Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."
"I like the tool's controller facility."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."
"The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."
"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."
"The service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"OpenNebula is lightweight, stable, and easy to customize."
"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."
"The ability to use it almost like a public cloud for an organization is a big asset, as it will create a value proposition and can control costs in a great way."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."
"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures."
"The solution is more expensive than other products."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"There are small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"It should have a simple REST API like most other tools. It's the industry standard format. An XML-RPC API gives you an XML document that you have to convert and then do something with that. REST API endpoint provides outputs in a JSON document. I would also like to see support for user data or heat templates, which OpenStack offers, but OpenNebula doesn't have this yet."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
