More Airlock Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that this product represents a whole solution, including a WAF, and even anti-defacements.""The solution has a very simple deployment.""When we had Cisco we had around thirty thousand entries on our firewalls. Now we are down to three thousand. Fortinet has a mechanism to detect all of your entries which are not used, and it can clean it up.""What we like about Fortinet FortiWeb is it has all the features. We use all of them, so we have to turn on all the options.""The solution is easy to configure and deploy.""Banks have to be compliant with PCI and other things, and FortiWeb is absolutely amazing in terms of providing these reports. Otherwise, they will have to spend a lot of time on them.""Provides good vulnerability scanning, IPS, and geolocalization.""It's the extra security that is the most valuable feature. You have insight into your traffic. There are some great insights into what utilities hackers are trying to exploit. It blocks a lot of stuff from the internet."

Cons
"The tool must be simplified."

More Airlock Cons →

"It costs too much.""The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better.""I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device.""Lacks a VM demo to enable testing prior to purchase.""The support side of things can be improved.""No solution is 100% secure and the security could always be worked on.""The product’s stability could be improved.""The solution is rather complicated. If you know what to do, it's not bad, but it's complicated for a first time user to configure the solution. What I'd like to improve are the custom signatures."
