"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"The solution is stable."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The most useful feature of FortiGate IPS for me is Application Control."
"Provides good VPN capabilities."
"Its interface is the most valuable. It is quite easy to manage."

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"The licensing price could be better."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"The solution could maybe use more integration with artificial intelligence to be more proactive."
"Fortinet can add some Machine Learning and AI to improve its accuracy and give it an edge on IPS detection and protection."
"I would like to see more AI features included in future updates, as that would add significant value."
"Right now, it's not really scalable, but it's okay for us. However, looking ahead to three years from now, we might have a problem with scalability. We foresee a little risk down the road. The stability is okay for now."
"I have contacted the support from Fortinet FortiGate IPS. The service was good but the speed could be better."
"Whitelisting could be better."
"The solution has limited scalability."
"One area for improvement is the licensing policy. If support licenses are not renewed, the product's functionality ceases, which can be disruptive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
