Fortinet FortiGate IPS Reviews

We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS for its firewall and filtering.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate IPS are firewall and filtering.

The web filtering categories could improve in Fortinet FortiGate IPS. There are too many websites under the category of Unknown and the other categories are not featuring all the necessary sites.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate IPS for approximately 15 years.

Fortinet FortiGate IPS has been stable in my usage.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 100 users using this solution.

We are using this solution extensively in my organization but we do not plan to increase usage.

The implementation is complicated.

We have an internal team that did the implementation of the solution.

We do not need many people for the maintenance of the solution.

We pay for the license of Fortinet FortiGate IPS annually. There are not any extra costs.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS a seven out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for the integral firewall, monitoring, and all types of security.

The most valuable features are security and vision, and all of the UTM functionality.

The user interface needs a bit of upgrading.

Pricing could be better. 

Customers are looking for 24/7 protection, but it's not as critical in the end. The pricing is preventing them for adopting it so they should be competitive.

I have been using this solution for approximately six years

I am working on the most up-to-date version.

It's very stable, it can take a lot.

It's scalable and we have not had any problems at all.

Technical support is very good. I have no issues with them.

Previously, we were using another solution. Fortinet FortiGate IPS, was recommended to us, and once we tried it we liked it and we stuck with it.

I am not happy with WatchGuard.

For me, after using it for six years, the initial setup is easy.

They are more expensive than others.

If you are looking for a lifestyle solution, then FortiGate is my choice.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use it for our end customers. I am a network engineer for a company that looks after airlines.

Its interface is the most valuable. It is quite easy to manage.

Its performance can be better. We have had performance issues in the past, but we sometimes tend to find that it is more related to what we do in our network than anything else. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It seems to be very stable.

It is scalable.

We don't really use them. There is plenty of stuff online, and it is more of a learn as you go.

It is quite straightforward, but it can be complex if you are on the cloud. A lot of our customers are cloud-based, and it is a little bit tricky trying to set them up.

It is not expensive as compared to Cisco.

The customer decided what they were going to use. We didn't have a say in it.

I would advise others to go for the training courses. One good thing about FortiGate is that you have got free training.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.

We are using FortiGate IPS for network security to prevent intrusion.

I have found most of the features to be good with excellent functionality.

The solution could improve the configuration, there are times the configuration is missing.

I have been using FortiGate IPS for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

FortiGate IPS scalability is good.

The support is very poor with FortiGate IPS and they need to look into fixing it. The senior support agent does not honor their commitments when ordering products.

The installation is very easy and the configuration went smoothly. It is user-friendly to configure.

We evaluated other solutions, such as Cyberoam, before choosing FortiGate IPS.

My advice to those wanting to implement this solution is to learn the configuration. There are a lot of features to control that should be taken advantage of.

I rate FortiGate IPS a seven out of ten.

We primarily use this solution as a firewall and an IPS. We are customers of Fortigate and I'm an assistant administrator.

I like the simplicity of the interface, they seem to have a good grasp of that. The solution is also very easy to deploy. 

I think they could improve the monitoring. 

I've been using this solution for almost a year. 

The solution is stable.

Scalability isn't really an issue as it's a network defense system, and it does it inline on the network. No other users interact with it directly.

I think the technical support for this product seems to be better in comparison to other solutions. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. 

The cost of the solution is very good in the context of other, similar solutions on the market. 

For cost effectiveness, they of course have an advantage over the whole firewall DASA series. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.
