More Fortinet FortiGate pros

Cons

"FatPipe SD-WAN can improve the price to scale the solution."

"The setup is pretty complex and not easy to implement."

"The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response."

"The support is the main thing that needs to be improved."

"They've become quite expensive."

"The biggest "gotcha" is that if the client purchases what they call the UTM shared bundle, which has unified threat management on both, it's not as easy to manage if you have more than one firewall."

"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."

"They need faster serviceability and more security features."

"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We pay for the solution annually."

"It's very affordable."

"The price is okay."

"The license is yearly. We pay for the top end. It's called 360."

"On a scale of one being cheap and ten being expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight."

"The price of FortiGate is reasonable as I plan to buy new switches. The initial gadgets are already booted, and the pricing seems normal on the market. As for additional costs, I haven't subscribed to many extra features, so I'm only using what I need. Last year, I renewed the support for three years, which can sometimes be expensive but depends on the security benefits and how it helps us."

"The price, in comparison to other products is very cheap."

"The price could be lower."
