Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I appreciate FortiGate's flexibility, which allows for centralized management through FortiManager.""Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good.""The next-gen features, the unified threat management capabilities are something that just about everybody is interested in at this point.""Offers good security and filtering.""The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy.""It can expand easily.""Customers are more inclined towards FortiGate because of application control, web filtering, and anti-spam features. The support from the FortiGate team is good, and price-wise, it is affordable.""The email protection and VPN features are the most valuable."

"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.""We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good.""It has been stable so far."

More Hillstone T-Series Pros →

"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people.""The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall.""The solution has good features.""The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality.""It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side.""The hardware is stable.""The technical support has been good.""I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."

Cons
"The search tool needs improvement. It's very difficult to search for policies right now.""In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved.""Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution.""With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals.""Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate.""There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract.""I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation.""The support team for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be more customer friendly."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"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.""Licensing is not cheap.""They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."

More Hillstone T-Series Cons →

"Fortinet is more user friendly than Juniper. In terms of remote access, I actually prefer using Fortinet. It's much easier to configure.""The solution should consider improving its licensing policies.""he stability could be improved.""It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier.""There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing.""The solution could improve its technical support.""The pricing still needs some improvement.""The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
  • "These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
  • "Work through partners for the best pricing."
  • "The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
  • "Easy to understand licensing requirements."
  • "​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"

    Overview

    Fortinet FortiGate enhances network security, prevents unauthorized access, and offers robust firewall protection. Valued features include advanced threat protection, reliable performance, and a user-friendly interface. It improves efficiency, streamlines processes, and boosts collaboration, providing valuable insights for informed decision-making and growth.

    Hillstone’s T-Series intelligent Next-Generation Firewall (iNGFW) uses three key technologies to detect advanced attacks and provide continuous threat defense for today’s networks. First, it uses statistical clustering to detect unknown malware, leveraging the patented Hillstone Advanced Threat Detection engine (ATD). Second, it uses behavioral analytics to detect anomalous network behavior, which is based on the Hillstone Abnormal Behavior Detection engine (ABD). Finally, it leverages the Hillstone threat correlation analysis engine to correlate threat events detected by disparate engines – including ATD, ABD, Sandbox and other traditional signature-based threat detection technologies – along with context information to identify advanced threats.

    Juniper vSRX is a virtualized security platform that provides advanced threat protection for virtualized and cloud environments. It offers a comprehensive set of security features, including firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and unified threat management (UTM). 

    With its scalable architecture, the vSRX can be easily deployed and managed across multiple virtual machines, making it ideal for organizations with dynamic and distributed networks. It also supports high-performance data processing, ensuring minimal impact on network performance. 

    vSRX is designed to integrate seamlessly with Juniper's broader security ecosystem, enabling centralized management and visibility across the entire network.
