Intuitive, easy to install, with good reporting and support
If it would integrate everything in one place then it would be an improvement. I wanted to buy some switches and integrate them into the system, but we couldn't find anyone here in Israel to provide them or to provide support. Also, we could not get a replacement if something needed to be replaced. We wanted to use one vendor to do everything from one managed central management point. It may be something they offer now, but I am not sure. It would be helpful if we can have one easy place to manage, or from the cloud to all the devices that are at the client's location. This is the backbone, the switches, the access points, FortiGate, everything. Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it. So, if you could do everything without that, it would be much easier when you do V-LANs.

Graphical user interface is user-friendly and easy to deploy but need more free security profiles
I am a network engineer. I deploy firewalls for customers. I also provide firewall installation and configuration services. I mostly prefer Fortinet firewalls. The graphical user interface is user-friendly and easy to configure. I recommend it to my clients because it is very easy to deploy…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Before choosing a piece of equipment you have to take into account the cost-benefit offered by each one. Sometimes it is not worth paying a very cheap price to have a minimum level of security."
"The main reason we chose Fortinet FortiGate was that the price was better than the competition."
"We purchased a five-year bundle package, which worked out cheaper than competing solutions."
"I had to pay for the license for the firewall, but it is guaranteed to have updates. I expect a good service for it. It was about €1000 for a year, and there was no additional cost."
"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is better than Cisco, Check Point, and Palo Alto. In terms of pricing, it's probably a better-priced firewall solution overall."
"The pricing is perfect."
"The price could be lower."
"No comment."
Information not available
"VMs can be affordable, but for high-demand scenarios, I'd still recommend the hardware. For the cost, it's a ten out of ten."
"There is an annual license required to use the solution."
"It is an expensive solution if you are migrating from an open source solution."
"It is a medium-priced product."
"The price is similar to Symantec Endpoint, but it's more expensive than Forcepoint solutions. Fortinet is better than Forcepoint."
"The product’s licensing must be a little cheaper."
"We are on an annual license for this solution and it could be cheaper."
"There is a support fee that can be bought on a yearly or two-yearly basis. I don't think they do five years. The best benefit is that the same pricing is guaranteed for that duration. If you can afford it, I would recommend using the longest possible time span."
