Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"It's very easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The UTM feature is quite good. FortiAP is easy to deploy because both Fortigate and FortiAP are under the same brand. Otherwise, you need to do more work on the configuration."
"I like that they have given me a solution at a fair price."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"It has improved our security capabilities."
"The technical support has been good."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The command feature is valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"It helps a lot of companies to reduce their downtime. Also, It helps businesses in terms of being secured and protected from any threats."
"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."
"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall understands the applications in the current generation and adapts to the present generation cloud applications."
"The solution offers good sandboxing."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"A sandbox would be good in order to be able to inspect the emails containing spam and be able to validate the emails that contain malware, prior to delivering to the customer."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"Currently, FortiGate is providing SSL VPN. But they're missing some features that are available in Palo Alto's SSL VPN."
"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."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"It does not have key authentication for admin access."
"It would be ideal if they had some sort of GUI interface for troubleshooting and diagnostics."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the GUI because it isn't very good."
"The GUI interface needs improvement."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"he stability could be improved."
"The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"
"Pricing is a challenge."
"When it comes to customer support, there is room for improvement in Zscaler's service."
"The product could improve its integration with some legacy systems."
"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."
"There are some areas it could improve when it comes to blocking, we have to block some things manually. For example, if we block a top-level domain we have seen that the new IPs come through, the IPs are not blocked. There should be some more granular way of doing it. My only request is if you're blocking something at a top level, the sub-level sub-domains and all those other IPs should be blocked too automatically."
"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
