Quotes from Members

Pros

"Provides good VPN capabilities."
"We use it to avoid unwanted traffic."
"I have found most of the features to be good with excellent functionality."
"I love the interface."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate IPS is its efficiency."
"The solution protects the environment from internal and external threats."
"The ease of use, concise reports, and threat identification are very user-friendly and valuable."
"I value it's IPS and application control solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
 

Cons

"Maybe they can offer a smaller scope for a cheaper price for smaller organizations."
"The solution could maybe use more integration with artificial intelligence to be more proactive."
"The solution is not scalable."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve performance. There was a huge challenge in terms of CPU and memory where the IPS engine would keep triggering. There were random spikes of overutilization in the CPU and memory resources. They have to work on CPU and memory stability considering these IPS engines. A few versions were very unstable."
"They should add a feature for detailed reporting."
"I would like to be able to see more log details."
"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 used technical support and they could improve."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The solution could be more secure."
"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"The main issue is its high cost."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay, so far so good."
"The pricing for FortiGate IPS is competitive with other products in the category."
"The solution could be better priced."
"I pay €1,200 per year for the license along with Fortinet's 81E firewall appliance. I would rate this pricing as 3/5 stars, and I believe the price is reasonably similar to its competitors in the market, being somewhere in the middle."
"I give the pricing of the solution a six out of ten."
"We pay for the license of Fortinet FortiGate IPS annually. There are not any extra costs."
"The solution is very expensive so pricing is rated a one out of ten."
"It's a year based license."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"Overall, the price is good."
