CRN Network Security Product of the Year

For the second year in a row, XG Firewall was awarded CRN’s Network Security Product of the Year. This is a very prestigious award, as the winner is determined by solution providers that use these products every day. They consider a number of factors when determining their ratings, including but not limited to product quality and reliability; richness of product features and functionality; technical innovation; compatibility and ease of integration; and demonstrated ability to create new customer relationships or improve existing ones. This year’s survey garnered over 3,600 responses, and we outranked Fortinet, Palo-Alto Networks, Cisco, and Forcepoint to claim the top prize again this year.
