We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW and Sangfor NGAF based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."FortiGate improved our security. It's one of the best hardware firewalls."
"The base firewall features are quite valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"The reporting and monitoring are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The product offers very good security."
"It is simple to manage, and there are a lot of functionalities in the same box."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The UI is quite good."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"One of the best things about Huawei NGFW is its ability to integrate Azure solutions. Every year, we can add new features to the firewall. The key advantage is the integration across the entire network, so it doesn't work in isolation. For example, we can manage everything with features like the secret manager or analytic IDs. The solution is straightforward. It can also detect intrusions."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution's implementation is pretty easy."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"While the features are not dissimilar to other brands, configuration is much more simple, which works out great for Indonesian people."
"Sangfor NGAF specializes in ransomware detection and helps to protect our network from ransomware threats and malware."
"Sangfor has the best capabilities for securing connections, securing web browsers, securing servers, and general threat protection."
"In four steps one can configure the entire firewall."
"So far, the performance and reliability of the product have supported our company's critical network traffic."
"The price versus value is good because the solution is less expensive than Sophos, Fortinet, or SonicWall."
"It enables us to not only detect but also prevent various types of incoming threats, allowing us to take appropriate corrective actions and exercise control over the network."
"We would like to see better pricing."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"One of the features that I would like to have is to do with endpoint production, it should be integrated. For example, the firewall gets notified of any kind of forensic event that needs to be done, such as if there is a ransomware attack and how it originated, all those records have to be available from the firewall, which is not."
"The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access."
"I don't like that anything more than very basic reporting is not included."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"The tool lacks features."
"Huawei also need to improve spam techniques and add a web application firewall. Currently, Huawei does not have a built-in web application firewall (WAF) like Fortinet does."
"The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation."
"The GUI needs to be improved, lacks logic in some areas."
"Sangfor has recently increased their prices."
"Sangfor NGAF could improve the policies and default criteria. They could be much better."
"The interface and user experience are horrible."
"The solution should be able to work in a hybrid setup."
"An area of improvement for Sangfor NGAF could be in the field of reporting and logging."
"I would be happy if Sangfor developed a firewall designed specifically for home use, as well as for small businesses such as clinics and so on. A household version of the Sangfor firewall for your personal computer or laptop would be ideal, in my opinion."
