How Alternatives Are Selected

1. FortiGate: Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

4.6

Mi experiencia con Fortigate ha sido solida y consistente en distintos entornos( empresas medianas , multi sede y cloud hibrido). Fortigate ofrece protección integral en una única plataforma que combina inspección profunda de paquetes ,IPS, filtrado de aplicaciones, antivirus/antimalware, control de URLs y segmentación de red. Desde mi punto de vista destaca por su alto rendimiento incluso con inspección SSL/TLS habilitada, lo cual es crucial para las arquitecturas modernas donde la mayoría del tráfico está cifrado.Read all insights and reviews for FortiGate: Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

By Check Point Software Technologies

4.5

Check Point Quantum feels powerful and reliable, with strong threat protection, but its setup is complex and the licensing a bit opaque. Overall experience is good, email protection provided by Quantum is not outstanding, quarantine management is a missing feature.Read all insights and reviews for Check Point Quantum

3. Sophos Firewall

4.8

Really happy with the product. We've been using Sophos firewalls since 2019 and have not had a single hardware failure, failed update or any unscheduled downtime. The migration from XG to XGS was straight forward and almost flawless (Lack of a management port on the XG meant that the management port we were using on the XGS was disabled after importing the config). I've found the firewalls very easy to administer and they provide almost all of the functionality that we've explored. The lack of mDNS/Bonjour support is the biggest gripe for us at the moment, along with some Google directory synchronization being locked behind other paid products. We've had great support from Sophos. They've provided free in-depth health checks and reviews of our firewall and endpoint protection. Their engineer was really generous with their time and provided us with helpful recommendations.Read all insights and reviews for Sophos Firewall

5. Cisco Meraki MX appliances

By Cisco Systems

4.6

Cisco Meraki network devices are quick to configure and easy to manage. The dashboard itself is nice and I find it beneficial to have insight into all of my networks with aggregated and individual statistics. The dashboard is very user friendly, clean, and easy to navigate. Setting up a network or making changes is a breeze. The robust alerting options ensure I'm always up to date with what's going on within my network without having to login to the dashboard too often. I think Meraki is an excellent option for smaller to small-medium sized organizations or sites. However, the downside of such a simple to use platform is that it's lacking in more advanced features.

Después del ataque de ransomware que tuvimos el año pasado, hemos avanzado en el fortalecimiento de nuestra postura de seguridad.

Actualmente estamos evaluando alternativas más robustas.Read all insights and reviews for Firebox
