Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found centralized administration, cloud UI, and visibility and security on all networks valuable features.""We use the solution for routing and cloud security. We have multiple offices nationwide, all connected through the MPRS network, which is terminated at our FortiGate firewall. We consolidate our networks, filter packets, and segment our network through this firewall. My company has around three lakh firewalls.""The solution offers good network performance and efficiency.""The Fortianalyzer is the most valuable aspect of this solution""The intel we get from Fortinet is its most valuable aspect.""The functionality of the solution is excellent.""The security features, for example, URL filtering, AMP, and advanced threat protection, are very valuable.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months."

"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors.""A good enterprise-level solution.""It is stable for fault and availability.""Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""The platform has good stability."

Cons
"The platform's reporting and analysis capabilities need improvement.""They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface.""Reporting is an area that can be enhanced.""We've not seen any areas for improvement.""The robustness of the software could be improved.""Lacks some security against external attacks.""It is currently durable, but they may be able to improve it further. They can adapt Cisco technology because of its durability.""Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."

"They should add AI options in the product's next release.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""Only to improve the GUI.""Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports.""The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
