FortiGate IPS is a solid choice for organizations seeking comprehensive network security. Ensure your team has the technical knowledge required for effective deployment and ongoing management. I rate it an eight.
Fortinet FortiGate IPS is used alone, so there is no need for any integrations. The tool is not majorly used to monitor traffic or intrusions, so it doesn't provide much visibility in such areas. I am not sure whether Fortinet FortiGate IPS can be used easily for monitoring, considering that our company has many firewall tools over different networks. I am not sure whether it is possible to use the tool to log in or sign in individually. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
We used the latest version of Fortinet FortiGate IPS. We require a basic network engineer for the deployment of Fortinet FortiGate IPS. Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten.
Enterprises use Fortinet FortiGate IPS because it protects government or critical infrastructure networks. For small businesses, IPS may be sufficient. Overall, I rate it a six out of ten.

We are a customer and end-user. Fortigate is a one-stop solution for all network needs. There are many features that are embedded into the firewall. The more you use it, the more options will be revealed. It's very strong on the market. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten overall.
I'm a customer and end-user. I've used the solution across two or three companies. Before choosing this solution, I'd advise users to ensure its capabilities match with the company's needs.

The solution is a good tool to have in place. Most vendors provide a software blade with their firewalls but it is disabled because it uses too much CP or memory. It is important to enable the tool every time to prevent environments from being intruded by attackers or threats. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I use a lot of Fortinet devices. I'm a customer and end-user. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. Everything is good. The support is very, very expert. When you need help, all the people are ready to assist - and that is great. Only I recommended new users to take maybe the certification basics, NSE 1, NSE 2. It's free in the academy for Fortinet. Most problems you can fix with that information and that education, so it's very helpful to be knowledgable.
My advice is to go through some basic training before trying to take it out of the box because the language that's used to configure FortiGate is not the language used on the Cisco ASA or on WatchGuard, or Juniper. The language is a little different so what you think you're configuring and what you're able to configure are two different things. The way that the policies are applied is different than it is from other boxes. So just because you have a technician-level cert with Cisco, you will not be able to successfully configure a VPN on a FortiGate. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

We are expanding our Fortinet for our cloud security. The VM will be implemented in our public cloud, which is where we operate. I wouldn't say it's specific to FortiGate; it applies to all firewalls. You should consider the simplicity of the task at hand, as well as the convenience of deployment, maintenance, and, most crucially, the availability of qualified personnel to carry it out. These are the reasons we chose Fortinet. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten.

I'm a part of the team that is testing the Palo Alto solution. We are only responsible for testing to ensure that it matches what we want, but we are not responsible for making the actual decision. Another team will decide which solution to go for based on the contract in terms of money and other things. Technically, either FortiGate or Palo Alto will be able to provide what we want. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten. It is a good product.
