Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the different types of profiling. It has been the most effective for me. The WAF and the antivirus profile are the most effective in network protection."
"This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"It is very flexible to use."
"The solution is extremely reliable."
"We feel that we can trust the security, and our assets and business are well protected. We need to have trust in it, but we also see that it works. We have a security company that has tested that it works."
"It provides security for our company and users."
"The IPS, as well as the malware features, are the two things that we use the most and they're very valuable."
"It is pretty stable. I haven't seen many issues during the past four years."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"An eight because it's a good security solution. It's more mature than its competitors."
"The customer service/technical support is very good with this solution."
"They are easy to maintain."
"Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats."
"The most valuable feature is MVX, which tests all of the files that have been received in an email."
"It is stable and quite protective. It has a lot of features to scan a lot of malicious things and vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities."
"It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"The pricing could always be better."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"One issue that I have had is that sometimes I need to monitor the traffic, so I need to filter it according to the user and which user is using it the most. I experience a bottleneck most of the time, particularly at the peak time when the number of contracts and users are at maximum."
"The cost is very high. Most organizations cannot afford it."
"I would like the ability to drill down into certain reports because currently, that cannot be done."
"The stability could be better because we have a lot of issues with the stability of Cisco Firepower."
"It is hard to control the bandwidth of end-users with a Cisco Firewall. That is the main issue I've faced. I used Mikrotik for many years for this very reason. Mikrotik has the option to set a bandwidth restriction for a single IP or complete segments. Cisco should add this option to their firewall."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"Third-party integrations could be improved."
"The virtual firewalls don't work very well with Cisco AnyConnect."
"The annual subscription cost is a bit high. They should try to make it comparable to other offerings. We have a number of Chinese products here in Pakistan, which are already, very cheap and have less annual maintenance costs compared to Cisco."
"It is not a very secure product."
"The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit."
"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"We'd like the potential for better scaling."
"The initial setup was complex because of the nature of our environment. When it comes to the type of applications and functions which we were looking at in terms of identifying malicious threats, there would be some level of complexity, if we were doing it right."
