Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls."
"The interface is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"The solution is stable."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"Most people are using enterprise applications remotely, and there is no license for SSL VPN, or in other words point-to-site. There is no limit on that. On other devices there is a specific limit and you have to pay per use for SSL VPN."
"I would most definitely recommend this solution to other people."
"It is a very stable solution."
"We can create a domain to separate and segregate some functions, some services."
"The databases and its signatures are its most important features."
"It safeguards against cyber attacks."
"The most outstanding feature is being able to centralize each of the functions in a single device."
"The solution is very robust."
"It provides visibility and drives organizational security."
"The UTM platform has been the most valuable."
"The filtering was very good."
"The ease of use could be improved."
"Tunnel flapping was one of the major things I had seen wherein your internet link remains but your VPN tunnel is down. However, since I got a fix from the TAC team, I have not noticed it, but the customer complained a few times that they couldn't access the internet because of this problem."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Difficult to add or define, and not that easy to configure and manage."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"Its interface could be better."
"The price could be better."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"If you experience an attack it can take a very long time to find a solution."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"Some features that could be improved are advanced threat protection, sandboxing, and vulnerability management."
"What has been the issue of firewalls is they ask me for policies and content filtering application control and all these features that are now part of Harmony."
"The solution could be improved if there was a better way to report. The reporting functionality is not really good. Even though it's not the major function. Maybe adding a way to make a custom report."
"As we don't have a representative of Check Point in Mozambique, this makes it very difficult when we have some issues to resolve."
"The interface needs improvement."
"Specifically on the user experience, sometimes the set up of things, such as the VPN SSL, takes a lot of time to load and a lot of time to get up and running on every session."
"Technical support was very bad because the supplier who sold it to us, wasn't very supportive, and he wouldn't giving us direct links to the OEM."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
