Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"User-friendly and affordable security solution that's recommended for SMB customers. This solution has good technical support."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the SD-WAN and their IP4 policy."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring."
"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"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 security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The most valuable features are the intuitive user interface, ease of use, and reporting."
"Palo Alto firewalls are scalable enough. We have about 110 employees in our company, and we are about to expand to 130."
"We've found the solution offers us good stability."
"This firewall is very good for our customers because they don't have to write their own rules for adding an application."
"Palo Alto has an approach that makes the configuration easier not only for the customers but also for the IT help for the customers."
"The most valuable features are the virtualization of the firewall and the antivirus."
"As long as the solution is kept updated, it's pretty stable."
"Everything I could possibly want has already been implanted in the new version."
"The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"The customization could be improved. Cisco, for example, is much better at this. They need to work to be at least as good as they are."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"I could not configure sFlow from the FortiGate graphical user interface. I realized that the sFlow configuration is available only from the CLI, and discovered that sFlow is not supported on virtual interfaces, such as VDOM links, IPsec, or GRE."
"The security of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"They should implement the features that the other firewalls have."
"There are a lot of bugs in this solution."
"It would be nice if it could easily be integrated with Elasticsearch or Nagios."
"Palo Alto doesn't have extended visibility to the end point in their firewalls."
"If we have issues, they take anywhere from two days to a week to respond. I even wrote to their CEO because there was no response. When it comes to support, this is the worst company."
"In the past, we've had trouble with Palo Alto's application filtering not getting it right. I would not be recommending layer 7 application filtering yet."
"The product should get frequent updates allowing us to add new signatures."
"The tool needs to improve integration with more products from other vendors. I would like the product to add threat intelligence features as well."
