Fortinet FortiWeb Reviews

We use the solution for the office in Oracle.

Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well.

The product’s stability could be improved.

I have been using Fortinet FortiWeb for one year. We are using the latest version of the solution.

The product’s stability is normal. I rate it six out of ten.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup depends on technical knowledge.

The solution is cheaper compared with other solutions. It has a yearly license.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Fortinet FortiWeb was used to support mobile applications.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the ease of integration and configuration.

Fortinet FortiWeb could improve in reference architecture for different deployment scenarios.

I have been using Fortinet FortiWeb for approximately three years.

Fortinet FortiWeb is stable.

The technical support from Fortinet FortiWeb is excellent.

I have used many other solutions and I formally recommend NGINX. The challenge I have with NGINX is handing over the project to the end customer. The skillsets for managing NGINX as a WAF are a lot. This is what was drawing me towards F5. I wanted something that is seamless from end-to-end, for the customer.

The advantages of NGINX are that it's community-based, and you can get it anytime. Fortinet FortiWeb you have to go through a channel, there's an initial acquisition, and then the annual support which are things that we don't have to consider when we're dealing with NGINX.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiWeb was easy. The full implementation took approximately one week.

The price of Fortinet FortiWeb depends from customer to customer because some customers are considering using other solutions, such as Imperva. The price of Fortinet FortiWeb sits well for the middle-sized customers that we deal with.

The price is based on our partner model, we are able to negotiate a good discount on GPR because we're also selling the firewall appliance.

I rate Fortinet FortiWeb a seven out of ten.

Normally I deal with on-premises installations. The firewalls are always on-prem for government departments. In a recent case, I was looking at a cloud solution because it was what the client preferred. So it was the Fortinet rules applied to an AWS solution. I was looking at the architecture around becoming an IRAP (Information Security Registered Assessors Program) certified program and I was looking at the AWS firewalls around how it would be able to comply with the ISM (International Safety Management) standards.  

For me personally, the most valuable thing is that I like the fact that it is standardized so both internal firewall management and the cloud can be managed by the same company. Communication between the two works well and it can be a benefit. We can keep a single console to manage both.  

User administrative controls could be a little bit better. I guess that would be the main thing. The usability within Fortinet could be a little bit easier on the users. But it is what it is.  

The thing that was more difficult was not the tool itself but dealing with the logistics of the compliance issues. I was applying a standard set of rules to an AWS firewall. It served a purpose. The complex part of the solution was more of a compliance issue.  

We have been using Fortinet FortiWeb probably for over a year-and-a-half. Closer to two years.  

At this point in time, scalability seems to be fine. I mean, we are talking processing requests from all over Australia. It seems to be keeping up quite well. My impression of it at this stage is that it is very scalable. It is quite well suited for data management.  

I think judging our experience with technical support is a little bit unfair because I know all the local support people. I do go into the help desk when I have to, but I do know most of the teachers or technical support staff. I would rate them as being very responsive to customers. I have had no issues. If I need something I can get it answered within the hour. It is quite good.  

It was quite easy to do the initial setup and apply basic rules. Administratively, keeping an AWS firewall and applying the Fortinet rules made it quite simple for the difficulty level of this particular requirement.  

I think that ForiWeb is expensive for what they are offering. At the end of the day, when you sell a suite, compliance within the suite is easy to maintain. That is the good part. It is an expensive suite and it is an expensive solution, but it is a manageable one for an enterprise. It should just be cheaper for what they are offering in comparison to other tools on the market.  

My advice to people would be to evaluate the marketplace against your requirements and choose appropriately. Fortinet does operate at the enterprise level. It is listed on the Australian standard and it does carry Australia's approval for common criteria. So it does address the requirements needed for security for the assessments. Not every product can.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate this Fortinet solution as a seven-out-of-ten because of user administrative controls, usability, and price.  

The solution's most valuable feature is its security profile. 

The solution could improve its ease of use and add more advanced WAF features in future releases.

I have been working with the product for more than five years. 

I've worked with both F5 and Fortinet and find F5 to be much better. F5 is easier to implement, more compatible with applications, and more robust and stable. Regarding securing applications behind the WAF, F5 generally provides better security.

The solution's implementation is not complex and depends on the number and complexity of customers' applications. 

