We performed a comparison between Huawei NGFW and Zscaler Cloud Firewall 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."The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"This product is definitely scalable."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I had no difficulty using the Huawei NGFW."
"The UI is quite good."
"The tool helps us to integrate with other brands."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"I like that the initial setup is straighforward. It's also a scalable solution."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want."
"The product’s firewall and VPN package are fantastic compared to any other solution."
"It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection."
"I like the ease of deployment and its flexibility. We don't need to deal with license, quotes, procurement, delivery, and installation. Everything is software-based, and it's very easy to operate."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."
"Maybe they could make some features more accessible, such as a way to translate directions between two networks that share the same subnets."
"Their software support needs improvement. I would prefer to have better support for bug fixes. Sometimes, we open a ticket, and it is very difficult to get a solution. Specifically, we are not at all happy with their support for load balancing."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"Its price could be better."
"We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The solution does not have sandboxing features."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"Huawei NGFW should have better reporting and a dashboard for the visibility of traffic."
"One issue we've encountered with Huawei NGFW is that after using a firewall for two or three years, we need to replace it. The new firewalls often have more features and better memory or throughput. However, sometimes, they lack some features that the old ones had."
"The solution could be more secure and have better integration."
"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing."
"The issue right now is probably that Zscaler is not providing web browser isolation. Another solution, Menlo, offers this. For one customer, we had to send traffic to Menlo to do the isolation for us. It was requested by the customer so that they could integrate any iframe. Zscaler needs to add this type of feature in their next release."
"Pricing is a challenge."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection. It could also be cheaper or more things could be included in the basic package. In the next release, I would like better coverage in the Asia Pacific region and better quality of service."
"Its technical support services could be better."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Data Leak Prevention is only for web filtering and there is no protection for email."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
