Manager, Information Technology Operation/Presales at TechMonarch
A stable solution with an intuitive interface and quick customer service
I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate, WatchGuard, Sophos, and SonicWall. I'm not as comfortable with SonicWall because of their UI and limitations. I prefer Fortinet above all other options. When it comes to configuration, I am confident in my ability to handle various tasks, including creating policies such as firewall rules, web policies, and application policies. Additionally, I can configure VPNs and implement load balancing, among other tasks. Overall, I feel much more comfortable working with Fortinet. Fortinet has made significant improvements by integrating AI with firewalls for threat analysis and prevention. In the past 2-3 years, they have launched FortiSASE and SIEM, and they also provide SOC services. Both Palo Alto and Fortinet FortiGate are excellent. While Fortinet FortiGate comes at higher prices, the functionality and support justify the cost. They promptly resolve firmware issues and inform all support providers about configuration changes.

Remote work security has improved and web filtering now protects users from risky sites
The best features Barracuda CloudGen Firewall offers in my opinion are flexibility in deployment, basic SD-WAN, edge firewall, and application visibility and web filtering. Out of flexibility in deployment, SD-WAN, edge firewall, application visibility, and web filtering, the one that has had the biggest impact for my team is basic web filtering to back up on devices. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall offers a cost-effective SD-WAN for our small organization, even for the smaller sites. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall has positively impacted my organization by serving as both our primary edge firewalls and our SD-WAN concentrator and endpoints. We have noticed some return on investments, especially since it is very cost-effective for any type of organization. It prevents IBR attacks and has helped us during this pandemic. It has a good, easy-to-use interface.
