FortiGate SWG is mainly used for threat detection and response.

FortiGate SWG has helped our IT security teams to be faster and more responsive.

FortiGate SWG's most valuable feature is integration with vulnerability management.

I've been using FortiGate SWG for two years.

FortiGate SWG is scalable.

Fortinet's technical support is very good.

The initial setup is medium complex and takes between five days and a week.

I would rate FortiGate SWG nine out of ten.

Fortinet protects us from web attacks. We also use it to connect our remote users. I'm the IT infrastructure lead. 

I think the overall security features and the performance routing is good.

The security features are good but I'd like to see additional security options. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

It's a stable solution, yes.

The initial setup is simple and took us about half an hour. We have 50 users in the company. We have one person who deals with all our maintenance and deployment issues. 

We have a three-year license.

I recommend this solution and rate it eight out of 10. 

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.

Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution.

I am satisfied with the technical support from Fortinet FortiGate.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The price of Fortinet FortiGate is reasonable.

I am satisfied with the solution.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

My company is a system integrator in Brazil, and we are also a partner. We mainly use it for SD-WAN purposes. It is being used in the public sector and the commercial sector.

In terms of deployment, some customers deploy it on-premises, and some customers deploy it on the cloud.

The inspection and web security features are most valuable.

In Brazil, the main problem that we have is related to the protection from various attacks and ransomware in the public sector and the commercial sector. The main focus in Brazil is to deploy a solution to counter-attack ransomware and other attacks.

There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios. 

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

I use Fortinet FortiGate for my customers to have a secure network.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration.

Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately two years.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be stable.

Fortinet FortiGate is scalable.

The technical support from Fortinet FortiGate is good.

I have used Cisco solutions previously.

Fortinet FortiGate is simple to implement. We have five engineers and five analysts that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The price of Fortinet FortiGate could improve, it is expensive.

Overall Fortinet FortiGate is a good solution.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

I am using Fortinet FortiGate as a firewall.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS.

Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful.

The way Fortinet FortiGate handles the phase two connection of a VPN setup could be better. For example, if I have to make a phase two traffic selector input, I cannot add more ports. For example, on a specific IP address pair, if I have an IP address pair source and destination, then I can only add one port. I'm not sure if I can do that through the command line, but on the GUI, I cannot, and this is a problem. I have to select another IP address pair to allow another port and this means new traffic selectors and a new set of tunnels. This causes more tunnels to need troubleshooting. 

I would like to be able to pass more diverse information through the same tunnel, and it doesn't seem to be possible if you want to limit the traffic through the tunnel and not allow all protocols between the same IP address pair. If we want to limit the ports, then I find there is a problem.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately a year and a half.

We have a contract with a Fortinet partner, and they're very good at providing support. We don't have the communication directly with Fortinet.

I have previously used a Cisco firewall, the 5520 model. It was not a next-generation firewall and did not have IPS integrated, and it was quite difficult to manage and to find features and implement them. Fortinet FortiGate is very good at this.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate is straightforward.

I do not have first-hand experience with the rice of Fortinet FortiGate, but I have heard the price was reasonable.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a ten out of ten.

We use FortiGate for controlling traffic and policies for web caching, user profiles, IPS, antivirus, etc.

FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful.

I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products.

My company has been using FortiGate for about four months.

This solution is very stable.

This solution is scalable.

Support is very responsive and their staff is well trained.

The initial setup was so easy! FortiGate has everything facilitated for deployment and we are able to do everything from their web interface.

This solution has a very user-friendly interface.

I would rate this a nine out of ten.

I am a reseller of the FortiGate solution and we use it as a firewall to protect the parameter of the network.

The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature.

I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive.

I have been using FortiGate for three years.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It is easy to use, and there are a lot of security features right out of the box. For those who do not need the enterprise VPN, it is an excellent product.
