Our take

What our shortlists say about the one we picked.

  • Forcepoint Next-Generation Firewall

    Best for: Mid-sized and large sites wanting one console and steady uptime

    It earns its place on uptime, because clustering, multi-ISP load balancing and updates without service breaks keep sites online while you change them. It comes in nine appliance models, so it fits mid-sized sites through large data centers. Forcepoint is owned by TPG, so ask about the support model and roadmap before you sign.
