The stability of Fortinet FortiOS is great.

The product needs a feature that allows users to create another site on a VPN.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. We have a large number of clients using this solution with their users.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. They are very fast.

The initial setup was straightforward in comparison to other firewalls. Our implementation took approximately one hour, but it may differ for others depending on their customer requirements.

FortiOS has a reasonable price compared to other solutions.

I rate FortiOS an eight out of ten because I believe Fortinet can make improvements on policy optimization, reporting and traffic logs to enhance user readability.

We use the solution as a firewall, and in conjunction with Fortinet FortiMail.

The solution is very easy to configure and has a good interface, plus it offers more configuration options than other vendors.

I would like to see fewer bugs. If you use the box with its basic features, the solution is straightforward and stable, but you can run into bugs when using newer features or in more complex use cases. They included a DNS filter as a new feature, and I had issues that required raising a ticket with customer support.

I've been using the solution for between 10 and 12 years.

The solution is very stable. There are occasional bugs, but support is very quick and helpful in resolving these issues.

The initial setup was easy.

A medium 100 or 200 Series box costs around $3000, and the software cost is around 55% of the hardware cost.

Depending on the situation, performance issues may require changing out the box. 

I was working at a bank where internal information security was strict, so I needed to block a lot of websites in Fortinet. For example, we needed to block Gmail, WhatsApp Web, porn, and violent content. 

FortiOS allows us to set up alarms for blocked websites and SSL verifications. When someone tries to access a blocked site, the solution sends a notification to the IT manager's mailbox.

The user interface is easy to use. Fortinet has high availability features, so you can have an active and hot standby box. We can have two boxes in Rio and two in São Paulo. When a box crashes, we can transfer all the operations to the second box. 

FortiOS tells you exactly what is happening in the first box, so you can quickly understand what went wrong and troubleshoot. Users rarely notice an impact on the daily operations. 

FortiOS could provide a more detailed analysis of the network and connected devices.

I used Fortinet for about nine months.

We have a support contract with a third-party company, but Fortinet provides the licenses, so we update the solution ourselves using the license code. 

I rate Fortinet FortiOS nine out of 10.

FortiOS' most valuable features are management, security, and easy updates with no downtime.

FortiOS's bandwidth and interface could be improved. In the next release, Fortinet should include an option to disable users.

I've been working with Fortinet FortiOS for five years.

We've been using FortiOS for five years and have had no problems with stability during that time.

FortiOS is scalable.

Fortinet's technical support is good and provides good solutions for us.

Positive

Previously, I used Cisco ASA Firewall.

The initial setup was very simple and was completed within a week.

The implementation was done by a reseller and a technical team from our side. 

On the technical side, we have received a good ROI from FortiOS as its scalability and management are good.

The licensing for FortiOS is good, with a security license included when we update the main license.

I would rate FortiOS eight out of ten.

This is a user friendly solution and offers comprehensive integrations. 

The reporting for this solution could be improved. It could also be more stable and offer better pricing. 

I have been using this solution for five years. 

The customer support for this solution is good and user-friendly.

Positive

Installation takes two minutes.

If you are able to afford it, I would recommend Fortinet. 

Fortinet's SD-WAN connects the user to the application or app server on-prem or the cloud.

Fortinet has optimized the WAN environment for connecting users to the application.

Fortinet's central management needs to be improved. FortiManager's technical tool provider ability should manage all Fortinet security products. Right now, FortiManager only manages the configuration of FortiGate.

I've been using Fortinet for about five years.

Fortinet's performance is stable.

Fortinet is scalable. We can increase the scalability in the help center. We have 500 to 600 users now, but we plan to grow to 700 or 800 users in the next two years. 

I'm satisfied with Fortinet support.

We switched to Fortinet because it's easy to use and deploy. In recent years, Fortinet has worked to combine the SD-WAN and next-gen firewall into one device, improving the ease of use. 

Setting up Fortinet is straightforward. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to deploy. We have a team of five engineers to deploy, maintain, and manage Fortinet.

We deployed Fortinet ourselves.

I rate FortiOS nine out of 10. 

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiOS are the ease of use and user-friendly interface.

Some features I have found to be hidden and cannot be accessed through the graphical user interface, you can only access them through the command-line interface(CLI). All the features should be accessible through the graphical user interface.

I have been using Fortinet FortiOS for approximately four years.

Fortinet FortiOS is a stable solution and it has high performance.

The scalability depends on the cloud provider of Fortinet FortiOS, such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure. They need to work according to their SLA.

The deployment of Fortinet FortiOS is simple. The speed of the deployment depends on a lot of factors, such as a number of policies, features we need to enable, and security specifications.

I do the deployment of Fortinet FortiOS and since it is on the cloud there is no maintenance. 

The price of Fortinet FortiOS is reasonable and it is paid annually. You are able to select the features that you want.

I rate Fortinet FortiOS a nine out of ten.
