What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. I'd say it's about 97% stable. We haven't experienced any crashes or anything of that nature.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't really tested scalability that much. We have about 200 users and we don't plan to increase usage any time soon.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support used to be much better. Fortinet seems to be downgrading, so everything takes longer to get a response in comparison to the past. When you make a ticket it may take as much as three days before it gets assigned.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the implementation ourselves.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost is okay. It's moderate to inexpensive.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model. We're both customers and partners with Fortinet.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
