Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."Fortinet FortiGate is user-friendly and affordable."
"Good load balancing feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. We have around 1,500 firewalls. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware. FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices. It is user friendly and has a good UI. You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. You don't need to worry much about DCLA, commands, and things like that."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The IPS is good. It protect my network from attackers."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"It works well with a highly-active cluster."
"We did not have issues with scalabiliy."
"The central management for the FortiGate Fortinet Firewall needs improvement. They have the manager to do the essential management for both SD-WAN and for the security policy. They should also improve the SD-WAN function."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"Fortinet currently has many products bundled with FortiGate including the basic firewall and load balancer, and I think that that they need to have separate product portfolios for each of these specialized services."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure."
"Application management can be improved."
"You do need some IT knowledge in order to effectively work with the solution."
"There are problems with the custom reporting of the unique traffic. The data is there, but it is too difficult for us to extract."
"The UTM filtering needs improvement."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"After some experience with the solution, we had to do some redesign, but generally, we were happy with the product."
