"Overall, the pricing of the solution is very good. The product offers good value."
"The usage in general is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The simplicity of the configuration and the stability of the product are most valuable. The VPN concentrator is very useful."
"Valuable features include the Web Application Firewall, and it even has DLP (data leak prevention)."
"I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use."
"SSL VPN is the best feature."
"The price versus value is good because the solution is less expensive than Sophos, Fortinet, or SonicWall."
"It seems to be a durable, stable product."
"Sangfor NGAF specializes in ransomware detection and helps to protect our network from ransomware threats and malware."
"So far, the performance and reliability of the product have supported our company's critical network traffic."
"The most valuable features are the WAN optimization, the internet access gateway (IAG), and the central console, which allows us to implement on their firewall."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution."
"A very robust product."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks."
"It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the logging and reporting. Additionally, the next-generation application's policies should be improved. When they were released they had bugs."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements made to cloud-based management."
"We had a minor problem where there was a major system upgrade on the hardware platfrom and the Mac client was not available as soon as it might have been. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"Some of the web policy reports could be improved."
"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."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"I believe that IAM and NGFW need to merge into a single box, instead of there being two separate box solutions."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"The setup phase is quite complex."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
