"The customization of firewall rules provides great value to our customers as it allows them to lock things up in the way that they desire. When it is used for internal access, with a VPN in place for remote workers, the firewalling services provided by Azure, such as the default services that can be turned on, are applied. However, the use of a software-based virtual firewall gives us greater flexibility in introducing security controls for customers who are publishing applications that are publicly accessible from the public cloud. This virtual firewall provides an additional layer of security and more extensive security control options to ensure the protection of our customers' valuable information and assets."
"SonicWall NSV is easy to use, and you can use it to manage the logs easily."
"The security of this system is fantastic, including the IPS and IDS."

"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"Its price could be better."
"To the best of my knowledge, Fortinet does not have a CASB solution and Fortinet does not have a Zero trust solution."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"Its customer service could be better."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
"It has been brought to our attention by a few customers that they are dissatisfied with the fact that our virtualized service is only offered as a subscription option on the cloud. However, it is worth noting that many other similar services are also offered through a subscription model on the cloud and not through perpetual licensing. It is unclear why these customers would have an issue with this subscription service when so many others are utilizing similar methods."
"An area that could be improved is the export and import settings functionality."
"I would like to see the reporting opened up and have several more opportunities for automatic reports."
"There are limitations to bandwidth management."
"SonicWall NSV's SSL VPN could increase its number of users to 100-plus users."
