Author infoRatingReview Summary
Technical Support Engineer at Intimesolutions4.0I've used FortiWeb WAF to protect both internal and public websites. It offers useful features like DDoS protection and SQL injection blocking but needs better response times, improved GUI, and enhanced logging capabilities for effective traffic monitoring.
Global Channel Alliances Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0FortiWeb Web Application Firewall effectively protects my infrastructure by restricting unauthorized access to web applications. Fortinet offers valuable enablement, competitive pricing, and a robust channel program, but migration from solutions like F5 can be challenging due to integration requirements.
Chief Executive Officer at EE Solutions GmbH4.5I use FortiWeb Web Application Firewall to enhance the security of our company's web applications. Its most valuable feature is controlling web access. However, the tool's price and performance need improvement. Other solutions were not considered.
Presales Consultant at Invitech Kft.4.0Our company provides data center and cloud services, integrating FortiWeb WAF for its load-balancing capabilities, which are valuable for meeting customer needs. However, the documentation and technical support require improvement to avoid misconfigurations and enhance clarity.
Pre-Sales at PPLUS VISION3.5As a Fortinet partner, we excel with FortiWeb's API protection and bot mitigation. We use monitor mode initially for minimal disruption. While pricing and lack of load balancing need improvement, the machine learning capabilities offer valuable insights against potential threats.
Senior IP Network Defense at MTN4.5I use FortiWeb Web Application Firewall to protect our mobile money application, ensuring secure access and compliance with PCI DSS. It's effective against threats but has issues with webhooks and on-premise management. Previously, Cisco was ineffective for our needs.
Senior Security Consultant at a retailer with 10,001+ employees4.0FortiWeb WAF offers unique features like machine learning to reduce false positives and detects zero-day attacks, including an in-built antivirus. However, it needs easier configurations, better documentation, and more robust DDoS protection compared to alternatives like F5 Advanced WAF.
Director of Professional Services at Besecure4.5I use FortiWeb for web application protection due to its extensive attack signature library and low false-positive rate. Although it could benefit from improved analytics, it saves resources and integrates well with FortiGuard capabilities against threats.
