We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Trellix Network Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The most valuable features are the possibility of having one fabric for switching on security."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"It is easy to manage, and it doesn't need much knowledge from the team. It is a stable device, and there are many features that are included out of the box."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"Very functional and good for detecting malicious traffic."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The solution can scale."
"If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution."
"It protects from signature-based attacks and signature-less attacks. The sandboxing technology, invented by FireEye, is very valuable. Our customers go for FireEye because of the sandboxing feature. When there is a threat or any malicious activity with a signature, it can be blocked by IPS. However, attacks that do not have any signatures and are very new can only be blocked by using the sandboxing feature, which is available only in FireEye. So, FireEye has both engines. It has an IPS engine and a sandbox engine, which is the best part. You can get complete network protection by using FireEye."
"Initially, we didn't have much visibility around what is occurring at our applications lower level. For instance, if we are exposed to any malicious attacks or SQL injections. But now we've integrated FireEye with Splunk, so now we get lots of triggers based on policy content associated with FireEye. The solution has allowed for growth and improvement in our information security and security operations teams."
"The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."
"The most valuable feature is the network security module."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco."
"When we cluster the two Fortinet FortiGate boxes together we have some issues."
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run."
"We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
"The analytics are weak."
"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."
"The technical manuals, at times, have images that don't match the actual screens and are not always as clear as they could be on the configuration."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"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."
"They can maybe consider supporting some compliance standards. When we are configuring rules and policies, it can guide whether they are compliant with a particular compliance authority. In addition, if I have configured some rules that have not been used, it should give a report saying that these rules have not been used in the last three months or six months so that I disable or delete those rules."
"Management of the appliance could be greatly improved."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Improvements could be achieved through greater integration capabilities with different firewall solutions. Integrating with the dashboard itself for different firewalls so users can also pull tags into their firewall dashboard."
"A better depth of view, being able to see deeper into the management process, is what I'd like to see."
"Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone."
"FireEye Network Security should have better integration with other vendors' firewalls or proxies, such as Palo Alto and Fortinet. Files that are being submitted should happen through the API or automatically."
