Executive summaryInfo-Tech evaluated ten competitors in the NGFW market,including the following notable performers:Champions: Dell (SonicWALL) has the full package – great features and price. Fortinet: a consistent leader in the firewall space. WatchGuard: a strong product for organizations with a strictbudget. Sophos: one of the only products evaluated with a full feature set.Value Award: WatchGuard has a highly competitive price for organizationslooking for a comprehensive product without spending the dollars.Trend Setter Award: WatchGuard: the product’s reporting functions were adifferentiator amongst other NGFWs.Info-Tech Insight1. Protect outbound data as well asinbound.Built-in Data Leakage Protection (DLP)capabilities ensures that sensitive orconfidential data is protected.2. The more traffic your firewall can see, thebetter it can protect it.Encrypted traffic can conceal threats fromfirewalls, while Wi-Fi networks provide aroute for attacks to bypass firewalls. Today’sfirewall solutions focus on controlling thesetypes of traffic.3. Capabilities should not cut down onperformance.Despite the breadth of features, NGFWshould not have a significant impact to youroverall network performance, even if youhave the capabilities fully “switched on.”Vendor Landscape: NGFWInfo-Tech Research Group3
Market overviewHow it got hereWhere it’s going Firewalls originated theoretically in the late 1980s beforebeing brought to fruition as traffic-controlling tools. NGFWs reflect a movement towards more contentaware security, combining additional capabilities on topof anti-malware and intrusion prevention, such as: Firewalls have evolved four times over from simplepacket filters (that evaluated source, destination, andprotocol) to stateful inspectors (with the capability of“remembering” the nature of ongoing communicationsand origin of the packets involved), proxies (evaluatedpacket contents, rather than just the packets), to UnifiedThreat Management systems (UTMs) or NextGeneration Firewalls (NGFWs). The last iteration – originating as the term UTM – beganintegrating capabilities such as anti-malware andintrusion prevention for a more robust firewall. While there is still debate over the semantics, UTMs arenow frequently referred to as Next Generation Firewalls.o Data Leakage Protection (DLP)o Network Access Control (NAC)o Application controlo User identity-related controlA growing number of vendors are also adding webapplication firewalling functionality. As more organizations seek out consolidated solutionsfor economical savings and resource management,NGFW will be replacing most standalone securitysolutions like DLP. Some vendors have already startedphasing out standalones this year.As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionalitybecomes differentiating. Intrusion prevention has become a Table Stakes capability and should no longerbe used to differentiate solutions. Instead focus on DLP and web application control to get the best fit foryour requirements.Vendor Landscape: NGFWInfo-Tech Research Group4
NGFW vendor selection / knock-out criteria: market share,mind share, and platform coverage While there is some debate over semantics regarding UTM vs. NGFW, the market remains stable, represented by longtime, experienced vendors and newer, but just as strong, competitors. For this Vendor Landscape, Info-Tech focused on those vendors that offer broad capabilities across multiple platformsand that have a strong market presence and/or reputational presence among mid and large-sized enterprises.Included in this Vendor Landscape: Barracuda. Highly competitive solution in terms of features and the space’s best kept secret. Check Point. One of the progenitors of the firewall space and still one of the most recognizable names. Cisco. The ASA firewall line remains one of the strongest solutions, coupled with Cisco’s networking market share. Dell (SonicWALL). After being acquired by Dell in 2012, it has emerged as one of the stronger solutions features-wise. Fortinet. The vendor that coined the UTM term and one of the first to incorporate enhanced capabilities. Juniper. Entered the firewall market through acquisition of NetScreen and has established a solid foothold since then. McAfee. NGFW is another piece to the security giant’s already broad portfolio of products. Palo Alto. The most recent entrant to the market of the reviewed solutions, but still offering a competitive solution. Sophos. Acquired Cyberoam in 2014 to bolster its NGFW portfolio. WatchGuard. Another vendor growing into larger markets after an early focus in the SMB space.Vendor Landscape: NGFWInfo-Tech Research Group5
