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.

Very secure with an easy initial setup and pretty stable
We are using the latest version of the solution. We sell this solution for financial systems. We're Oracle partners and service providers. We'll present this solution to our clients and give them a benefit analysis of the product so they can see the reasons why they need the solution or why it might help them. I'd rate this solution nine 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 product is very user-friendly."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"The solution is transparent and smooth."
"The GUI makes it easy to scale in terms of learning and utilization."
"The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"FortiWeb has a very extensive library of known attack signatures, which makes the product fit for any environment, regardless if the customer uses Windows-specific or non-Windows-specific applications."
"The platform's stability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
"The interface could have the interdependent elements arranged sequentially and wizards that go through most common deployment actions."
"The F5 solution has more features than Fortinet FortiWeb, such as multiple load balancing."
"Fine-tuning is a room for improvement in Fortinet FortiWeb."
"The documentation for the machine learning could be better."
"The solution could have more customization."
"The automation piece can be improved. Although they say it can be automated very well, there is still manual work. Its usability should be improved in terms of automation because we want to build an infrastructure with code, but you can't do that easily with this solution. If they can give us APIs in the firewalls that we can tap into, it would be perfect."
"WAF needs more signatures on FortiWeb and updates the database continuously to protect against new attacks."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Fortinet FortiWeb is reasonable. This is one of the key factors of why we use this solution."
"The solution gives us the best price to performance ratio."
"FortiWeb Web Application Firewall's pricing is suited for small or medium organizations."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the product price as three or four."
"Keep a loose margin between your actual bandwidth and the product sizing when using hardware appliances. Only virtual machines are upgradable to larger sizes."
"It is a cheap 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."
