The WAF helps to block external attacks into a website.
I found the most valuable feature is WAF (Web Application Firewall). It helps to block external attacks into a website and provides Advance DDOS protection and free SSL support as part of Cloudbric's free service I've used this service for 3 months. I do not much face any issues with deployment.…

Security threats have been reduced through seamless deployment and strong integration with other tools
I have used Fortinet FortiWeb's integration features. We have easily integrated all of the applications with the product. Most of the applications we are using are in-house built. My technical team is looking after the best features. I have not used it extensively for maybe two and a half years. I have been involved in the installation, but I am not actually using the product. I work with it from time to time but not extensively. I would assess Fortinet FortiWeb's adaptive machine learning and artificial intelligence as having new patches installed regarding artificial intelligence, but when we bought it, I think the learning feature was there. Now they have installed artificial intelligence features through patches. We have a complete portfolio of Fortinet in our organization, including FortiMail, Fortinet FortiWeb, and FortiGate, along with multi-factor authentication. All of the products are from Fortinet. Fortinet tools integrate with each other and work in conjunction. I think Fortinet FortiWeb has helped us meet regulatory compliance because we are not a regulatory organization, but our sister organization is regulatory. We have regulatory compliance with the International Civil Aviation Authority, whose audit teams have checked our data center and these security products, and they are satisfied with us. The question about leveraging Fortinet FortiWeb's automated policy management does not pertain to my domain because I am not so technical, but I am in a management role now. My engineer is more technical than me. I would rate this product an eight point five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This software does this."
"I found the most valuable feature is WAF (Web Application Firewall) as it helps to block external attacks into a website and provides advanced DDoS protection and free SSL support as part of Cloudbric's free service."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well."
"Its stability is fine wherever we have implemented it."
"We find that it is quite stable and reliable."
"It is an easy-to-manage, great product for a small office."
"FortiWeb identified potential DDoS attacks and suspicious domain activity, showcasing the value of its machine-learning capabilities."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"FortiWeb offers machine learning in the latest product; before that, there was an auto-learning feature that fixed many problems, and there are no false negatives now."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"Setup and configuration is straightforward and anyone can setup, but I face complexity in getting a real IP from a Cloudbric proxy IP, but that problem was solved by their technical team."
"FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."
"Centralized management of multiple devices, and GUI improvement, could reduce the learning curve."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."
"There are specific functionalities that I'd like to see improve and that would basically bring it into line with what is being offered by solutions such as F5 and Imperva."
"With the 600-C model, we had some scalability issues."
"When there is downtime at their data center, it becomes a transit point issue for us, causing downtime in our environment as well."
"Sometimes, even if you follow the documentation, it doesn't work as expected."
"I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Fortinet FortiWeb is reasonable. This is one of the key factors of why we use this solution."
"It keeps changing, but it's based on the size of the VM you buy and also the traffic throughput you want from it, whereas what we have on Azure is just the traffic throughput. You can also pay on a monthly basis from Azure. During each part of the project, it's okay to get Azure-based licensing or AWS-based licensing for FortiWeb, but over time, you would want to go with the perpetual license. You should go to Fortinet and buy the license from them. So, there is a two-step process there."
"The cost isn't expensive."
"The pricing is in the middle. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It feels like a justified cost for the features."
"It is a cheap solution."
"Keep a loose margin between your actual bandwidth and the product sizing when using hardware appliances. Only virtual machines are upgradable to larger sizes."
"We are on an annual license for this solution and the price is approximately €100."
"Fortinet FortiWeb's pricing is reasonable. Its licensing costs are yearly."
