Positive

The solution’s initial setup is easier than other products.

It takes one week to deploy FortiWeb Web Application Firewall. As part of the deployment process, we create a FortiGate interface, connect FortiWeb to our website server, create virtual web servers in FortiWeb, and write some access control rules for protection purposes.

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall's pricing is suited for small or medium organizations.

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

I recommend FortiWeb Web Application Firewall to other users because it helps block many attacks that come from the web and application layers. Using the solution to protect organizations from attacks is an easy process.

Overall, I rate FortiWeb Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.

We use the solution in our headquarters. We have some agents outside our company.

The solution is transparent and smooth. So far, the tool has integrated well with our existing security infrastructure.

The price is a little higher than the competitors.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

The technical support team is okay.

We have a consultant who gives us advice about the implementation.

Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

The product's integration with Cisco needs improvement.

I have been using FortiWeb Web Application Firewall for 30 years.

The platform's stability is good, with good assessment and low-level design.

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall's scalability is good.

I have used Palo Alto and Check Point before.

The product is complicated to set up. The deployment time depends on the customer. Some customers have a deployment time of six to seven months, while others have a deployment time of two months. The process involves an assessment for a month, then a low-level design for another month.

FortiWeb has a good presence because of its price.

We are integrators with all the product certifications. We have a good team. We prefer assessment and low-level design before starting with the project.

I rate FortiWeb Web Application Firewall an eight out of ten.

I initially deployed it for my company, but now I administrate it for a client.

We use it to secure VMs and applications in Azure. It protects against DDoS attacks.

It's very user-friendly.

There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster. Plus, they ask for a lot of information. It is not easy to get support. 

In future releases, I would like to see added antivirus features that provide user-based activity indicators. For example, if a user downloads a large number of files or connects frequently, the WAF could flag this activity for investigation.

I have been using it for three months now. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable product. 

For some initial issues. It's good, but not during the first year. FortiWeb could improve response time and first-level support clarity.

Positive

The first implementation with an expert took two hours. My solo attempt took three weeks.

Take time to test it thoroughly. Consider buying an existing solution if needed.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

The tool's HTTP traffic, website fixing, and blocking are fantastic. It is user-friendly with easy configuration. 

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall needs to improve its performance. 

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall is scalable. 

The tool's tech support is good. 

The tool's installation is straightforward. 

FortiWeb Web Application Firewall is not expensive. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I have a multi-cloud environment. I have a production workload in Nigeria, with some data centers in Continental Europe and in the East US in multiple regions.

We have two different public clouds, AWS and Azure. Because of how Fortinet works, we connect to our customers via a remote access VPN.

The fact that I can log into the platform and see everybody, see logs, authentication failure, and see everything on one platform, is the most valuable feature. 

Emails can be configured, and text messages can be sent via the mobile app. 

It is a cheap solution. 

The user interface can be improved. Also, there are authentication failures that need improvement in the next release. 

The technical support team is bad. 

Neutral

I would rate the overall solution a eight out of ten due to the support and user interface issues.
