Product discussed: 7.1
Non-IT people could plug it in, connect it to the fiber, and get it running without IT help.

Pros

"FortiGate is easy to configure. We configured one of the units and sent it to Indiana to be installed. We asked them to give us a call when they got it, so we could help them through the process, but they called us back to tell us it works great. "

Cons

"Fortinet needs to continue to improve network traceability. Other than that, we haven't run into anything that would give me any concern. "

Handles high traffic loads and maintains performance but lacks zero trust

Cons

"Zero trust could be added. Nowadays, solutions like Zscaler, Netskope, and even SecureWorks combine multiple features into a single product."

A cost-effective cloud solution for Secure Web Gateway with firewall

Pros

"Customers keep on improving their licenses. The solution remains scalable and flexible. On-premises deployments may have some limitations. However, cloud deployments offer a high degree of flexibility."

Cons

"Fortinet FortiGate SWG should be localised to specific regions to comply with local data privacy regulations because of the data privacy rules in the countries. In the Middle East, data organisation and KFA requirements are stringent. "
