Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support has been quite helpful in the past."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"I like the IPS. IPS is the master feature. I depend on the firewall and sandbox."
"We like the scalability of Forcepoint because with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller."
"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"When our customer needs some optimization, along with performance and security. If they want everything in one package, I recommend Forcepoint because they have everything."
"I have found that Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is easy to use, highly secure, and the main VPN tunnel is created automatically which is a benefit."
"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"It is a very stable product."
"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."
"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."
"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."
"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."
"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."
"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."
"The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."
"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"Its management center should be easier to use. The management interface of Forcepoint is unique and a little bit different from some of the firewall solutions on which people might have worked before. Sometimes, the customers say that it is not very friendly, and we help them with how to use this management interface. It just takes a little bit of time, and after some time, it gets easy to manage or use. It is quite similar to Palo Alto, Fortinet, and legacy Juniper solutions. Their support should be faster. We have received complaints that they are not responding fast, which is not good for the vendor and us."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."
"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."
"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
