It comes with several preconfigured rule sets and templates that make deploying new applications easier
One area that needs improvement is using IP addresses within templates. If you allow an IP address to access an application, you should be able to leave a description of that. For example, we allow clients to access these services, and some are restricted to the IP address. When you add an IP, there's no way within the product to say what the IP address is. We need to maintain a separate external list because we need to remove any IP address associated with a client if they stop using our services. In many other products, you can create an object specifying that this IP address is for a client of this name or this service. You don't have this ability within FortiWeb. Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive suite and it is an expensive solution, but it is a manageable one for an enterprise."
"The cost isn't expensive."
"Cheaper than others."
"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."
"The price of Fortinet FortiWeb is reasonable. This is one of the key factors of why we use this solution."
"​It really pays off to buy licences for multiple years​."
"The pricing is pretty good. We do pass a lot of traffic through our API servers. Something like 100 gigs of web traffic is a fair amount for reduced JSON API calls, but the cost is $50. For that peace of mind, we have thousands and thousands of customers that are protected by that $50, so it's a no-brainer."
"FortiWeb can be purchased in VM mode for a lower price and the same features."
