Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager."
"FortiGate is on the cheaper end, and it offers good value."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The GUI is good."
"The security fabric is excellent."
"We purchased Fortinet because of the pricing, its functionality, because it met our requirements, and the total cost of ownership over five years was quite reasonable. In the market, Fortinet is rated quite well."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."

"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"The integration with third-party tools may be something that they should work on."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"The debugging and troubleshooting has room for improvement."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"The web-cache feature which was previously on the FortiGate device, but was deleted with the recent upgrade should be returned. It was a very valuable feature for us."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"The support system could be improved."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"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."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"If you have another brand of VPN where you have to put an SSL VPN between two devices, Barracuda doesn't support that at a certain point. You can't actually build the VPN between Barracuda and a different device of a different brand."
"Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
"Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly."
"It should have excellent integration with the other security tools."
