Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has good performance.""It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network.""Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature.""This solution is very stable.""From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use.""It works well and the performance is good.""I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center.""The initial setup is very good.""It is very powerful."

More Fortinet FortiClient Pros →

"l like the high download speed of the solution. Of course, it depends on which country you're using, but most countries are fast, and the solution doesn't limit your internet speed very much."

More Golden Frog VyprVPN Pros →

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The user interface on the central server could be improved.""There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported.""The solution could add data to the endpoint.""The pricing of the solution should be less expensive.""There should be more frequent releases or updates.""There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security.""It takes too long to install.""In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."

More Fortinet FortiClient Cons →

"The problem with the solution is that most of the time, it uses a certain IP address that does not change much. If I'm using a different country, like Germany, it still uses the same IP address, and the downside is that this doesn't work well with services like Netflix because Netflix realizes that I'm using a VPN."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."
  • More Netgate TNSR Pricing and Cost Advice →
