"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us."
"Fortinet FortiGate has many valuable features, such as IDS, and intrusion detection. It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market."
"The dashboard I have found the most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"It has been stable so far."
"The only firewall able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. Can detect unauthorized devices plugged into the network, which standard firewalls can't do."
"We installed Hillstone T-Series after a ransomware attack. The dashboard and user interface are very good."
"They have a command center that makes it easy to log into and see all of your appliances nationwide."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"The features I have found the most useful are the web filter, the captive portal, the SSL inspector, and the ad-blocker. They're awesome."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"I would like Fortinet to add more automation to FortiGate."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"The solution could have licensing fees reduced in the future."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"Scalability is one of the disadvantages. When it comes to scalability, you have to actually change the box. If you want to upgrade it, you need to actually change the existing box and probably you take the system off to other sites."
"My only complaint about FortiGate is a lack of QinQ VLAN tunneling. I haven't found this feature in any Fortinet product. You can do this on all Cisco routers, including the smaller models. However, QinQ isn't available on the biggest, most expensive Fortinet units. They still don't have that. I think now we're on software version 6.0, and they still haven't found a solution for QinQ. It isn't a dealbreaker, but that's my main complaint."
"They have a very good technical support team, but I think there are some communication issues due to language differences."
"Licensing is not cheap."
"Another loophole with Hillstone T-Series is that when we connect through WiFi and turn our hot spot on, all who connect through the hotspot get all the functions, and the security does not work."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"We have a minor issue when assigning IP addresses in the ARP tables. You should be able to go into the ARP tables, look at the IP address and say, "Nope, they need to be on this side on this IP address." The ability to set a DHP reservation from the ARP tables would be great. It's no big deal, but it would be nice to have."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
