Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It has improved our organization with control data."
"I only deal with it from a security analyst's point of view. I don't really get into the features of the actual FortiGate. From the security point of view, it works, and it does its job."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"UTM/NGFW features and FortiCloud for logs and backups are awesome."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"Fortinet FortiGate appears to be scalable."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"On a scale from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being the best I'd give Juniper SRX an overall rating of eight because of its' competitive price."
"The virtualization feature is the most valuable feature. Sometimes customers are requesting a private connection using mobile data when they are connecting to remote sites."
"We think they have a good interface, the operating system is good, it's robust. It has plenty of great features, and the relation between the cost and benefits works for our business."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"It's easily scalable."
"The deployment is quite easy and fast."
"The firewall features and the routing capability are the most valuable."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"FortiGate support could do some improvements on their IPv6 configuration. Right now it's still in the very early stage for utilizing in an enterprise level network environment."
"I could not configure sFlow from the FortiGate graphical user interface. I realized that the sFlow configuration is available only from the CLI, and discovered that sFlow is not supported on virtual interfaces, such as VDOM links, IPsec, or GRE."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"In some cases, customers encounter issues related to network interfaces, while others prioritize security concerns."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"We purchased three devices and all three have been replaced under RMA."
