We performed a comparison between Comodo Dome Firewall [EOL] and Palo Alto Networks VM-Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
"Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"Fortinet FortiGate's reliability is valuable."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The VM-Series reports how much bandwidth a particular IP is using. You don't need to regularly log into a website, like a Cisco command, to see what kind of ACL it's getting. There isn't an ACL use portal event. You can go there and see how much my ACL has been getting me."
"The solution strengthens our IT posture."
"It provides complete security posture from end-to-end. This has given us better visibility into what our security aspects are."
"It has the ability to create Palo Alto VM-series using software."
"The most valuable feature is that you can launch it in a very short time. You don't have to wait for the hardware to arrive and get it staged and installed. From that perspective, it is easy to launch. It is also scalable."
"It allows us to see all our traffic to properly secure it and only allow what is needed through the firewall."
"The most valuable features are security and support."
"It offers a single pane of glass for all the different types of installations."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"The visibility of the network can be better. The GUI can be improved for better visibility of the network flow. Other solutions have better GUI in terms of network visibility."
"I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time."
"Backup can be improved."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the endpoints and the firewalls."
"The command-line interface is something that some people struggle with and I think that they should have an option to go straight to the GUI."
"It would be good if the common features work consistently in physical and virtual environments. There was an integration issue in the virtual deployment where it didn't report the interface counters, and we had to upgrade to the latest version, whereas the same thing has been working in the physical deployment for ages now. It seems that it was because of Azure. We were using VMware before, and we didn't have any such issues. We do see such small issues where we expect things to work, but they don't because of some incompatibilities. There also seems to be a limitation on how to do high availability in a virtualized environment. All features should be consistently available in physical and virtual environments. It is not always easy to integrate Palo Alto in the network management system. We would like to be able to compare two network management systems. They can maybe allow monitoring an interface through the GUI to create a reference or do a baseline check about whether your network monitoring system is actually giving you the correct traffic figures. You need traffic figures to be able to recognize the trends and plan the capacity."
"Palo Alto Networks VM-Series needs to improve its order process."
"The only minor issue we've faced is with the app's ID configuration, which requires specific matching for application filtering."
"From time to time, they have released some content updates that have some issues, maybe twice a year."
"It would be helpful if we had a direct number for the support manager or the supporting engineer. That would be better than having to email every time because there would be less wait."
"The tool is very costly."
