CIO at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We are using their product for Internet filtering as the Internet gateway. Previously, we were using FortiGate for this purpose and replaced it with Sangfor IAM. We are also using their firewall, NGAF, for core firewalling.

We are hosting applications over the platform, including websites and NAT traffic from our side. Because it's deployed in our data center, which is fully operational, we have various applications hosted there, websites, FTP portals, making it quite comprehensive. Essentially, it performs all the tasks that a firewall does.

We use Sangfor NGAF's next-generation firewall as a security firewall which includes a web application firewall, web app filtering, and URL filtering. It also helps us defend against botnet attacks and similar threats.

In my office, there are about three people who are involved in the direct use of it, although not too many others know about the firewall yet because it's a new product.

My company's customers use the solution as a firewall. Some prefer Sangfor NGAF as a replacement for their current existing firewall. The reason why I am proposing Sangfor NGAF is mainly because of its price point. The tool is very cost-effective compared to other brands.

We mainly use this solution as a firewall. A few years ago we had some data loss due to a virus, so this solution protects us from viruses, controls the track rate and detects these kinds of malware. We are very satisfied with the solution.
