Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ability to work in proxy mode, which other solutions, such as Palo Alto cannot. There are some features that are better that come at no extra license or subscriptions cost, such as basic SD-WAN. The DLT is useful, other solutions have the same feature too, such as Palo Alto."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"Easy to implement, and it is also reliable."
"The reporting you receive out of this appliance is excellent. You will not need an external management system."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"The interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"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."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The technical support has been good."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."

"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."

"It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier."
"The solution's GUI needs improvement."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"We experienced some technical issues during implementation"
