Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to set up remote systems is the most valuable feature."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"The feature I like most is the SD-WAN. It allows you to manage more than one ISP at the same time. And there is a high-availability mode, so if one of your ISPs is down, you still have a backup."
"FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it."
"The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is load balancing. It can provide central management and VPNA. Additionally, it has enhanced our security environment."
"We are very happy with the general bandwidth agility we have seen from one website to another website."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"It is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"They've become quite expensive."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"The setup can be complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is the lowest in the market."
"We have the full version of Fortinet FortiGate and we are on a three-year contract with a commitment of five years."
"The price is fair for what we get with FortiGate."
"We find the most valuable aspect of this solution is the price. It is affordable, and cheaper than other firewalls."
"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 is fair compared to the other competitors."
"The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."
"If the price of the license in Fortinet FortiGate was less expensive it would be better."
"I would say, from our cost perspective, they are extremely competitive."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable. Customers want to use their own cheap connection and also do not want to pay too much for services from this solution, it becomes too expensive."
