"The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."
"Initial setup is straightforward. There weren't too many issues with setting it up. It takes one hour or so."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"Anti-Spam web content filterinG."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"I find the security we are able to do with the policies to be valuable. The monitoring is valuable as well."
"We like the unified threat management for defense-in-depth. We can terminate our site-to-site and remote access VPNs with it."
"The most valuable feature is the protection available, and then ease of use and flexibility."
"It is very stable with no issues. The firewall's been up for the past 35 days non-stop. It's performed great. It has performed as it should perform."
"Technical support is good."
"The stability is very nice."
"Access restriction and IP whitelisting are the most valuable features."
"SonicWall TZ is a very cost-effective solution that provides good security."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The interface is very good."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The graphical user interface of Fortinet's FortiGate product does not function well with text-based interfaces."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by adding enhancements to FortiMail, FortiSOAR, and FortiDeceptor."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"I would like to see a SonicWall integration with the DLP tool, this would be interesting. Data Loss Prevention integration."
"FortiGate has a client DNS in the firewall, but SonicWall doesn't have that. To create or configure a site-to-site VPN tunnel, we have to give a DNS name. Currently, we have to get the DNS name from a third party and then include it in SonicWall, whereas FortiGate has its own client DNS, so it provides a DNS name, and it does not require a third party. There should be a graphical option to view the network utilization and bandwidth usage."
"I can't get the support that I need from SonicWall."
"We have been facing issues with reporting."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Its pricing can be better. It is very expensive."
"If the operation increases and the bandwidth consumption increases, it does not perform as per the expectations."
"You need to be a certificate holder to set it up and configure it. It's really important because it looks easy, but it is complex. You need to have the knowledge and experience. But this is normal for technical products. It's not a product for regular user. It's for technical people. You need to have skills."
"The common center facility that Untangle provides should be available on-premises. There are great corporations here in Mexico that like the Untangle solution, but they don't like the fact that the monitoring and access to the appliance are in the cloud. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"The ability to setup a DDNS for each WAN independently would be a very handy feature."
"On their low-end appliance, they could have more memory and the largest storage space. The low-end appliance comes with a too-small hard drive, and it could use a little extra room. It only comes with about 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory, and the hardware space is only 40 gigs, which is really small."
"The hardware can be improved."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The pricing is not as good as it was some time ago. They've since skipped offering a lot of individual features."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
