Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration."
"It's a user-friendly firewall. Most of the tasks are very simple. It's simple to configure and troubleshoot this firewall."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"Easy to use support and licensing portal as well as activation process."
"The interface is very good."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"The pricing is great and very reasonable."
"The interface is very nice. We generally like the UI the product offers."
"With App-ID, we can identify exact traffic. Even if someone tries to fool the firewall with a different port number, or with the correct port number, Palo Alto is able to identify what kind of traffic it is."
"We have not had to replace hardware routers nor purchase additional hardware. So, that has provided a little bit of an ROI."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is pre-sales and post-sales because of the support and relationship building."
"The feature that I like the most is its IPS model, the WildFire model. I really like how the whole threat protection model functions, including the vulnerability and anti-spyware aspects. That is really awesome."
"The GUI is simple and the solution is straightforward."
"In general, I appreciate the regular firewall function of Palo Alto Networks NG Firewalls."
"The majority of our clients are very small businesses, and Untangle devices have been fantastic for these small clients. We've basically standardized our stack to just simply use Untangle. We include the hardware and the service option, which makes it very easy and affordable for us to just simply push that into the monthly per-user costing that we provide as a managed services provider. It's really a no-brainer. They're easy to use, and they're easy to set up and configure. Support is generally good about resolving any issues that we have. We haven't had any real complaints."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"The product is easy to implement."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"The web blocking for my clients and the application control are valuable."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"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."
"This product could be improved with Active directory integration and better handling in IPsec and GRE Tunnels."
"If I had any criticism that I would give FortiGate, it would be that they need to stop changing their logging format. Every time we do a firmware upgrade, it is a massive issue on the SIM. Parsers have to be rebuilt. Even the FortiGate guys came in and said that they don't play well in the sandbox."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"Personally, I feel that their dashboards for reporting and things like that need some improvement."
"The price could be more friendly, which would be good for Palo Alto and us. If the price were a little lower, then it would be a viable option for mid-level businesses, who may not be able to deploy at the current price point."
"With new features and applications you get bugs."
"The level of control and granularity in terms of rule customization could be enhanced. However, compared to our previous solution, Palo Alto provides much better drill-down capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in the area of customer service."
"Generating reports is not so easy."
"In the cloud, the HA could be a lot better. Its price could also be better. It is very expensive."
"The customer-facing side needs to be improved in terms of the engagement and involvement of support staff."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"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 storage is minimal, so we have to set the system to delete data after seven days."
"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 product must improve its reporting features."
