"This solution is user-friendly."

More Comodo Dome Firewall [EOL] Pros →

"They give good protection to my network and support it.""We use the content filter quite a lot because it's an office setting. During working hours, we like to censor the sites users can visit so it increases productivity. Therefore, the content filter has been good for us.""The feature we found most valuable in SonicWall TZ is that it is user-friendly for an administrator.""SonicWall TZ think it's a good, solid, and stable product.""From our point of view, the most valuable feature was the ease of deployment.""SonicWall TZ is stable.""The scalability of SonicWall TZ is good and easy to add users.""The most valuable feature of SonicWall TZ is the double authentication, where it asks for one password and again asks for a four-digit code, which changes every 30 seconds."

Cons
"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement.""Application management can be improved.""They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired.""The renewal price and the availability could be improved.""The solution could be more user friendly.""Fortinet doesn't provide multiple virtual firewalls which would facilitate end users and customers.""It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco.""If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."

More Comodo Dome Firewall [EOL] Cons →

"The solution has lost the trust of its customers because of moving from one company to another.""It could probably be more user-friendly, and it could be more scalable with releases and subscriptions.""It could be made more user friendly.""Its pricing can be better. It is very expensive.""An additional feature that I would like to see is reporting that includes metrics to give me more information about the number of viruses that it has actually detected and interrupted.""The solution's pricing could be made cheaper.""The solution's cost needs improvement.""We have experienced some issues with SonicWall TZ and they are lacking some advanced features other vendors have."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
  • "These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
  • "Work through partners for the best pricing."
  • "The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
  • "Easy to understand licensing requirements."
  • "​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"
  • "The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."

    Information Not Available
  • "Getting licenses in our country, Ghana, is not easy. Though, once we have them, adding them is quick (about a day)."

  • "The pricing was a factor for us, and we felt that the price was good."
  • "The product pricing is relatively good, compared to other products, including the licenses."

    Overview

    Fortinet FortiGate enhances network security, prevents unauthorized access, and offers robust firewall protection. Valued features include advanced threat protection, reliable performance, and a user-friendly interface. It improves efficiency, streamlines processes, and boosts collaboration, providing valuable insights for informed decision-making and growth.

    Maintaining day-to-day operations - and growing your business - requires network traffic to constantly flow into and out of your internal network. A lot of that traffic is trusted. But much of it isn't, and you need to be able to distinguish between the two. Comodo Dome Firewall is a unified threat management system that helps to secure all ports and protocols and delivers a host of security controls.

    The secure, sophisticated SonicWALL TZ is widely deployed at small businesses, retail, government, remote sites and branch offices. It combines high-performance intrusion prevention, malware blocking, content/URL filtering and application control.
