Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"It has improved our security capabilities."

"It's very easy to configure."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"It is very fast to implement."
"It prevents us from being hacked and delivers information about who and where the attack came from."
"It has the most advanced security features, for example, layer 3 and layer 7 firewall capabilities and the end team and IPS protection. It also has IPS, and it has very good functioning of cloning services. You don't actually have to touch the device. If you have multiple companies in different countries, you don't really require this device to be touched. You can get it delivered directly to any office of a country, and then you can simply put your configuration over the cloud. It's very simplified and easy to manage. It gives a very good granular visibility about your network. Earlier, a lot of things were lacking in the network. We were unable to identify where the problem was, but after implementing Meraki MX, we are able to dig down and identify where is the problem. We can easily and quickly identify the sources and the root causes of the issues."
"Point-to-point VPNs can dynamically follow IP changes with no need for static IPs."

You turn it on, stick the key in there, activate it, and then you're done. Meraki MX does what my customers need at the end of the day, so I also like that."
"Both the scalability and the scalability are great with Meraki MX."
"We can utilize our own network rather than paying for a private one."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"So far, the performance and reliability of the product have supported our company's critical network traffic."
"You might try Sangfor if you are on a tight budget. The price is affordable, and Sangfor offers a lot of features. We don't have any complaints about Sangfor."
"The price versus value is good because the solution is less expensive than Sophos, Fortinet, or SonicWall."
"The absolute best part of Sangfor NGAF is their support. It's a 24/7 support channel, and the last time I requested their assistance I got a reply within three minutes. They helped solve the problem immediately."
"The stability of Sangfor NGAF is good."
"Particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect inbound and outbound traffic."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Its customer service could be better."

"Occasional issues with breaches which are dealt with expediently."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"The firewall system needs gradual improvements because there are more threats and challenges every day."
"Sangfor could improve by providing better real-time reporting, as the current reports don't offer the level of detail we need, especially for runtime insights."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"I believe that IAM and NGFW need to merge into a single box, instead of there being two separate box solutions."
