Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the APIs. They are the most widely known."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The solution can scale well."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN, as it allows us to connect and it separates this product from other firewalls."
"The next-generation firewall is great."
"The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering."
"Good load balancing feature."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"It has the typical features of a next-generation firewall. It can do application control, antivirus, content filtering, etc."
"I like to install Palo Alto mainly on the data center side to have visibility into all VLANs. That gives full visibility into the core."
"I typically get involved with it when it comes to audit and compliance and having to gather evidence of those firewalls, routers, and rule sets. The evidence that I typically need is there."
"Mechanically, all firewalls work in a similar fashion, but what makes Palo Alto different is that it also has some of the threat hunt capabilities. It is a little bit better than other vendors."
"The most valuable features are web filtering and application filtering."
"The packet level inspection is the most valuable feature. The traffic restriction features allow us to restrict the sub-features of any platform."
"The most valuable features are the power of the threat prevention and the WildFire service. Its strength comes from the huge number of sensors all over the world. The firewalls have a rich library of signatures."
"I love the Policy Optimizer feature. I am also completely happy with its stability."
"There are some license issues. Not every feature must have a separate license. There must be some of kind synergy between the license so we don't have to pay for every individual license that we would like to have."
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models."
"The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper."
"The UI could be improved."
"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."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The web-cache feature which was previously on the FortiGate device, but was deleted with the recent upgrade should be returned. It was a very valuable feature for us."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"Palo Alto needs to improve their training. They do not invest in their partners. I have been a partner for seven years, and it is very expensive for me to certify my engineers."
"The built-in machine learning features provide some automation, but I think there should be an option for manual review because nothing replaces the human eye."
"I would like to see it provide us with intelligent information from the data that it captures, within the same cost."
"The areas that need to improve are network protection and user identification."
"There is a web-based GUI to do management, but you need to know how the machine or firewall operates. There are hundreds of different menus and options. I have used other firewalls before. Just implementing or designing a policy with Palo Alto, if you want a certain port to be open to different IP addresses, then that could take 20 to 25 clicks. That is just testing it out. It is quite complex to do. Whereas, with other places, you tell it, "Okay, I want this specific port open and this IP address to have access to it." That was it. However, not with Palo Alto, which is definitely more complex."
"The solution's VPN, called GlobalProtect, could be improved as I've had a few issues with that."
"The pricing could be improved. They need to work on the setup over the firewall, VLAN, and PPPoE."
"The cost has room for improvement."
