Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."

"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The flexibility is a great feature."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."

"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 network interface could be better, and it could be cheaper."
"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."
"We feel the product's technical support could be better, as this relates to the solution itself, to the installation of the product, and to having a proper understanding of the case."
"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 solution's support could use improvement."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
