Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution made it very easy to manage our bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics."
"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."
"Fortigate represents a really scalable way of delivering perimeter network security, some level of layer 7 security, WAF, and also a way to create a meshed ADVPN solution."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."
"The most valuable feature is the console management."
"The Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a scalable product."
"Next Generation Firewall's best feature is that it can be managed on one platform."
"I have two offices, and I can route the internet of both offices using the same product. The connectivity is great."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The feature that we like the most about Forcepoint is that we know the technology and have confidence in it. We can have several functionalities to simplify operations and management. We can combine functionalities like log ownership to review the number of devices in the infrastructure."
"The solution offers sandboxing, which can be integrated at any time."
"The product is easy to implement."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The interface is very good."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"Its detection, antivirus, and filtering features are the most valuable. The facility to connect by using the VPN connection is also a very valuable feature. It is very strong, secure, and reliable. We have implemented the Untangle solution in all hardware. It is also a user-friendly solution. It is easy to learn and easy to configure."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having a frequent ask questions(FAQ) area for people to receive quick answers to popular questions. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an SMS notification feature. For example, if you cannot access your email you could receive an SMS message."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"The feature which gives us a lot of pain is ASIC architecture."
"The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."
"They need to improve their alerts."
"It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto."
"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could 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."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security features need to be improved."
"Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall could change its interface, allowing standard or direct connect modes to be configured."
"The product needs to have a better support group for its online support, specifically for its help desk."
"The product must improve its reporting features."
"On their low-end appliance, they could have more memory and the largest storage space. The low-end appliance comes with a too-small hard drive, and it could use a little extra room. It only comes with about 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory, and the hardware space is only 40 gigs, which is really small."
"It does have multi-factor authentication in some areas, but I would love to see a more widely implemented version of that on the devices themselves."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"We have a minor issue when assigning IP addresses in the ARP tables. You should be able to go into the ARP tables, look at the IP address and say, "Nope, they need to be on this side on this IP address." The ability to set a DHP reservation from the ARP tables would be great. It's no big deal, but it would be nice to have."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
