"If I need something from tech support, I can get it answered within the hour."
"Other than the additional security with exploit protection, we have simpler certificate handling, as we can keep internal servers using internal certificates continuously distributed and updated by Active Directory Group Policy, while the public certificates become updated only in a single place, FortiWeb itself."
"FortiWeb's ease of deployment is what we liked the most about it. Implementing FortiWeb was extremely fast and easy, which was a significant advantage. It comes with several preconfigured rule sets and templates."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Fail-Open."
"I like FortiWeb's usability and ease of configuration. It's simple to configure rules and exceptions inside the attack log. We block everything by default. If something isn't working, we ask the system admin to adjust the template and add exceptions."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.)."
"The stability of the product is good since I haven't had any problems with the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's automatic bot mechanism. It also gives us the control to create our own custom bot rules."
"We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them."
"New releases and old releases have some bugs, some features do not work as good as we want but every new release the Fortinet team fixes up problems."
"If the price was lower, it would be a bit more attractive, as an option, to the customers."
"The solution could offer more integration opportunities."
"Their support needs improvement."
"The initial setup in our data center was somewhat complex."
"They could improve their support a little bit for faster response time."
"Centralized configuration using FortiManager – like what exists for NGFW FortiGate appliances - would improve the configuration."
"The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems."
