Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most useful functionality of Fortinet FortiGate is the user interface, multiple engines, and their cloud with the latest integrations. Additionally, the Security Fabric tool is very good."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"The flexibility and ease of configuration are the most valuable features."
"We use the filtering feature the most. It has filtering and inbuilt securities. We can create customized rules to define which users can access a particular type of site. We can create policies inside the firewall."
"Offers good security and filtering."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"We did not have problems with scaling, as we have less than 500 users in our organization."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how you can commit, check, and back out of a configuration."
"It helps us perform our daily jobs."
"Juniper has the "recovery safety feature", so if you perform a "commit confirmed" and the new configuration disconnects you. then there is no "confirmed" command with X mins (default = 10 mins). It automatically reverts (recovers) to the previous configuration. This is handy for when you do not want to make that trip down range just to reboot a router."
"What I like the most about Juniper is that they have the same CLI on all routers, switches, and firewalls. If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"The IPSec configuration is going well."
"The most valuable feature is robustness."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"There are mainly two areas of improvement in Fortinet FortiGate— the licensing cost and the timing of upgrading licenses for boxes."
"The main aspect of FortiGate that could be improved is load balancing. Our management team does not want to buy another appliance for only load balancing."
"They sometimes hide some features and if you want to enable them, you have to go in the CLI, enable the feature and configure it through the CLI. Customers, typically, like everything to be done by the GUI."
"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."
"Its customer service could be better."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"The product only has basic features."
"The reporting is lacking."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"While the GUI is pretty good on the Juniper side, there can still be tweaks made to it that will make it even better."
"The web interface on Juniper SRX is just a short conversion from Junos OS CLI; this is not very suitable for users with little expertise/"
"When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices."
"It was very difficult to deal with and required a lot of support, and the UI is very poor."
