Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"The simplicity of the product is great. It's very easy to use, which is a compliment we get all the time in terms of feedback."
"The security features are about the best that I've seen anywhere."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Good performance, stability, and virtual domain ability."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"The UI is quite good."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"The initial setup is complex."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"The scalability could be better."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"Backup can be improved."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
