Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.)."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is that this product represents a whole solution, including a WAF, and even anti-defacements."
"The support services, performance, and pricing are all valuable features. The performance is excellent."
"L-7 protection makes possible to protect legacy/not up-to-date servers/applications without changing the application code."
"The product has a very user-friendly dashboard."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's automatic bot mechanism. It also gives us the control to create our own custom bot rules."
"The stability of the product is good since I haven't had any problems with the solution."
"The false positives are annoying."
"It may be better if it were easier to create roles."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It costs too much."
"FortiWeb needs to have support for the newest technology being used in web applications."
"When we look at the incident reports in the dashboard, they are available for a maximum duration of 24 hours. They should provide more time for the analysis and increase the duration of the availability of these reports. Currently, it gives the options for 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours. It would be excellent if there are more options for a longer time period. It may be configurable, but I don't know how to do it."
"The dashboard evaluating the performance of each application connected to the web app's firewall is quite helpful, but the tool is only available in application performance management. So I think if Fortinet could better integrate that particular feature, it would add a lot of value to the product."
"The product's scalability could be better."
"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems."
"The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
