Sangfor NGAF Reviews

We primarily provide this solution to our clients. We are providing services at financial institutions. We provide features based on customer requirements.

The solution offers some decent features. The assessment feature, for example, is a highly rated feature in Sangfor. It has options that aren't available on other products. 

It's a very reliable solution.

The deployment process is very straightforward. 

The stability is excellent.

We've found the technical support to be helpful.

The pricing is very good.

All the next-generation firewalls are providing the features Sangfor is already providing. It offers a good vulnerability assessment. This feature is not available on other devices. This feature allows for access to the endpoints and gives visibility to the vulnerabilities in Sangfor.

It would be ideal if the solution offered SD-WAN capabilities. It's not as good as what is offered by Fortinet, for example.

They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall. Both Fortinet and Sophos, for example, provide many more than what Sangfor provides. 

I've been working with the solution since about 2018. It's been a few years at this point.

The solution is very stable. We haven't had any issues with any of our customers. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's extremely reliable. 

We have about 50 different customers who have used the solution.

The technical support is very good. Many products don't offer technical support in Pakistan. However, Sangfor does, which gives them an advantage. Their technical experts are right here and not in some other time zone or speaking some other language. If any customer faces any issues, they can go directly to the customer site. If a partner cannot rectify the situation, the customer has the option of going right to Sangfor. I would say that our clients have been satisfied so far.

I've previously worked with other solutions, such as Sophos and Fortinet. They are better for enterprise-sized organizations. Sangfor is better for smaller businesses. It's much more cost-effective.

We did not have an issue with the initial setup. The solution has a Wizard that basically walks you through the process. It's easy. It's not overly complex or difficult to execute.

The pricing is good. It's an affordable option for smaller companies. 

We are Sangfor Gold partners.

I'd recommend this solution for the SMB market, as it is cost-effective and reliable. If a company is enterprise-sized, something like Sophos may be more suitable. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine 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.
