A Strong Performer with a 95% “Willingness to Recommend”

Sangfor Technologies (Sangfor), a global leader in integrated, AI-driven cybersecurity and cloud computing solutions, is proud to announce its inclusion in the latest Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” for Network Firewalls¹ (hereafter referred to as VoC for Network Firewalls). This is the third time Sangfor has been recognized, following inclusions in 2021 and 2022.

From 23 reviews over an 18-month period ending March 31, 2024, Sangfor received the title of “Strong Performer” with a 95% “Willingness to Recommend” rating—the second highest among ten vendors that met the report’s inclusion criteria. We believe these underscore the robust performance of our enterprise firewall, Sangfor Network Secure (formerly Sangfor Next-Generation Application Firewall/NGAF), and the first-class user experience we provide.

What is Gartner Voice of the Customer?

For those unfamiliar, “The ‘Voice of the Customer’ is a document that synthesizes Gartner Peer Insights’ reviews into insights for IT decision makers¹.”

Gartner Peer Insights is “a crowdsourced enterprise review platform that relies on dynamic data¹.” Gartner states that “Key to maintaining the integrity of the site is our ongoing moderation and validation of those reviews. Reviews are examined before publishing to the site and periodically, post publishing¹.”
