Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Some of the valuable features are the firewall, IPS, web filter, and gateway capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to use and flexible.""The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products.""We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days.""Their proxy-based inspection is responsive and secure.""It's very easy to set up, it's very easy to make policies and, for an organization, that means you don't need IT expert in firewalls. You just need to have somebody who knows a little bit of IT, and that's it. With other products, you need someone with a "Masters" degree in firewalls.""It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers.""Valuable features include the Web Application Firewall, and it even has DLP (data leak prevention).""The security fabric is excellent."

"I found that the best feature of Sophos Cyberoam UTM is reporting. Its reporting feature is excellent, fast, and easy to prep and launch.""All in one UTM appliance.""The product is a simple and user-friendly UTM that can handle accounting, reporting, firewall, IPS, and antivirus for industries.""The performance has been good overall.""The product is worth the investment.""The tool is stable.""The best feature is the flexibility the product offers, in terms of remote access. What we had before was a decentralized mechanism in our organization, but after having this product we were able to get the remote locations into the same LAN. We were able to control the bandwidth and were able to take virtual access of those machines and give them the support, as and when required.""It is a VPN that serves all your needs as an application firewall."

Cons
"It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models.""The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable.""There are a lot of bugs I have found in the solution and it is difficult to upgrade. These areas need improvement.""I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool.""This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels.""Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility.""They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs.""Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."

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 implementation policy needs improvment.""The solution could be cheaper.""The solution should improve its scalability because it cannot support enterprise networks.""Sophos Cyberoam UTM has room for improvement in specific rules-based objects and redesign. The solution also needs to improve in adding rules and policies, including renewing and finding policies.""The Traffic Discovery feature should allow administrators to disconnect unnecessary live connections.""Its scalability is not that great.""While the security features are excellent, they could be improved.""When it comes to web filtering and application filtering, it does not contain enough signatures to determine all of the sites that need to be blocked."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."

  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."

    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.

    Cyberoam Unified Threat Management hardware appliances offer comprehensive security to organizations, ranging from large enterprises to small and branch offices. Multiple security features integrated over a single, Layer 8 Identity-based platform make security simple, yet highly effective.
