Sangfor NGAF Reviews

We primarily use this product as an intrusion prevention system.

Sangfor has the best capabilities for securing connections, securing web browsers, securing servers, and general threat protection.

The most valuable part of this product is the set of end-user security features.

The web interface needs to be improved, making it more user-friendly.

I have been working Sangfor for the last 20 years. I have only recently installed the NGAF, so I am still learning about it.

The initial set was easy.

I installed it myself.

Sangfor is cheaper than competing vendors.

I evaluated several other options and found that Palo Alto and Sangfor were the best two. Ultimately, I chose Sangfor.

Price-wise, Sangfor was cheaper than the others and Palo Alto was more expensive than Fortinet.

My advice is that if you have a large enough budget then implement Palo Alto. Alternatively, with a lesser budget, I recommend using Sangfor.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our customers purchase Sangfor NGAF primarily out of budgetary considerations. Sangfor enables high power internet access. Indonesia has a big market, not only as concerns the firewall. 

While the features are not dissimilar to other brands, configuration is much more simple, which works out great for Indonesian people. 

The solution has too many bugs and these slow down the implementation. The software should be updated to account for this. 

We have not received complaints from our customers about the solution's stability.

We have not received complaints from our customers about the solution's scalability. 

So far, we have not had occasion to contact tech support. 

As we are a distributor, we have our own maintenance team. 

When it comes to the price of firewall solutions, Sangfor NGAF takes the cake. It is cheaper than Fortinet, Sophos, Check Point and Palo Alto. 

I would no longer offer Sangfor, as I have ceased to be its distributor. I am now a distributor for Check Point. 

I rate Sangfor NGAF as an eight out of ten, owing to its bugs. 

The most valuable features are the WAN optimization, the internet access gateway (IAG), and the central console, which allows us to implement on their firewall. 

An area for improvement would be the number of ports defined on the box. In the next release, I would like them to develop their provisioning stage of enrolling end devices.

I have been working with this solution for three months.

The stability is good.

The technical support is good - they are very supportive and friendly and are available even on the weekends.

Previously, I have worked with Palo Alto, Fortinet, Sophos, and Endpoint Kaspersky. I would recommend Sangfor over these due to its ability to implement user restrictions.

The initial setup was not complex.

Sangfor's pricing is competitive.

This product is very user-friendly, and its Layer 7 security is very much improved. It can be customized to a very deep level. I would give this solution a score of eight out of ten.

The firewall is connected to the directory. It offers domain authentication if you want to connect to the internet. It helps our users' website connect to our internet service. 

In terms of the most valuable features, the IPS report is quick and updated. Performance is also valuable. 

In terms of improvement, it should have integrated consoles. Since we have various products and we need one console that we can use to manage all of the solutions. Sangfor should provide it. 

It could also be cheaper. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It's easy to use. The user interface isn't user-friendly though. 

The pricing should be lowered. 

I would recommend this solution. 

I'd rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because it's not so user-friendly and needs better integration.