Fortinet FortiWeb's pricing is reasonable. Its licensing costs are yearly. 

The product has been in the WAF business for a long time. Its maturity cannot be compared to other alternatives. Based on my experience with Fortinet FortiWeb, I'd recommend it in specific cases, especially if you have a limited budget. It can meet basic requirements. However, other vendors have better features and support. I rate the overall product a six out of ten. 

We use FortiWeb for protecting web applications.

The product has a very user-friendly dashboard.

The software's support services could be better compared to Sophos.

The product's scalability could be better compared to Sophos.

It is challenging to communicate with the FortiWeb's support team.

We use Sophos as well.

FortiWeb's configuration process is more difficult than Sophos. I rate the process a one out of ten.

The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten.

I rate FortiWeb a five out of ten.

I am using FortiWeb as a web application firewall and as a load balancer for HTTP applications. 

The most valuable feature is ease of use.

It has an all-in-one license, unlike F5 where you need separate licenses for the antivirus, IP reputation, denial of service attacks, etc. With FortiWeb, the all-in-one license is one of the most beneficial features.

I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device. For example, if I have one device that costs $2,600 USD then it can have two licenses, where it can operate as a load balancer as well as a WAF.

We have been using FortiWeb for three years.

This is a good solution, stability-wise.

FortiWeb is a scalable product and we have about 3,000 users.

That said, we need to purchase a model with more capacity because this is a small one, and our business has expanded in the past three years.

We have been in contact with technical support and we are satisfied with them.

We did not use another similar solution before choosing FortiWeb.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Any FortiWeb deployment needs about two weeks because when it is first implemented, in phase one, machine learning takes place. It is needed because every application needs some customization. FortiWeb needs approximately two weeks to build this profile. After that, an expert will do some fine-tuning on the profile and the appliance will start to work.

During the deployment, we used a system integrator, but after that, we can manage it by ourselves. Our network team has seven people including one technician, one manager, and five administrators.

There are no licensing costs.

In summary, this is a good product and I can recommend it for others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are partners with Fortinet. We specialize in power customers. We use many products like FortiGate, FortiWeb, FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, and FortiSandbox.

All the FortiGate products are new, even the Fortinet switches we are selling to our customers. We also install and configure the network for our customers.

With this product, you can secure all the Fortinet products together. I'm an entrepreneur. Most people fail in the publication of a firewall.

FortiWeb offers machine learning in the latest product. Before that, there was an auto-learning feature. This fixed many problems. There are no false negatives now. 

Fortinet FortiWeb now has artificial intelligence and machine learning.

What I would like to see improved in Fortinet FortiWeb will probably be included in the next release. The legal feature needs better step-by-step use of the form. 

We use the FortiGate guidebook for step-by-step instructions. But the FortiWeb guidebook is only is a demonstration kit which is not enough for a new installation.

FortiWeb is a stable solution.

Fortinet FortiWeb is not scalable. There is a model and a license if you want to use it. You'll need more budget to change the hardware. FortiWeb is not scalable on the same plan.

The initial setup is not simple for all the products. Some Fortinet products vary, but overall it is straightforward.

In the version of Fortinet FortiWeb that we have, it does not include the scanner. We cannot access every feature. If you have all the popular products, you can use the system perfectly to connect everything. 

Fortinet can improve the security firebase in support for HTTPS and the CPU with additional configurations. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate Fortinet FortiWeb a two.

We are using Fortinet FortiWeb to deliver service to our customers.

The valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb vulnerability scanner.

I have been using Fortinet FortiWeb for approximately 14 years.

The Fortinet FortiWeb is very stable.

We did not have any problems with the scalability of Fortinet FortiWeb.

We have the development and network teams using the solution. It is approximately seven people in total.

I did not use the support from Fortinet FortiWeb.

The initial setup We Fortinet FortiWeb is straightforward. The full process of the deployment took approximately two weeks to 16 days.

Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company.

The license to use Fortinet FortiWeb is approximately $14,000.

I rate the price of Fortinet FortiWeb a four out of five.

The solution does not require a lot of maintenance.

I would recommend this solution to others. If someone wants to use the internet with an application website or any other internet application, content filtering is very useful to filter all the requests that are coming to the server so that no one can hack or harm the system.

I rate Fortinet FortiWeb a nine out of ten.
