Sangfor NGAF Scalability

Osama Muhammad - PeerSpot reviewer

Sangfor have divided their firewalls into several categories, so you have multiple options with regard to scalability and how many users you need to account for.

For example, if you've got low bandwidth requirements, you might want to deploy the 5200 model. But as you go into higher bandwidths, you will have to deploy the 5300 model or higher.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It's not a ten because sometimes scalability depends on the hardware, and every hardware has limitations. So they can improve that. Otherwise, we have to purchase new hardware.

There are 200 end-users around using this solution in our company.

The solution is not really scalable because it is limited by the capability of the box. You cannot scale out or up because there are hardware limitations. 

Scalability is rated a zero out of ten.

Sangfor is not highly scalable. If we need better performance or additional features, we have to replace the entire unit with a higher-capacity model. It has limitations, like only four available WAN ports, and expanding requires adding cards. Currently, we use another router for internal DMZ.

The tool is very scalable and customizable. It fulfills all our requirements. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. More than 200 people in our organization use the solution. We plan to increase the usage as our company and its requirements grow.

This solution is scalable. We can add many features and lengths and expand according to our needs.

The IT specialists and engineers in my organization use this solution. Our whole organization is under the protection of Sangfor NGAF. The solution has footprints in India and Europe and many government agencies use Sangfor NGAF in Pakistan.

For deployment, we needed three people who were all IT specialists, and only one of them was from Sangfor. As a result, we deployed it with very few resources, and there were no recurring charges. Also, most people are very well-versed in technology and can multitask.

It is a very scalable solution. I can't say that the tool is as scalable as Fortinet FortiGate's latest version.

There are around 3,000 users of the tool in my company.

The scalability offered by the product is neither bad nor good.

Around 150 users of the product, and it is double in number if you consider the handheld devices in my company.

The scalability of Sangfor NGAF is good.

We are using the Sangfor NGAF as our firewall, we have approximately 6,000 to 8,000 end users who are passing through. We have approximately 10 to 15 people using the Sangfor SSL VPN feature remotely from home.

It's easily scalable. They've got different models of the software upgrade, so if you want to move your product and version, it can be scaled. We are expanding soon as we are building a new hospital in the region so we will soon need to scale up and increase the capacity and capability of the NGAF.

Our clients are a mix of small, medium, and enterprise clients. In Pakistan, if a customer has 500 plus users or an endpoint, we consider it medium. However, we consider more than 1,000 users as a large enterprise.

What we are using now doesn't have the SFP+, only the gigabit ethernet ports. We need to purchase a different model to accommodate the one with SFP+ because what we have now doesn't accommodate additional expansion slots for SFP+. We probably have 100 users who communicate with our head office from outside our region.

The scalability is good. You normally plan for a certain number of users in your environment so that you can size the firewall accordingly. Sangfor provides a buffer for growth of between 15%-30%.
