Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Whenever we raise a complaint with FortiGate, their response and resolution times are minimal."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper SRX is that it is plug-and-play. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities in one device."
"CLI: Junos CLI is very easy to use, and it is also very easy to find back items in the configuration and to change them."
"I like the Junos OS, which has been very good for me. It's very clever."
"The user interface is 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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the security cloud ACP and KPP features."
"It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good."
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"The pricing could be reduced or include the first year warranty."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"Fortinet needs more memory to save the log files. We need it to save the logs on the hardware and not in the cloud. I know this feature is available in FortiCloud, but if we need this log locally, it is not available."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"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."
"NGN, reporting and controls."
"The configuration is difficult and it should be easier."
"The GUI needs to be easier and more helpful for users who don't have security experience."
"it would be more powerful if Juniper brought out a security product other than the firewall, like anti-spam, endpoint protection, etc. Customers who want to deploy security solutions are not just thinking about firewalls... Juniper should have an end-to-end solution, from the endpoint to the network level."
"Juniper SRX could improve by adding an IPX feature."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"I would like to have a better web UI for administration. Juniper could simplify the web UI and make it more compatible with mobile devices."
"Juniper SRX's UI is very bad."
"Customer support and AV are both lacking and are really hard to come to you when the product is installed. Those are the two major points that they need to work on."
