Fortinet FortiNAC Reviews

You can simply control whole network even you can check your switches configuration

Compliance checks are a good feature. Compliance check is for windows updates and for antivirus updates, etc. 

Security is also good. No guest can enter without credentials, such as usernames and passwords. You have full visibility, which is very good.

The implementation process needs improvement. Right now, it's somewhat complicated. They could create some templates to facilitate implementation. Right now everything is done manually, and it just takes a really long time at the initial setup.  

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is easily scalable. Once you have one working correctly, you can expand easily to make it as big as you want. However, setting up the first properly takes time.

I've contacted technical support three or four times. They have been very good.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

The initial setup is complex. How long it takes to deploy depends on the complexity of the project, for example, if you are setting up the solution at branches or just at one location. So long as the team is cooperating and coordinating, it shouldn't take more than three months. You only need one to two engineers to deploy the solution. Afterward, you may only need one person for maintenance.

You need professional engineers to set up the solution. Only trained and experienced people will be able to handle the implementation.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

In terms of advice I'd give to others, I'd say the most important thing to worry about is organizing the network, like active directory groups and groups of users, etc. Organize the groups with VLAN IDs that are not too specific and the VLANs should be on all company switches.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is good at giving a deep dive into each product. It tells you, for example, what is connected to the network. It gives us good reporting tools.

I think the network devices need to give more information.

In the next release, we'd like to see more information on controlling, for example, adding more policies etc. We should get more information about IoT devices, and have more information available for the users.

Scalability can be improved.

The solution is good, so I've had no reason to contact Technical Support.

This is the first product we have used.

The initial setup was straightforward. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.

We used a consultant to assist with implementation. They were good. We didn't have a problem with them.

We evaluated so many other products but we found the features of this solution to be the most valuable.

I would rate this solution at a seven or eight out of 10. If they improved their network devices and their IoT product I would rate them higher. The solution is pretty inexpensive. That's why we are using it. I am satisfied with the interface, the dashboard, and the overall support.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

The most valuable features are the ease of deployment and ease of use.

The reporting is good.

This solution could be more agile.

The technical support is in need of improvement.

I have between six and eight months of experience with FortiNAC.

FortiNAC is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution and most of our customers are enterprise-level organizations. The majority and financial institutions and government bodies.

I feel that technical support can be improved.

The complexity of the installation and the length of time for deployment depends on the client's requirements, as well as their level of involvement. 

The pricing is similar to that of other solutions.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is to first do a proof of concept. Everybody has different requirements and it is best to ensure that FortiNAC meets your needs before implementing it.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our customers use it for micro-segmentation in the network and authentication.

We typically install this solution for medium-sized companies.

It expands authentication. It's incredibly good with profiling and onboarding methods.

Overall, it's a great product. The GUI is a little bit strange — different than other Fortinet products. It could be more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for one year.

Fortinet FortiNAC is both scalable and stable.

Their technical support is very good. I am satisfied. 

It depends on the client and infrastructure, but it's very well documented. FortiNAC has a huge documentation library with a really good deployment and installation guide. 

Deployment time depends on the size and infrastructure of the company.

I handle the implementation for our customers but I rarely perform maintenance.

I believe there are three types of licenses based on three uses: visibility, control, and response — if I remember correctly. 

Be sure to carefully read over the documentation pack because it's really great — I Absolutely love it.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of ten.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

My role is security and I deal with products to protect data centers. FortiNAC makes up part of the security solution in a data center.

The most valuable features are usability and security.

The response and resolution time for technical support issues need to be improved. Support overall needs to be a little faster.

I have two years of experience with FortiNAC.

FortiNAC is a stable product.

Scalability depends on licensing. Our customers vary in size from small and medium-sized businesses to enterprise-level organizations.

The technical support is in need of improvement because sometimes it takes too long to resolve issues.

I have worked with other similar solutions including Cisco ISE. I find that many of the SMBs and Enterprise-level customers choose Cisco instead.

The installation is pretty simple. The length of time for deployment depends on the planning and what is in the environment. It will normally take about a day.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
