Fortinet FortiProxy Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Cyber Security Engineer | Network/Security at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.0I've used Fortinet FortiProxy for five years to segment internet access by department. It's easy to configure, runs efficiently alongside firewall policies, but sometimes flags valid URLs as invalid. Overall, it’s reliable and straightforward.
Sr. Network & Security Engineer at Data Consult4.0I use Fortinet FortiProxy to protect enterprise network users, particularly in finance, IT, and sales, from online threats. Its valuable intrusion prevention and antivirus features control internet activity, though it struggles with remote users requiring Active Directory membership and VM bugs.
System Engineer at Infosys4.5I use Fortinet FortiProxy to enable application access through proxies and policies. The solution features a configurable network setup via both GUI and CLI. There's no feedback on areas needing improvement, return on investment, or alternative solutions.
Graduate Teaching Assistant at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I used Fortinet FortiProxy to configure a client's network, valuing its detailed access control and web protection. However, I faced documentation challenges and issues with certain web applications, necessitating external resources for configuration guidance.
Network engineer at DIRECTION GÉNÉRALE DES IMPÔTS - DGI4.0I use Fortinet FortiProxy for our firewall and web security. It's the best tool I've experienced in terms of response time and management. However, the lack of a French interface complicates its use in our French-speaking company.
Network Security Engineer at Pronet4.0I find Fortinet FortiProxy to be a user-friendly web security gateway that seamlessly integrates with various security products to enhance threat intelligence. However, its reporting features require improvement for better performance and effective utilization of security capabilities.
Assocciate Solution Engineer at LogPoint3.0I use FortiProxy primarily for internet security, seamlessly integrating with Fortinet Single Sign-On. Its granular access control is invaluable, though policy management and web categorization need improvement. Despite some issues, it provides excellent value as a secure web gateway.
Security Manager at Alternative Solutions4.0I use Fortinet FortiProxy primarily for traffic inspections, which is its most valuable feature. However, it could benefit from integrating AI/ML technologies and more flexible pricing. I haven't considered alternate solutions or cloud providers.
