Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ability to work in proxy mode, which other solutions, such as Palo Alto cannot. There are some features that are better that come at no extra license or subscriptions cost, such as basic SD-WAN. The DLT is useful, other solutions have the same feature too, such as Palo Alto."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"It has been stable so far."
"The only firewall able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. Can detect unauthorized devices plugged into the network, which standard firewalls can't do."
"It's a reliable firewall and very stable, for both the hardware and applications it is stable."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering."
"The technical support is quite good."
"What I like the most about Juniper is that they have the same CLI on all routers, switches, and firewalls. If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"Another loophole with Hillstone T-Series is that when we connect through WiFi and turn our hot spot on, all who connect through the hotspot get all the functions, and the security does not work."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"The workplace management console needs improvement. It should be a little bit more developed. Also, the interface needs a bit more improvement."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"The big thing is performance. With all the features turned on it slows down."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
