Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The license management is very valuable. You can get a new license each year, or you can enroll every two to four years. You can get the logs, and you will get the information on the risk in your network and the entire organization. With this information, you can take action on your actives, computers, or devices. You can bring your own device as an SSE.""The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota.""We've found the solution to be pretty stable.""We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us.""LinkGreat firewall capabilities""It is user friendly, and has all the features you need.""The stability of the solution is excellent, as it is with other Fortinet products.""The solution is very easy to understand. It's not overly complex."

More Fortinet FortiGate Pros →

"The solution is very easy to download and configure. The initial setup was very easy. The technical support is very good."

More Hillstone CloudEdge Pros →

"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic.""The solution has good features.""It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance""The command feature is valuable.""We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system.""The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality.""The initial setup is pretty simple.""The technical support has been good."

Cons
"The UI could be improved.""I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run.""I haven't had a single issue since using Fortinet.""It would be nice if backups could more easily migrate between different models.""With the reports, you can see it, and you can get good feelings so upper management can go, "Oh, wow. That looks pretty." However, it's very basic.""I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself.""With FortiGate, the main complaint that I have heard is about the technical support.""It should have a better pricing plan. It is too expensive. It should also have a more granular view of the attack. I don't have FortiAnalyzer, and it is difficult for me to have a complete view when there is an attack on my server."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."

More Hillstone CloudEdge Cons →

"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies.""It is pretty complex to manage and could be easier.""The GUI interface needs improvement.""The solution could improve its technical support.""Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area.""They really need to improve the GUI.""The GUI really needs a lot of work, and it has got worse with successive version updates.""The security feature must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
  • "These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
  • "Work through partners for the best pricing."
  • "The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
  • "Easy to understand licensing requirements."
  • "​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"
  • "The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."
