I have been working with Forcepoint for more than ten years. But we first worked with them for Web Security, and we worked with the Firewall for about four years.

What other advice do I have?

I would tell potential users that it's difficult for us to compete with Fortinet's firewall. Fortinet offers good performance, a good price, and is stronger.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall an eight.
