Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good load balancing feature."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"What's most important is the ease of use."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration."
"Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"It can expand easily."
"Forcepoint is a complete package because it has network and systems applications. Other firewalls are only for the network."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode."
"It is a scalable product. I know a customer who has deployed more than 4,000 firewalls in a single deployment."
"The support is great. They also have very good categorization. It's very good. It captures a lot of threats."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"Forcepoint is a good, stable solution."
"From a protection perspective, it provides a network perimeter security function for our company."
"The scalability is fine."
"Using a Juniper CLI, you configure a "candidate configuration", then "commit" it to bring it live. If you do not like it or messed up something, you just "rollback" to the previous configuration. It can all be done in a matter of minutes. This is super handy once you get use to it."
"Juniper SRX is a very powerful firewall and sometimes can be used as a router."
"It is very fast and very easy to maintain. Another nice part of it is that you can easily extract the logs and move them over to a security operations center."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"We mostly use the Layer 4 firewall functions: Access rules, NAT, and site-to-site IPsec VPN."
"It helped us with its routing capabilities which eased the cost, because otherwise I would have had to take a router and firewall, and then integrate it. With this, however, it was an integration of firewall and routing services all together in a single product. That was one thing that I loved about it."
"We would like to see an upgrade to the VPN feature, we are using the VPN from outside of our office and there is a limitation to 10 connections, more connections would be suitable."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"The non-error conserve mode has room for improvement."
"Monitoring and reporting could be better."
"Price, of course, can always be more competitive or better."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"The solution's support could use improvement."
"Its interface is complex when compared with a firewall like FortiGate. Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall needs a management console, whereas FortiGate doesn't need any console. When you have a few devices, a console is not really necessary. It's good to have a private console only when you have a lot of devices."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"The security features need to be improved."
"Configuration is not easy because it has an old-fashioned interface. The configuration interface is highly complex, and it's been the same for years. They have to change the interface."
"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could be improved."
"The solution is quite advanced. You need a lot of training to use it effectively."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The web interface on Juniper SRX is just a short conversion from Junos OS CLI; this is not very suitable for users with little expertise/"
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"The user interface and the GUI need improvement."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"I would like them to add a dashboard because it's difficult to operate."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
