We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiGate SWG and Trend Micro Web Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"It has a valuable SD-WAN feature and provides good performance."
"The performance is very good and the solution is simple to manage."
"The interface is user-friendly, so it's easy to add policies and block traffic."
"Web filters, particularly web application controls, grant us the ability to regulate user access effectively."
"The interface and other reports are all user-friendly."
"The product's most valuable features are SD-WAN and the integration of WiFi and switches."
"FortiGate is easy to use, and I also like its VPN."
"The user interface is intuitive. Anyone can configure the firewall with little knowledge of the product. The back-end is robust with good security."
"The real-time threat detection capability of Trend Micro Web Security has had a positive impact on our security."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Web Security stems from the fact that it is neither a cheap nor an expensive tool."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"It's a stable solution."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG's costs need improvement."
"Support could be improved."
"They should consider making some improvements regarding the pricing."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG could improve the price, it is expensive."
"Fortinet's support team consists of a huge networking team, because of which there is a delay in response at times."
"We can't identify which users are causing challenges when we have issues."
"It is essential to leverage its capabilities more professionally to achieve an even higher level of security."
"FortiGate's reporting features could provide a better picture of what is happening in the box."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"his legacy version currently lacks WFA, which is a useful tool for managing bandwidth and applying data control limits to specific users. It's especially beneficial for organizations using Android and Azure."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"They could improve the platform's ability to control normal traffic and prevent attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
