Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"This is an easy solution to deploy."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a security device. It can optimize security on the networks of a company. It actually protects the company from attacks from outside. With FortiGate, you can categorize the users. You can create a group of users that can access all of the websites for their work. You can limit other users' access."
"Their interface is very easy to use, it is without bugs."
"The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"It has been stable so far."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"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."
"The scalability is fine."
"The solution is relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"The features that I have found valuable are the ones for the main purpose we are using Juniper - its firewall to protect our network for our internet access."
"Technical support is perfect."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"There are just some services that aren't available. For example, the Ethernet or point-to-point protocols. They could add these services to their product offering - especially services for ISPs."
"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."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"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."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"It could have features that other products support like blade options and stand-alone endpoint security."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"The centralized management platform could be improved."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
