Solutions Architect at Navarino SA
The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages
We use the application filtering, content filtering, and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features. These features are crucial for our network security. The ease of installation and licensing are also significant advantages, as it allows us to have one license for all products, which simplifies upgrading and maintenance. Additionally, the ease of deployment is critical for us.
Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO at Indus Motor Company
Enhanced threat detection with integrated security features and good support
We are using application firewalling, WAF, and SD-WAN. The capabilities are mostly within the box. For example, you will get web application firewall WAF as part and parcel of this. SD-WAN is also bundled. It integrates with their SIEM and SOAR solutions very nicely. Lastly, the pricing point is very cost-efficient as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is deployed on the customer site, and we manage the firewalls on this side."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I've been using this solution for around 11 years."
"The most valuable features are application filtering, content filtering, the intrusion prevention system (IPS), and definitely the application firewall."
"Stability-wise, it is very good; this product is very stable and it's proven to be a very good tool for us."
"The dashboard, customization, API, and pricing are good."
"The integration and configuration with AWS was excellent."
"The features we found most valuable are using the IDS and IPS during protection. The application filtering feature is great."
"I think the tool has the feature to detect and kill ransomware in three seconds."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The solution is quite safe and good, and furthermore, it is very good for different environments."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor NGAF is its integration."
"Sangfor serves most of the basic purposes of a firewall, is particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect the inbound and outbound traffic on a very granular level, gives a very good predictive measure as well as the current measure of things going on in our network, and gives us value for money overall."
"Sangfor's tech features and technologies are more powerful than those of the other solution providers in terms of security. They also have big solutions in terms of cybersecurity."
"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."
"While the features are not dissimilar to other brands, configuration is much more simple, which works out great for Indonesian people."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with."
"VPN access is an area that needs improvement."
"The GUI interface needs improvement. It also needs improvement with the VPCs."
"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"Technical support is very bad. They never respond to any ticket you open, although we pay for the support."
"The tool's support is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered SD-WAN capabilities."
"They need to increase the number of ports in the firewall."
"Our experience with its customer support was quite challenging."
"Scalability for any network device is not very easy in terms of vertical scalability."
"I think the GUI needs to be improved, there are a lot of areas where the panes do not make sense."
"However, the maintenance cost can be a bit high."
"Lacks consistency in terms of filtering certain websites and applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is pricey."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"The solution could have been cheaper."
"For over 2000 users, the cost is around 5000 to 6000 USD. If you want a web application firewall, you have to purchase an additional license for it."
"When it comes to the price of firewall solutions, Sangfor NGAF takes the cake."
"Sangfor NGAF price is reasonable and there is an annual license. However, the maintenance cost can be a bit high."
"The product is very cost-effective compared to other brands or vendors."
"The price is unmatcheable."
"The price falls in the mid-range, neither exceptionally low nor high."
"Price-wise, I would not consider Sangfor NGAF to be a cheap product. It is an expensive firewall solution, though not as expensive as something like Palo Alto, which is costly. However, the higher price point is justifiable given the feature set the tool provides that other firewalls may not offer in a single dedicated appliance."
"If you know you have around 200+ computer users on your network, then the Sangfor NGAF 5200-F-I model would be the minimum recommended model for that amount of users. This model includes modules for packet filtering, deep packet inspection, malware scanning, DSCP filtration, and many other features."
