Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very user friendly. We are utilizing most of the features, like content filtering. The firewall is powerful."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"The solution has very good threat and content filtering switches."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"The solution has good features."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The hardware is stable."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"We sometimes have issues with FortiGate's routing table in the latest firmware update. We had to downgrade the device because our customers complained about bugs."
"Lacks training for new features."
"My only complaint about FortiGate is a lack of QinQ VLAN tunneling. I haven't found this feature in any Fortinet product. You can do this on all Cisco routers, including the smaller models. However, QinQ isn't available on the biggest, most expensive Fortinet units. They still don't have that. I think now we're on software version 6.0, and they still haven't found a solution for QinQ. It isn't a dealbreaker, but that's my main complaint."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve if it had a cloud-managed solution."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"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."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability."
"It could use more tutorials."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"Juniper vSRX is expensive."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
