Fortinet FortiGate SWG Reviews

We use Fortinet FortiGate SWG as a security package tool for many of its features, such as analyzing and VPN services.

This solution has helped us have control over our network. We are able to put in place traffic restrictions and have a visualization of what is happening in the network.

The overall features of Fortinet FortiGate SWG are good.

The solution could improve by having some additional features, such as IBS and better cloud administration. Additionally, the web and DMC features are not very good. 

I have been using this solution for a few years.

I have found the new releases tend to have bugs making them not stable. The solution should be less memory and CPU-reliant.

The scalability is good.

We have been satisfied with the technical support.

We have run into some problems with the configuration that could be made simpler. Additionally, when migrating there can be some difficulties.

The price is relatively expensive compared to other solutions which are providing similar features.

We have evaluated other solutions.

I have recommended this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate SWG seven out of ten.

We are integrators and I'm a senior consultant. 

The best part of this product is that you have the same functionalities throughout the range of products, whether you deploy a small firewall or a big one, it's the same and you have the same functionality almost, so that's one of the benefits. You can also configure all your firewalls, and set them up in one box and use every interface for LAN1 or any kind of usage.

From my point of view, I think Fortinet has to extend the solution into the cloud and provide all the security features from the cloud and not be dependent on the firewall appliances. It would be much easier for them and for the customers. I'd like to see all the security features on the cloud in the next release. 

I've been using this solution for a few years. 

This is a stable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We consider the solution to be useful. It is utilized solely for IPS web application. This we filter, as the basic features related to next-generation firewall are being employed, including IPS, application ID and filter, web application and annex. 

The performance is very good and the solution is simple to manage.

The solution has many heightened points which we cannot get to without working on CLI. There are many features but these are hidden. 

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate SWG for nearly one year.

The solution is scalable. 

The solution is stable.

The technical support is acceptable.

It took ten minutes. 

There is a need to pay for a license for the product. 

The solution is cloud-based.
