Reviews from Real Users
Peter VanDorp, Cyber Security Analyst and Network Operations Supervisor at a non-tech company, says that "Deep packet inspection is easier to deploy in the FortiSASE environment. It's much simpler to configure one-touch deployment. It was considerably more convoluted to get that to work using FortiClient. All that processing horsepower is happening in Fortinet's cloud infrastructure, reducing the load on our local routers and on-prem FortiGate firewalls."
Jose-Rivera, Account Manager at Telefónica, that FortiSASE is "Reliable with good security and helps with network optimization".

|---|---|---|
| Head Vice President, Delivery at Gehnax Technologies LLP | 2.5 | I use FortiSASE for secure network connections and web filtering, benefiting from its SD-WAN feature. Integration with Fortinet simplifies management, but deployment is complex and licensing issues need improvement. Despite these challenges, the bundled features offer good value. |
| Senior Manager at CTC Global Sdn Bhd | 3.5 | I've used FortiSASE mainly for cloud security and VPN replacement; it's strong in features like web control and Zero Trust, but lacks third-party integration. It's competitively priced, reliable within Fortinet's ecosystem, and well-suited for cloud deployments. |
| Product & Services Integrator at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 2.5 | As a reseller, I find Fortinet's firewalls competitive but see room for improvement in their SASE solution, which requires integration with various platforms. Simplification, enhanced cloud management, and automation would make Fortinet's offering more appealing compared to competitors like Cato. |
| Senior Manager at ITX360 (Pvt) Ltd | 4.0 | We use FortiCASB for a client with an ERP system and multiple branches, benefiting from its competitive pricing and ease of integration with Forti-products. Web filtering enhances security, although improvements are needed, saving us 50% on our security budget. |
| Co-Founder & General Manager at Beta Integrated Solutions | 4.0 | I've found FortiSASE to offer excellent value for money with good scalability and centralized management, though its secure browser could improve. Setup was easy, support is decent, and it's a great fit for existing Fortinet users. |
| IT Network, Security Engineer at Zuken Netwave | 4.0 | I find FortiSASE valuable due to its authorization and access control capabilities, especially in cloud environments. It's easy to configure and use, but connectivity issues remain, particularly from inside to outside. The solution is gaining traction in Japan. |
| Principal at Senior Solutions Engineer | 4.0 | I use FortiSASE for remote access to our corporate data centers. It's easy to deploy and manage, suits a dispersed workforce, but needs improved back-end connectivity. Switching from Zscaler, I achieved cost-efficiency and unified security from on-prem to cloud. |
| Solution Manager at DYXnet Group | 4.0 | FortiSASE offers superior security search capabilities, outperforming competitors. However, it suffers from heavy loading and unsuitable pricing for complex traffic. Although new, it has potential with its cloud-based digital experience management and extensive integration capabilities, enhancing its competitive edge. |
