Provides decent protection for the LAN but complicated interface

We had some licensing issues with its web filtering capabilities. That's why we migrated our web filtering to Cisco Umbrella. Moreover, the interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions. For example, one of the many issues is with SSH. Even now, we haven't successfully opened the port to connect using SSH mode when we want to change the configuration. It's like a black box—not very open to changes and customization. It's simply not easy to configure. There are other problems, too. For example regarding Forcepoint's Websense component. We had a lot of problems managing the web settings within Websense. That's why we migrated to Cisco Umbrella for cloud-based web filtering. It's not that Forcepoint is inherently bad. The issue is that it's not user-friendly. It is not easy to use. The developers need to redesign the interface (GUI) for better management. It is very difficult to manage. For example, simple actions require too many clicks compared to FortiGate or Palo Alto. That's the main problem.

"I found the initial setup process to be very simple and straightforward."

"The blocking, based on the signal provided, is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"It is stable and scalable. In addition, their support is great. When you ask them for something, they provide support, and if required, they also involve the R&D team to help you to resolve the issues in your configuration."

"They offer templates that provide detailed reports categorized by user, device, and internal network access."

More Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall pros

"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"For intrusion detection and mitigation, it has helped us in sort of known signatures and all sorts of things. So, we're very happy with the engine. That's the work."

"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is very stable. In addition, the provider gives notice of any changes well in advance, which is important for planning updates."

"You don't need any hardware because the solution is on the cloud. I like that Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is easy to install and manage."

"The most valuable feature is the central command center, where we can control and manage the solution."

"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."

"What I like about Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is that it works okay. I don't have time to mess with the tool most of the time because I have way too many tasks to do, but Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System tells you when there's a problem, then it blocks the problem, so that's what I like most about it."

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System pros

Cons

"Fortinet FortiGate can be integrated with different platforms. They have integrations in place, but I can't say they're 100%."

"At first glance, the interface for the device is very confusing."

"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve the protection, it did not prevent us from being attacked. Additionally, Fortinet FortiGate could provide more features for WAF devices. I should not have to purchase two solutions, it would be a benefit to combine these features into one solution."

"They should offer special pricing to premium partners and customers."

"They are doing good, but they can improve the distributor assignment. The availability of the product and the timeline of delivery are the main things. The distribution should be swift, and the distributor should not reach out to end customers directly. They should work as a distributor. There should also be one more local distributor. Currently, there is only one distributor in Pakistan, and the rest of them are in UAE. It is difficult to work with only one distributor. Sometimes, you don't get along with the same distributor, and that's why they should have one more distributor. Their licensing should also be improved. The activation or renewal of the product should be done from the date of renewal, not from the date on which the license expired."

"With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic."

"Its customer service could be better."

"With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support."

More Fortinet FortiGate cons

"Management could be better. They can improve the management. I think all our customers can't accept firewalls that have standalone management. So, they prefer Fortinet or Palo Alto. But overall, inspection and other features are working fine."

"They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience."

"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."

"I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear."

"Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers"

"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."

"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats."

More Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall cons

"TTPS is a bit behind in visuals, the UI, and some data elements."

"The firewall rules are limited."

"It takes a lot of time before you're connected to an engineer, so an area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the response time of its technical support team."

"I find Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System a bit clunky, and updating it can be a pain in the neck because you need to do it from time to time, so this is what needs to be improved in it. I would also rather have an all-in-one system that does intrusion detection, protection, web filtering, and also serves as a firewall, and my company is moving to an all-in-one solution, but I'm unsure of how soon that's going to be. Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System also doesn't have enough bandwidth to handle the required traffic within my company, so it's going to be replaced."

"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."

"It integrates well but it takes time."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System needs strong Spanish-language support."

More Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is perfect."

"Fortinet is competitive price-wise."

"Fortinet FortiGate's price can be reduced."

"The price of FortiGate is good."

"Here in Brazil, we're going through difficult economic times and the tax on the dollar is high. All the solutions from minor competitors are growing in the market. The prices have come more competitive."

"They need to be competitive with other solutions."

"Pricing is good. They offer a lot of things, the most important is the support. Every time you upgrade your license, you also get insurance for the equipment. If you have any problem with equipment, they send in new equipment."

"The beauty is the price performance ratio is great with FortiGate. It provides all the features we needed and the price is comparable with others' firewalls. The price is quite competitive with the firewalls with similar features."

More Fortinet FortiGate pricing and cost advice

"Forcepoint is very expensive but it's really secure."

"It could be cheaper like Fortinet."

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost is fair, but it could be improved."

"The training that they offer to their end-customers. It's quite expensive, I believe it costs roughly $11,000"

"The pricing of the solution is normally competitive with other products."
