Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is good to use, and most importantly, the pricing. The customer especially likes the discount when they trade up or something like that."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of FortiGate is FortiView which provides proactive monitoring."
"It's a firewall that secures our internal network. I have been using it since 2013, and I find that most of the features are advanced, and very user friendly."
"Security, SD-WAN, and Streetscape are valuable features."
"In terms of security, we have not experienced any security flaws or loopholes, and it has proven to be quite stable."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"It has been stable so far."
"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."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"We can utilize our own network rather than paying for a private one."
"In our hospital, Sangfor NGAF works well for us in terms of ensuring confidentiality and availability, which are crucial in the healthcare industry."
"The price versus value is good because the solution is less expensive than Sophos, Fortinet, or SonicWall."
"The stability of Sangfor NGAF is good."
"In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"Its customer service could be better."
"A lack of integration between our data centers."
"Application management can be improved."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"To some degree, it's almost a question as to why some of this stuff isn't simpler. For example, for an AP deployment, while it's integrated, the number of steps that you have to go through in order to get the AP up, seems like a lot."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation."
"The reporting and log management could be improved."
"The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly."
"The interface and user experience are horrible."
"Sangfor need greater exposer in the market because the market is mainly saturated by Fortinet. The user experience of Fortinet is quite different compared to NGAF. If we want to switch our users from Fortinet to NGAF, we have to convince them that the user experience will be much easier once once they start to use it."
"The product must provide more IPS features."
