Good console management, but the interface is not user-friendly and application filtering needs finer granularity

An all-in-one solution that works as a firewall but very complicated for use

Pros

"We're trying to use all the firewall's features. Most of the features were effective, but the usability is a huge concern. "

Cons

"My experience with this Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall wasn't very pleasant due to its complexity. For example, the firewall loses some features when working in a cluster, which is a huge challenge. It caused me several weeks to solve an issue to make the VPN work, even after opening several cases with support. Also, the debug, which should provide essential knowledge about everything going on, the flow of traffic, and how the engine works, wasn't very informative in identifying the issue. "
