Fortinet FortiProxy's valuable features include simplicity, performance, proactive alarms, granular application control, DNS filtering, traffic inspections, intrusion prevention, and antivirus profiles. Its user-friendliness and easy integration with security products enhance threat intelligence. Granular access control allows detailed web policies, optimizing bandwidth and enhancing security. Deep Packet Inspection and application signatures provide advanced threat protection and policy enforcement. It also supports graphical and CLI configurations, excels in response time, management efforts, and caching capabilities.
- "The most valuable feature is intrusion prevention (IPS) and antivirus profiles. These features help control user activity, ensuring that they access only permitted websites and protects from downloading viruses."
- "I liked the tool's ability to provide detailed access control. For example, we could allow users to watch YouTube videos but not post comments. This level of control wasn't available in FortiGate."
- "We can use Fortinet FortiProxy configuration for your network."
Fortinet FortiProxy requires improvements such as enhanced documentation and guides, integration of AI/ML technologies, better web filtering capabilities, and a more flexible pricing structure. The reporting features need refinement for IT administrators and managers, and the interface should support multiple languages like French. Enhancements are necessary in policy management tools, intrusion prevention systems, and handling of remote users. The web categorization and local priority customization could be improved, along with addressing bugs in policy testing.
- "Integration with existing infrastructure was generally easy, especially if you had tools like LDAP. However, I had to go through a lot of documentation as it was my first time working with a proxy server. We did experience some issues with certain web applications not working properly after implementing Fortinet FortiProxy."
- "I see that the solution's interface is not in French...It would be good for our company if we could have the tool interface in French."
- "The tool's most valuable feature is its granular access control. For example, users can browse the main site if you allow access to Amazon, but it stops them from visiting secondary Amazon websites without specific permission. This granular control is really helpful."
