Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

I deploy SD-WAN and we use it for a next-gen firewall.

The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy. You don't need to buy two separate devices for two functionalities. 

You don't need to spend your time on both devices for an SD-WAN and a security firewall device. You only need to manage in one console

The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function.

I have been using FortiGate for five years. 

Their support is good. They are experts. 

I think the pricing is fair. 

I would rate FortiGate an eight out of ten. They should improve the SD-WAN and central data management center.

We use this solution for securing and controlling our company, as well as to improve VPN services.

This solution has helped us by controlling our incoming and outgoing traffic. It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us.

The most valuable feature is the SD-WAN because I can manage many lines and load balance them all.

I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees.

We have secured our LAN IP subnets with VLAN segregation.

Layer-3 firewall and routing are the most valuable features. We use it as an internal firewall for VLAN segmentation.

When we need to enable Netflow on the firewall, there is a high CPU and memory usage that occurs. They should improve that high CPU and memory usage that occurs.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

Technical support is good.

We were previously using the Check Point and Palo Alto software. The price and user-friendly GUI are the reasons that we switched to this solution.

It is an easy setup and configuration.

It's a user-friendly and stable firewall. You can safely use it for all small and big LAN networks.

We use FortiGate for controlling traffic and policies for web caching, user profiles, IPS, antivirus, etc.

FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful.

I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products.

My company has been using FortiGate for about four months.

This solution is very stable.

This solution is scalable.

Support is very responsive and their staff is well trained.

The initial setup was so easy! FortiGate has everything facilitated for deployment and we are able to do everything from their web interface.

This solution has a very user-friendly interface.

I would rate this a nine out of ten.

I am a reseller of the FortiGate solution and we use it as a firewall to protect the parameter of the network.

The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature.

I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive.

I have been using FortiGate for three years.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It is easy to use, and there are a lot of security features right out of the box. For those who do not need the enterprise VPN, it is an excellent product.

Fortinet products are used mostly for internet firewalls. Fortinet's has a great reputation, and all our computer operators are very happy with it. When it comes to firewalls, Fortinet packages are very attractive, which also helps.

I like how we can achieve total integration.

The cloud features can be improved. The sandboxing part is only available in limited parts of the cloud. If they could expand that, customers would find it slightly better. The price can always be cheaper as well.

We have been using Fortinet FortiGate for about five or six years.

Fortinet FortiGate is very stable. It's a good product.

Technical support was very good.

You need some training, but it's mostly easy. It's a bit of pain, but it's not that difficult, even if you're untrained.

This solution was deployed by a team of four engineers who work under me.

It's expensive, but compared to the competition it's okay. Fortinet's pricing is more attractive than some of its competitors. There's also an annual support license that you can buy with it.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate a nine.

We are resellers of Fortinet FortiGate.

We use this solution locally and as a VPN.

We have a lot of experience with this solution and haven't had any issues. For repairs, the RMA process is also good.

We don't have any issues with the interface, customization, or integration. This solution works well.

We would like to see better pricing.

This version is stable and I don't have any issues with this solution. In our environment, it works well.

Technical support is good.

The price of the license and warranty can be better because it is very expensive.

The license renewal is very expensive.

There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

It is a safe product.

The solution could be more user friendly.

I have been using the solution for approximately 6 years.

It is a stable solution.

We have over 5000 users using the solution at my company.

All the firewalls, more or less are similar, it is very easy to install this type of equipment on the premise of the customer. 

I configured the solution for my clients. We have a minimal of three technical employees doing the maintenance of the solution.

I think Check Point or Cisco are more user-friendly solutions.

We do not have plans to expand usage of the product at this time.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a seven out of ten.
