Fortinet FortiGate-VM review
Khushru_Mistry
Chief Technology Officer at GM Modular
Simple to use and does a wonderful job in protecting enterprises
At this moment, we believe that Fortinet FortiGate should be improved by injecting more AI because the kind of threats we are seeing are more ransomware threats. Fortinet FortiGate is able to ensure these threats do not enter, but we would prefer to see more proactive alerting mechanisms come out.
SonicWall NSv review
Sumesh Panikkar
Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer at Khansaheb
Provides effective threat prevention and helps improve security
We face some challenges when we upgrade the solution. If I use NSv 400, I can't upgrade to the next generation. We cannot upgrade the VM to the next generation. We have to rebuild a new VM and copy the configurations. We cannot upgrade straightaway. The solution must allow us to upgrade the same machine to a newer version without many changes.
