Sangfor NGAF Valuable Features
We are using application firewalling, WAF, and SD-WAN. The capabilities are mostly within the box. For example, you will get web application firewall WAF as part and parcel of this. SD-WAN is also bundled. It integrates with their SIEM and SOAR solutions very nicely. Lastly, the pricing point is very cost-efficient as well.

The top functionality is the reporting feature. It effectively describes attacks, categorizes them, and recommends mitigation actions. It's crucial for security administrators when dealing with attacks. This aspect is very user-friendly and easy to understand. It adds significant value to our data center operations.

I think Sangfor NGAF is more valuable than Cisco products because of its simplicity and ease of management. If I compare it with Palo Alto and Cisco, both are quite complex products. And if I compare it with FortiGate firewalls from Fortinet, I have also used all these products. Fortinet and Sangfor NGAF are similar products because the applications behind the application and policy layers are almost identical.
I think Sangfor NGAF is very strong in the reporting area compared to Palo Alto and Cisco. It has much better reporting capabilities. The tool has a good web application firewall feature. Cisco and Fortinet products don't provide such rich WAF features.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the security center or SOC-related feature, which is very good since it detects threats in real time and quickly. The tool also reacts on a timely basis.
SSL VPN is the best feature.
View full review »The absolute best part of Sangfor NGAF is their support. It's a 24/7 support channel, and the last time I requested their assistance I got a reply within three minutes. They helped solve the problem immediately.
Sangfor also gives you a warranty for any issues or defects with their hardware. If you find any issue, they will replace the hardware within five working days. We send any hardware that is faulty to our local country partner and they will do the RMA.
When it comes to deployment environments, I like that you have options. If you want a hardware firewall, then you can use their hardware. Conversely, if you want a cloud firewall, then they can provide that, too.

Sangfor serves most of the basic purposes of a firewall. It's particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect the inbound and outbound traffic on a very granular level. It gives a very good predictive measure as well as the current measure of things going on in our network. When it comes to the VPNs, it has a very good throughput when remote users connect, particularly when it comes to site-to-site VPNs, where it provides a good analysis module. You can analyze inbound traffic and different policies on this. It gives us value for money overall.

User-wise, the bandwidth management is one of the most valuable features. Also, certain features are available in the NGFW.
The solution self-diagnoses everything, which we refer to as vulnerability assessment. It automatically runs on one's network and lists the pros and cons. I consider it to be very catchy.

I think the most important feature is the solution's user-friendliness. It's very easy to manage and its database is amazing. It has all the features you need. When we installed the solution, we had a virus that hacked even our airline data, but thanks to the solution, we were protected. So their virus database is very strong, and they keep on updating. The normal features of any application firewall are that you can control it from anywhere and you can manage it very easy. Those things are very simple, and all NGAF providers have it. But I prefer Sangfor because it's really protecting us and it is easy to manage. It doesn't require a lot of skill sets to manage it. And their database is very strong.
