Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

I used FortiGate only for the firewall.

The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much.

The functions are designed very logically.

The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for about one month.

I have not experienced any bugs or glitches.

Scalability-wise, I haven't had any problems. Because of the price, I would say that this product is better for large enterprises.

My colleague set up FortiGate.

Fortinet bundles FortiGate with other products and because of this, the price is a little expensive to some SMB enterprises. 

FortiGate is the number one solution, both in the global market and the Chinese market. Most of the Chinese market follows FortiGate's news and its roadmap is very popular. I would recommend people buy it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use this solution as a security perimeter and for VPN. We are partners of Fortinet. 

I like the anti-malware and web filtering features. 

The solution could be more evenly structured and I'd like to see orchestration in the calls included. The solution currently lacks that feature. 

I've been using this solution for 12 months. 

The stability is great. 

The solution is scalable.

The technical support is good. We rely a lot on the documentation which is a good standard. 

I previously used Meraki but I prefer Fortinet for its value and software capabilities. It's better than any of the other products in this field. 

The initial setup is very easy. Deployment time depends on the complexity of the situation. 

We pay an annual license fee - I get a good price on this product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Foremost, we mainly used it as a firewall. we also use it for low sharing between circuits.

It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it.

We used Fortinet FortiGate for one year.

Fortinet FortiGate is both scalable and stable.

We used a different party for support — they were pretty good.

Deployment was very easy.

I think the price of Fortinet FortiGate is very reasonable.

We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate a rating of seven. 

We use it to create a WAN. We also use it for the UTM firewall.

We don't have the latest versions. We've got the 60Ds and 30E products.

Its stability is the most valuable.

It should provide better visibility over the network and more information in the form of reports for the end users. Its installation should also be easier.

I have been using this solution for about three years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We use it at five sites, and all in all, we have around 300 users.

We don't deal with Fortinet.

It was complex for me, but it was quick.

We had to use an outside resource to set it up.

We are going to move over to Meraki, so we won't be using this solution. I would recommend this solution to others, but it is a matter of preference.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

Our organization has 45 branches. We use the Fortigate 200 models at our data centers and have centralized connectivity between our different branches and our data centers.

The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex.

The product is user-friendly and easy to manage.

Fortigate overall has a very high security rating in Gartner. We feel safe under their security features. It has extended options as well, if you would like even more security for your organization.

The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity. While in general, it's pretty good, this is always a concern as the landscape shifts constantly. They need to ensure they stay on top of things so that their security and integrations stay constantly up to date in order to protect our company. 

We've been using the solution for seven to eight years. It's been quite a while. We have lots of experience with it.

The solution is quite stable. We don't have issues with the product freezing or crashing. We don't deal with glitches or bugs or anything of that nature. 

The solution can scale if you need it to. That's not a problem at all.

We do plan on continuing to use the service going forward.

The solution overall is very easy to understand. Therefore, the initial setup is not complex. It's straightforward. Even the configurations are good. An organization shouldn't have too much trouble with it.

How long it takes to deploy depends on  what you want to configure on a firewall. It depends on the policies being implemented. That definitely takes time depending on the company and what is being done. If you are familiar with all features and all the steps regarding how to create a policy and how to implement a policy, it is pretty easy and won't take too long. 

I've handled the initial implementation myself many times. I don't necessarily need any outside assistance.

Overall, I would recommend this solution. I'd rate it ten out of ten. We've enjoyed using the product and we appreciate its security features.

We use this solution for marketing and manipulation purposes.

Within our organization, there are roughly 500 people using this solution.

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.

I deploy SD-WAN and we use it for a next-gen firewall.

The SD-WAN function is very developed. It has SD-WAN functionality with security features in one device. We can manage from one single console SD-WAN and the security policy. You don't need to buy two separate devices for two functionalities. 

You don't need to spend your time on both devices for an SD-WAN and a security firewall device. You only need to manage in one console

The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function.

I have been using FortiGate for five years. 

Their support is good. They are experts. 

I think the pricing is fair. 

I would rate FortiGate an eight out of ten. They should improve the SD-WAN and central data management center.

We use it as an end-server and to block traffic.

It's user-friendly and easy to operate.

The command line is complicated, and the interface could be better.

I have been working with this solution for three years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable project. We plan to keep using it.

This solution is scalable.

We have 300 users in our organization.

Technical support is a local vendor. We are satisfied with the support that we have received.

Previously, we used a MikroTik firewall.

The initial setup is not complex, it's easy. It took 30 minutes to deploy.

It only requires one person to deploy and maintain.

We have a vendor to support us.

There is really nothing to complain about with this product. It's a very good product to use, and it has just started to get the top ratings for firewalls.

This is a good product and I would recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
