Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable. It is a resilient appliance. I never had an issue with it in terms of any security breaches."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features."
"The Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a scalable product."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the console management."
"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"This is a good security product."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Application management can be improved."
"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could be improved."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"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."
"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."
"There are occasional bugs."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"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."
