A firewall is a filter that stands between a computer or computer network and the Internet. Each firewall can be programmed to keep specific traffic in or out

Policy-based visibility and control over applications, users and content

Visualization tools present administrators with data on applications traversing the network, who is using them, and the potential security impact.

Inspecting permitted application traffic by means of threat prevention, URL filtering and data filtering

Firewall policy controls enable administrators to create firewall policies controlling what data is allowed to traverse the firewall

Integration with Active Directory and LDAP directories

Either command-line or web-based interface for centralized control and management

Custom and summary reports, and log files enabling analysis of security incidents, application usage and traffic patterns

VPN's implement encryption and anonymize IP addresses

Built-in capacity to prevent exposure if primary firewall stops working

Stateful inspection analyzes packet headers and contents of packets

Firewall Software

We are using IPS/IDS Firewall, router and SD-WAN capable network security appliance. We currently use the Forcepoint NGFW in our on-premises data center environment, Cloud DR solution, and at all remote locations. We utilize it as a security and routing appliance that can determine the best ISP link to use at any given time or to prioritize types of traffic over specific netlinks.

Easy to manage and make changes on - ACL's are done with ease.
Easy USB initial configuration - The easy initial setup of a new location and firewall saves massive time. Settings are automatically pushed to new nodes upon contact with the controller.
Low Complexity - This system does not have a lot of complexity requiring extra hours, training, or personnel to manage.

Poor Reporting - It exists but even when calling in to support for assistance, they have no idea how to tackle customizing reports or searching for specific data.

Efficiency/Productivity increase. The company moved from Cisco firewall and routing hardware to Forcepoint NGFW. It now takes fewer people and fewer hours to manage the new product. This has allowed the company to put the man-hours to use on other projects and tasks.
Long term viability. This has been a concern in the past when the company started as Stonegate, merged to become Stonesoft then got purchased by McAfee, then McAfee got purchased by Intel. However, with Forcepoint the product seems to have found a stable home.
Low complexity. The Web GUI based system for management has reduced the cost of personnel and training required. There is no longer a need for the company to have higher trained and higher salary cost employees to manage the system. Mid-level admins at lower salaries are capable of managing the GUI based system with ease.
