Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"I am "headache free" that I don't have to categorize all the websites and that security has been pre categorized by the people, and that the services are getting updated. At least one part of my problem is over."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"The most valuable features of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall are the user-friendly UI, and accessing the solution is simple."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how you can commit, check, and back out of a configuration."
"I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance."
"We're primarily using Juniper's EPA feature, but not the other things. We use it to manage different points of firewalling of routing."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"Technical support is good. They quickly respond, and they even have local help here. They can actually give you an answer very quickly."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is good."
"SonicWall NSSP is stable and scalable too."
"It has been delivering results efficiently. Its configurations and updates have been easy. It is also user-friendly."
"The VPN functionality is really good. Overall, the whole device is very easy to manage. The software that comes with it is also good."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"We have an issue with hotel guest vouchers."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"FortiOS is not simple."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful."
"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"Sometimes committing configurations takes a lot of time in Juniper because of the connections, and it could be a little bit faster."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"We'd like to improve the stability and the kill rate."
"Improvements can be made to the GUI. The GUI can be improved by creating policies to handle IPS requirements. The configuration should be a one-step process. This would make it easier to complete the setup to register the time of operation."
"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."
"To compare with Fortinet, Juniper needs to improve their security features."
"Ongoing costs are something that we need to manage and make sure that we're getting value on."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"The solution's stability and scalability also need improvement."
"Its reporting functions can be improved. It has decent reporting, but you got to pay a lot more money for it. That's where it begins to fall apart. It comes with minimal zero reporting unless you buy some extra modules. With those extra modules, you can get all the data, but it takes a while to put together what you need for your customer. It is for technical people, but there is no executive summary of the reporting."
"No security product is foolproof against hackers, intruders, and other such things. As a security product, they have to keep pace in terms of protection from new hackers and intruders."
"The user interface, the GUI, could be improved."
