, goes down."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"The improvement is related to logs. Instead of the CLI, we should be able to have more insights into the logs of the firewall in the GUI."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"Forcepoint would be improved if there were more training available."
"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."
"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"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."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
