This report uses empirical data from NSS’ individual NGIPS Test Reports and Comparative Reports to create NSS’ unique Security Value Map™ (SVM). The SVM illustrates the relative value of each product by mapping Security Effectiveness against Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per Protected Mbps.

The following products were evaluated:

  • Forcepoint Forcepoint NGFW v6.3.6
  • Fortinet FortiGate 500E v5.6.4GA build 7892
  • Fortinet FortiGate 3000D v5.6.4GA build 7892
  • IBM QRadar XGS5200 v5.4.0.4
  • Juniper Networks SRX4200 v15.1X49-D140.2
  • Palo Alto Networks PA-5220 PAN-OS 8.1.2
  • Trend Micro TippingPoint 8400TX v5.1.0.4965

To learn how vendors performed, download individual Test Reports. NSS clients can also download the Comparative Reports on Performance, Security, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). As with all NSS Labs group tests, there was no fee for participation. In addition, the Test Methodology applied is in the public domain to provide transparency and to help enterprises understand the results.
