Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable."
"The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Whenever I need something, Fortinet improves and updates the software for me."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"Technical support has been good."
"It does give certain protection for everything that is well configured on our McAfee server. We have good protection with it. If we could find a feature and make it work, it would work perfectly, there would be no bugs, and it would be really good."
"The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"Compared to some other products, the DLP is not at par for the moment."
"Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens."
"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."
"Customer support and AV are both lacking and are really hard to come to you when the product is installed. Those are the two major points that they need to work on."
