Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The most valuable feature is the FortiManager for centralized management."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"Its administrative panel is very intuitive and simple. It is simpler than the other solutions that we had. As an administrator, we are always looking for the easiest solution to manage network policies. We are able to filter everything on our network and also use the VPN feature, which is important these days when people are working remotely during COVID."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"The notable features that I have found most valuable are that it includes the antivirus, and also IPS, and even SD-WAN."
"It has been stable so far."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"The only firewall able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. Can detect unauthorized devices plugged into the network, which standard firewalls can't do."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"One of Juniper SRX's most valuable features is the site-to-site VPN."
"The solution is stable, inexpensive, and works well for medium size companies."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"The command line in Juniper SRX is extremely powerful, in my opinion. It's one of the best command lines I've used in networking products."
"Technical support is perfect."
"I like the Junos OS, which has been very good for me. It's very clever."
"Using a Juniper CLI, you configure a "candidate configuration", then "commit" it to bring it live. If you do not like it or messed up something, you just "rollback" to the previous configuration. It can all be done in a matter of minutes. This is super handy once you get use to it."
"A couple of things I've seen that need improvement, especially in terms of a hard coding. The driver-level active moment really is out-of-the-box and we have to have contact the customer support and sometimes it is difficult to resolve."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"I would suggest that Fortinet add sandboxing to their solution."
"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."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"Web security solutions can be improved."
"Another loophole with Hillstone T-Series is that when we connect through WiFi and turn our hot spot on, all who connect through the hotspot get all the functions, and the security does not work."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"The range of devices should be expanded to include those suitable for a small implementation. Juniper does not have any lower-priced SRX models, useful perhaps for a single ATM or a single bank branch."
"The solution's configurations and syntax are specific and more complicated than other platforms."
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"The CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
