Fortinet FortiWeb Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Security.

• Web application security features, because they are more effective
• Stability 
• Auto Learn feature: Makes policy additions or deletions for my customers very simple

HA Architecture. I would improve it by working on AP HA.

No issues with stability.

No issues with stability, with the true network topology.

I am Fortinet expert, but L4 support is working very well.

Previously used F5, NetScaler, Imperva. Other products feature LB WAFs, so a limited WAF feature. This product's primary feature is WAF. I chose this product because it prioritizes security.

Very complex. More security features.

Cheaper than others.

F5, NetScaler, Imperva and Squid.

Here's how I would break down my rating of this product:

• Session Management: 10 out of 10 
• Security: 10 out of 10 
• Stability: 10 out of 10
• Health check feature: eight out of 10.

If your goal is security, FortiWeb is your best choice.

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.

We use it mostly to secure our web platform for things like Internet banking, email, and SMTP. It is for anything that is external coming into our internal network.

We were having a lot of probe attacks coming through from our external networks. Now, the traffic has to come through our firewall, then FortiWeb. Basically, FortiWeb acts like a second firewall for all our applications.

We have been using all the features and everything is nice. 

I have recently been looking at the SSL certificate features and the learning mode of the appliance. This appliance learns from the pattern of SSL attacks. 

We would like the interface to be easier to use and more user-friendly. The interface needs to be enhanced. 

We had trouble understanding it at first, but we got used to using it after six months. Then, it was simple to use.

We have been using it for five years (since 2015). 

We haven't had any issues with it so far. 

The scalability is okay. There hasn't been a need to upgrade. We have found something that can adapt to our environment and that we can use for a long period of time.

We plan to use the product for the next two years. There are no major upgrades planned anytime soon.

There are four users for the product (with two being from the security team).

We have needed minimal support for the solution. The support has been okay.

We did not have a solution that we previously used.

It is complex to set up in learning mode. It takes a lot of time to learn the pattern of the web application before we put in the rule. The rule itself is a bit complex. We had to go by trial and error because there is nothing standard on the device.

The deployment took almost six hours to get up and running.

We used a reseller. They helped us implement the device. 

The reseller also does deployment and maintenance. For this, it takes about two of their staff and one or two of our staff internally. The staff will generally have experience in networking and firewalls with a background in security and port mapping.

All our Fortinet pricing is bundled together for different products, like FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiWeb. FortiWeb, by itself, is probably around $2,500 to $3,500.

Since we were using FortiGate firewall, we decided to look at FortiWeb. We also looked into several solutions, like Check Point and Palo Alto.

The type of product you get depends on what you want to protect, how you want to protect it, and how many people will be accessing FortiWeb.

What we have now is working fine.

I would rate FortiWeb as an eight (out of 10).

We are primarily using the solution for our security applications as well as email and internet protection.

The product is very easy to use.

We find that it is quite stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale quite well.

The installation process is very simple. 

The technical support on offer is helpful.

The solution could offer more integration opportunities. 

We started using the solution about five or so years ago. It's been a while at this point. 

The stability has been good over the years. It does not crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance is reliable. 

The product does scale well. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

Some of our clients have over a hundred users. Others only have 50. the size of the setups varies. 

We've had a good experience with technical support. They are helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of service they provide. 

We also currently use Cisco for some security and protection.

We found the initial setup to be easy. It's straightforward. It's not complex or difficult at all. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup at all.

The installation and deployment process is fast. It doesn't take more than a day.

We have two engineers on staff that can handle deployment and maintenance. 

We have a team in-house that can manage it. We don't need the assistance of outside integrators or consultants. 

We have a yearly subscription that we renew annually.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number, as I don't have it on hand. 

We're a company that helps implement this product for clients. 

At this time, I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten. We've largely been very satisfied with its capabilities. 

I'd recommend the product to other users and companies. 

We are using this product to protect something similar to an online banking network.

We have had a lot of web application attacks and this product has protected us. Once it was implemented, most of our problems were solved. For example, we had a DDoS attack against the seventh layer and it protected us.

The most valuable feature is that this product represents a whole solution, including a WAF, and even anti-defacements. It is not just a single feature.

Anti-defacement has an amazing feature whereby if something bypasses the WAF then they can rollback the website.

The user experience is very good and it is simple to use.

They have AI and machine learning capabilities, so if you are using the WAF then you don't need extra features.

The initial setup in our data center was somewhat complex.

We have been using Fortinet FortiWeb since 2008.

FortiWeb is a stable product.

We have been working with this solution for more than 12 years and it has scaled with our requirements. We upgraded a lot of hardware and applications, and things change from time to time. There is not just a single point where we changed something that tested the scalability.

Technical support is amazing. We have 24x7 support and every time we have contacted them, it takes less than two hours before everything is solved. We are confident that if we have any issue then we can communicate with the vendor and they will help us to solve the problem.

In our data center and with the complexity of it, it takes one or two days to implement and fine-tune.

We deployed this product in-house. We started with the training and then we implemented the solution. In case we have any problem then we can communicate with the vendor.

We have three security specialists who work as a team for maintenance.

We renew our contract and license every three years. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. There is just one cost.

Prior to implementing FortiWeb, we tested Barracuda, F5, Citrix, and Sophos.

FortiWeb is a security product that I can recommend. My advice for anybody who is implementing this type of solution is not to simply believe the words of the vendors. Test the product in your environment and then you can select the best one for your needs. A lot of vendors nowadays will tell you that they are the best, but the best thing to do is test each of the products inside your network.

The roadmap that the vendor has for this product is good. They have a lot of extra features that they are developing for future releases. They have an amazing R&D team, they know the competition, and they know the market. In my department, we find that it is amazing and are not searching for additional functionality.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
