Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Its stability is the most valuable."
"It enables our organization to become more productive. Also, it protects our NEtWare from viruses and malware."
"The GUI is good."
"I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment."
"It is useful for protecting and segregating the internal networks from the internet. Most of our customers also use the FortiGate client to connect to their offices by using the VPN client, and of course, they usually activate the antivirus, deep inspection, and intrusion prevention services. They are also using it for web filtering and implementing various policies dealing with forwardings, NAT, etc."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"Includes advanced tech protection."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"There are SD-WAN network monitoring, SD-WAN features, Industrial Databases, Internet of Things, Detection, etc., however, we do have not licenses for those features. We thought that if you bought a product, you should have all of the features it offers. Why should you need to make so many extra purchases to enable features? They should have one price for the entire offering."
"The firmware needs improvement because there are bugs when a new release comes through. Sometimes, the configuration changes, and it's a bit harder to see where the fail is. The first time that you have the firmware, it tends to have some issues, and it's better to wait a bit to update the equipment."
"If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."
"It would be nice if FortiGate incorporated some built-in endpoint protection features. I would also like a built-in SOC dashboard for managing multiple Fortinet firewalls."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Fortinet already improved FortiGate, but in the current market, many brands of security devices have improved together. Fortinet still needs to catch up with market standards. Fortinet is lacking in features in comparison to competitors."
"The support system could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
