"It's very easy to configure."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"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 stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"It is a stable solution, and there are no issues so far."
"I like the Firewall and the IPS."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"The Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a scalable product."
"The blocking, based on the signal provided, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly."
"The solution offers sandboxing, which can be integrated at any time."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"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 product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"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 product is very easy to install."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"They need to improve their alerts."
"The ability to dynamically change policies could be improved."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"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 should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."
"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."
"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."
"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 needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
