Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The Intrusion Prevention System and the web filtering are both working well."
"Customers want to load balance more than eight lines or six internet lines. FortiGate is the only solution that can accomplish this."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The base firewall features are quite valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"The tool helps us to integrate with other brands."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The UI is quite good."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"The pricing could be a bit better, especially when you consider how they have the most basic offering priced."
"Some configuration elements cannot be easily altered once created."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"I would like to see an antivirus solution included with the product."
