A stable solution with an intuitive interface and quick customer service
I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate, WatchGuard, Sophos, and SonicWall. I'm not as comfortable with SonicWall because of their UI and limitations. I prefer Fortinet above all other options. When it comes to configuration, I am confident in my ability to handle various tasks, including creating policies such as firewall rules, web policies, and application policies. Additionally, I can configure VPNs and implement load balancing, among other tasks. Overall, I feel much more comfortable working with Fortinet. Fortinet has made significant improvements by integrating AI with firewalls for threat analysis and prevention. In the past 2-3 years, they have launched FortiSASE and SIEM, and they also provide SOC services. Both Palo Alto and Fortinet FortiGate are excellent. While Fortinet FortiGate comes at higher prices, the functionality and support justify the cost. They promptly resolve firmware issues and inform all support providers about configuration changes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"We can use our devices to check all of the perimeters. It secures email websites."
"Security management tool that's easy to integrate and easy to work with. No issues found with its stability and scalability."
"This is a quality product with ok support, and it is better than the competition we've tried."
"The primary feature I appreciate about Fortinet FortiGate is the ease of setup."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"It works very well. It has a lot of different functionalities. Its cost is also fine for our customers."
"The solution is very scalable."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"It is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"They can do more tests before they release new versions because I would like to be more assured. We had some experiences where they release something new and great, but some of the old features are disabled or they don't work well, which impacts the product satisfaction. The manufacturer should be able to prove that everything works or not only that it might work. This is applicable to most of the other services, software, and hardware companies. They all should work on this. We cannot trust every new release, such as a beta release, on the first day. We wait for some comments on the forums and from other companies that we know. We always wait a few weeks before we use the updated version. They should also extend the VPN client application, especially for Linux versions. Currently, it has an application for Linux devices, but it doesn't work the way we want to connect to the VPN. They use only the old connection, not the new one. They have VPN client applications for Windows and Mac, but they can add more useful features to better manage the devices and monitor the current health of each device. Such features would be helpful for our company."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"We had some issues in the beginning while setting it up, but after doing the firmware update, it is working fine."
"There should be some open-source training or free training for decision makers, or some webinars should be available. These would help understand the new product line and the existing product line features."
"They could improve the response time and quality of support."
"They could simplify their deployment process, especially when customers have existing devices."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"At this moment, we believe that Fortinet FortiGate should be improved by injecting more AI because the kind of threats we are seeing are more ransomware threats."
"The solution could be more affordable."
"The setup can be complex."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is competitive with other solutions."
"Its price is normal. If I compare it with other vendors, such as Palo Alto, it's normal. Palo Alto is expensive."
"At the time we bought them, I was satisfied with their pricing; I don't know how the new pricing will be."
"It is affordable. Palo Alto is much more expensive than Fortinet."
"​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"
"The price of Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable for an SME."
"The licensing costs are very low."
"Setup costs and pricing depends on many variables, but it's mostly affordable."
Information not available
"I would say, from our cost perspective, they are extremely competitive."
"The price of the solution could be more affordable. Customers want to use their own cheap connection and also do not want to pay too much for services from this solution, it becomes too expensive."
