Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

It gives a good overview of the security posture

The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate.

Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use. Instead of double clicking the items FortiGate needs to click the "details" button to get the configurations or record details

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately four years.

So far the solution is quite stable 

They provide different products and features and can be added if you needed 

This is the first solution we used since we moved to Cloud 

We used a partner to do the implementation of the solution.

The price of Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable for an SME.

No

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

We use this solution as our Firewall.

FortiGate is a service, and because of that, I don't use it very much. The equipment is for the operator that monitors who is on the internet, nothing more.

It has improved our productivity because we can control the people who go on the internet, and we control their access to social networks.

The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota. It allows the user to go where they want to go and to use the internet.

The price could be improved.

In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately six years.

It's a stable solution. It works for us.

This is not an area fully explored. It has been sufficient for what we need.

We have 700 users in our organization who are using this solution. We don't have plans to increase our usage at this time.

We have not needed any technical support for the Fortinet FortiGate service.

The initial set up was not something that I was concerned with.

The price could be lower.

It's a good tool to control users.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for the UTM it offers and the access to VPN. We have branches in Rio, Singapore and the UK. I'm an information security manager and we are customers of Fortinet. 

The most valuable features for me are the web tutor and the automated rules by schedule - the VPN itself. 

Fortinet is huge in today's market and they've become quite expensive. I think there are products at the same level as Fortinet, but with better prices. They've changed their subscription plan and are now forcing companies to subscribe 24/7. 

I've been using the solution for around five years. 

We never had any issues or problems related to stability. 

There are other products on the market that are a little better than FortiGate in terms of scalability, but in general it's a good solution. We have about 200 users in the company. 

We didn't need to contact technical support very much. We had a local partner and if there were problems we contacted them directly.

The initial setup was straightforward. We were implementing on a large project and it took a weekend to completely deploy with all the features, connections and everything. 

They have very good documentation and if you've had experience with other products I'm pretty sure that you'd be able to deploy just by reading the documentation.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use this solution for edge protection in SOHO and K-12 environments.

FortiOS has a very good, intuitive GUI.

This solution has solid UTM features combined with a nice GUI.

The Web-filter in this solution is not very good. Perhaps because Fortinet does not want to compete with its own dedicated solution.

My primary use case of this solution is as a data center. It performs very well.

It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration.

I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future.

I think the product is stable. It is amazing.

It is amazing, but sometimes there are issues with Fortinet Integrations. But, I know they are now trying to rectify the problem.

We have good technical support from the vendor.

It was very straightforward. An easy installation process.

I think when you look at this product, you must realize that the box hardware and software are vary stable. And, the pricing is perfect.

I am using different features of this product but the most valuable are -

• SSL VPN
• Web filter
• Explicit proxy
• IPS
• Application control
• Routing

I replaced my core router with a Fortigate appliance and it is performing inter-VLAN routing. I removed manual proxies and used transparent proxy using Fortigate security profiles, and implemented traffic shaping, web filter, application control, IPS and anti-virus. All the servers are protected by Fortigate security profiles.

• WAN link load balancing
• Reports
• Anti-virus.

I have been using this solution since 2013.

We faced some technical issues on the Fortinet side.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

6/10.

6/10.

I didn't use any other solution prior to Fortinet.

It was complex because there was a huge network with VLANs configured and routing protocols enabled.

We implement this through a vendor. I would rate their level of experience 8/10.

I would only say that Fortinet provides business and security returns at a cost substantially lower than the benefits derived.

We evaluated Sophos and Barracuda alongside Fortigate.

Our experience of using Fortigate is excellent and we strongly recommend it.

My company is a system integrator in Brazil, and we are also a partner. We mainly use it for SD-WAN purposes. It is being used in the public sector and the commercial sector.

In terms of deployment, some customers deploy it on-premises, and some customers deploy it on the cloud.

The inspection and web security features are most valuable.

In Brazil, the main problem that we have is related to the protection from various attacks and ransomware in the public sector and the commercial sector. The main focus in Brazil is to deploy a solution to counter-attack ransomware and other attacks.

There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios. 

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

I use Fortinet FortiGate for my customers to have a secure network.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration.

Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately two years.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be stable.

Fortinet FortiGate is scalable.

The technical support from Fortinet FortiGate is good.

I have used Cisco solutions previously.

Fortinet FortiGate is simple to implement. We have five engineers and five analysts that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of Fortinet FortiGate could improve, it is expensive.

Overall Fortinet FortiGate is a good solution.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.
