Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

• Policy control
• Web filtering
• Application filter works smoothly.
• Controlling and tracing with web console works nicely for windows systems.
• Better QoS than Checkpoint, I believe.

Previously, my organization had the Checkpoint firewall solution, which has been replaced by the Fortinet Fortigate solution, which is cost effective and more manageable from a beginner's perspective.

Fine QoS and Web based filtering solution is a plus.

• Maybe Linux system monitoring can be improved by the developers of the product.
• Although it has policy control and web filtering, these could be better.
• Application filter needs more control options.
• IP tracing works only so-so.
• Controlling and tracing with web console for Linux only obtains IP addresses.

In an upcoming release, Fortinet FortiGate should add an SD-WAN feature.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately five years.

The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve.

At the moment, we don't have any plans to extend our usage of this solution — currently, we are happy with the way things are.

The next-generation firewall is great.

The captive portal could be improved.

I have been using this solution for four years.

This solution is very stable.

I have never had to contact customer support. We have a team that handles all of the troubleshooting; however, they do provide excellent documentation.

The initial setup was very easy.

At the moment, we don't have a deployment strategy.

We have a team of three people who handle all maintenance-related issues.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate a rating of ten.

My primary use is for border protection for connectivity out onto the Internet. This product has performed exceptionally well.

It just runs. We have had very few issues with the solution.

It is a good product from a price perspective versus functionality. It is easy to use and performs very well.

There could be more integration between the logging and analytical platforms to make it more seamless and integrated.

It is a very secure, easily managed product. It keeps up-to-date with all the variabilities.

Price-wise, it's at a good price point for our market.

If someone is considering this solution, they should do their homework to learn about the product. A user should make sure they compare between a short list of products. The choice should be made after considering price, support, ease of access, and evaluation of integration with other products the organization still uses. Due diligence is the key to integrating a solution.

Our primary use is for firewall protection. 

It provides security purposes, and it makes our network safe from outside attacks.

The most valuable feature is the bundled subscription, which is IPS, TV and web filtering. I also like the application control.

I think they need to improve more in order to be a competitor with the leaders of the field. 

It is stable, there is not too much downtime.

They need to be competitive with other solutions.

I primarily use this product as a firewall protection. 

With Fortigate, I find fewer attacks. The console easily alerts me about possible attacks so I can prevent the malware attacks.

It is easy to use.

The UTM filtering control could be improved. 

I do not have problems with the stability of the solution. It works well.

We do not use a lot of tech support. It is not readily available in our area.

The price of the solution is not expensive. It is affordable.

I use Fortinet Fortigate. First of all, I use them as perimeter firewall. Secondly, I use it for a  data center firewall for internal segmentation.

The main benefit is the grouping of our security monitoring. I have all of my solutions from the same brand, Fortinet. I have only one console, one dashboard, all the security incidents that occurs on the network.

The Fortinet FortiGate product has original features that we use. 

These features include:

• IPS
• Anti-Malware
• Web Application Firewall

I am looking to implement key authentication for admin access for the Fortinet product.

The technical support is great. 

I was involved in the initial setup. When we decided to use Fortinet, we were already a customer of Fortinet. So, my previous firewall also was Fortinet and the experience with the brand and with the provider was very good. We have no issues. We like to keep with the same brand.

Fortinet is a very good solution. It would not be a mistake to choose Fortinet as a solution.

In the past, we had evaluated Palo Alto and Cisco as possible solutions. 

I use this product on AWS. FortiGate's VM GUI is slightly different than the hardware devices.

It is a one box solution, which covers most of the edge device’s requirements.

I have found FortiGuard Services to be valuable.

It needs to improve its ISP load balancing.

No issues.

No issues.

I would rate technical support as a seven out of 10.

We had a previous solution, but switch because FortiGate is a one box solution.

Initial setup was not complex.

Easy to understand licensing requirements.

• Palo Alto Networks
• Cisco ASA

Easy to implement, and it is also reliable.
