Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail.""The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the ease of integration and configuration.""The most valuable features are support and security.""Some of the threat detection analytics and the filtering capabilities they give us for filtering a certain type of information that we don't want coming into the site are its valuable features. The analytics are pretty good in terms of being able to see what threats have been detected and mitigated, where they're coming from, and things like that.""The most valuable feature is the web application firewall (WAF).""The GUI is user-friendly.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the reports and the AI-based features.""Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.).""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."

Cons
"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources.""A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."

More Comodo cWatch Cons →

"The solution could have more customization.""Centralized configuration using FortiManager – like what exists for NGFW FortiGate appliances - would improve the configuration.""If the price was lower, it would be a bit more attractive, as an option, to the customers.""Fortinet FortiWeb could improve in reference architecture for different deployment scenarios.""Lacks a VM demo to enable testing prior to purchase.""The initial setup in our data center was somewhat complex.""For advanced users, it would be really useful to have access and the ability to manipulate packets. If we can access and manipulate the contents of packets, even encrypted packets... that would be powerful. Since we're looking at packets arriving at our network, we would have the private key to access those packets and their information.""Describing security rules should be improved. It's tricky to define new feature tools when you want to describe an attack pattern and want to block it."
