Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."I'm pretty happy with its reliability. It is also very scalable."
"The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"The integration with Active Directory is one of the good features. Most of the customers are now looking for the Single Sign-on feature. So, being able to integrate Active Directory with the firewall is useful. It is also easy."
"The CLI and GUI do a good job of putting a lot at your fingertips."
"There are great templates, so you don't have to customize them if you don't want to. You do have the option to custom create some folders and some reports, however, with what is there, you don't really need to go through extra effort, as they already give you a lot of predefined views of reports and so forth."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"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."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"This is a professional solution which has been the most valuable aspect of its use."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"They need faster serviceability and more security features."
"I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"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."
"The interface of this solution could be more user friendly. The initial set up could also be made more simple."
