Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."It's an easy solution to set up."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"It is a good source for firewall protection."
"I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be scalable."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"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."
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"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."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"The interface is very good."
"They should improve high CPU and memory usage that occurs."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement is the performance on bandwidth demands for smaller devices, as well as better web filtering."
"The logging details need to be improved."
"The monitor and the visibility, in this proxy, is very weak."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve by integrating the web application firewall and the DDoS protection part of the solution. Having a WAF feature, web application firewall, and proxy together would be a good benefit."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"The solution could be more evenly structured."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"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."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"The storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The common center facility that Untangle provides should be available on-premises. There are great corporations here in Mexico that like the Untangle solution, but they don't like the fact that the monitoring and access to the appliance are in the cloud. They request for the common center facility to be available and installed on-premises."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
