Fortinet FortiWeb Reviews

We use Fortinet FortiWeb for our VPN. The solution is always updated to the latest version.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

It's easy to use and allows us to integrate solutions together.

The solution could have more customization.

I have used this solution for one year.

It's very stable.

I would rate the stability as six out of ten.

It's scalable. 

I would rate the scalability as seven out of ten.

Technical support is helpful and they respond quickly. I would rate them as eight out of ten.

I would rate the setup as five out of ten.

Our IT department implemented the solution.

The cost isn't expensive.

I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

We are a system integrator so we propose FortiWeb to our clients who are looking to protect their public web applications like e-banking platforms, teleservice, and so on.

A customer said to us that before FortiWeb they regularly had to back up their whole website folder to prevent defacement and ransomware. Now, with the FortiWeb Anti-defacement feature, this process is handled more intelligently, as FortiWeb does it for them.

Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.).

FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection.

I rate FortiWeb at eight out of 10 because it is good at what it does but I think it could do more, like combining DDoS protection.

• UTM
• Ease of use
• Built-in server load balancing
• VPN
• Next-gen firewall features

It provides good security visibility.

A BYOD feature is missing; this could be a good add-on.

I have used it for about 18 months.

I did not really encounter any stability issues; it performs well.

I have not encountered any scalability issues in 18 months.

Technical support is average; it could improve.

We previously used Cisco PIX and ASA. We switched because there is no next-gen firewall in the Cisco portfolio.

Initial setup was straightforward.

Pricing is competitive. Licensing could get expensive as we add feature sets.

Before choosing this product, we evaluated Palo Alto, SonicWALL and Juniper.

It is a good option, keeping in mind pricing and features.

• Firewall policy

• Internet
• Servers

I have used it for a year and a half.

We had one stability issue when I ran it once with Wireshark; it froze.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

I cannot rate technical support because I have not used it yet.

I switched from SonicWALL to Fortinet. I am happier now.

Initial setup was not that difficult. It was different to my previous solution; I could do it on my own.

Before choosing this product, I did not evaluate other options.

• Be aware of logs.
• Does not compare with Check Point about finding policies.

Application delivery is strong.

It has provided stability to applications.

The hardware does not measure up. Fortinet does not have sturdy hardware.

I have been using it for three years.

My client was using it when we took over operation of the project.

The price is not too low and it’s not too high.

I did not evaluate other options. This product was already implemented.

Check the market before implementing it... because I didn’t get the chance to do so.

We are a solution provider and I work in the sales team. We resell the Fortinet brand, including the firewall and other solutions.

I have experience with both using and configuration of Fortinet products.

We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiWeb for five or six years.

FortiGate is a stable product.

I have a good relationship with the support teams in Peru, and we are well-supported.

We have not needed support to assist with deployment, but we have worked with them for troubleshooting problems.

I am familiar with solutions from other vendors, but the majority of my knowledge is of Fortinet products.

We have not had any problems with deployment.

We have a network team that deploys this solution for different clients. We have three engineers in charge of deployment and maintenance.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
