Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"The technical support is great."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"The solution can scale well."
"This is a capable appliance and the standard features work well for us."
"The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. When I have used the Sophos solution it is a complete solution, in Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"Some of the features in the graphical user interface do not work, which requires that we used the command-line-interface."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"It needs to improve its ISP load balancing."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"Certain criteria need to be met if you want to scale this solution."
"Sometimes it reboots when you least expect it, and that's the main issue."
"Although manageable, the user interface is a little bit slow and could be improved."
