| IT Analyst at Evapco, Inc. | 4.0 | I use Fortinet FortiDDoS for VPN and final protection with two firewalls effectively maintained by Multiprox. I haven't faced any issues and find it a good solution, though changing the firewall model could improve performance. |
| Pre-Sales Manager at Vinlano | 4.0 | As a system integrator, I sought a UTM for customers, finding Fortinet FortiDDoS effective in mitigating DDoS attacks with packet inspection and real-time attack monitoring. Improvement is needed in personal data protection features, especially for Indonesia's PDP issues. |
| IT Manager-Infrastructure at Southstar Drug | 2.5 | We strategically deployed Fortinet appliances to secure our network traffic in the Philippines. The cloud DDoS scrubbing capability is valuable, but the 10 GB on-premises capacity limit poses scalability challenges, requiring costly upgrades compared to more flexible cloud solutions. |
| Systems Engineer at aic² | 4.0 | Fortinet FortiDDoS is easy to use, featuring a user-friendly GUI and smooth troubleshooting. It offers multiple ways to protect web interfaces but needs improvement in application traffic management, where some features are lacking compared to other products. |
| Manager, Information Technology at Parag Milk Foods Ltd | 5.0 | I find Fortinet FortiDDoS valuable for its effective daily email alerts and portal reports, making it user-friendly for monitoring and updating policies. However, the product's pricing requires improvement. Overall, I consider it beneficial despite the cost concern. |
| GRC Cyber Security Consultant at RMG Connect -Reporting | 4.5 | We use Fortinet FortiDDoS to protect our network from attacks. The product's valuable feature is its ability to adjust thresholds, though its alerts and reporting features need improvement. We did not evaluate other solutions or cloud providers. |
| Partenaire, CEO at a tech services company with 1-10 employees | 3.5 | I believe Fortinet is a good solution, but its reliance on scarce experts, complexity, and high cost are significant issues. Most existing solutions are too difficult for SMBs, highlighting a need for simple, highly automated tools that don't require specialized skills. |
| Owner at Rischio Compliance | 5.0 | I find Fortinet FortiDDoS valuable for its protection resources and excellent support. The main challenge is adapting to stringent security requirements, especially in Brazil. Despite this, the solution offers a good return on investment by enhancing security management. |
