Fortinet FortiGate IPS Reviews

We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS as a firewall. 

I like its ability to prevent external intrusion into our database. It's so fun.

It would be better if they had a dashboard where we could see what attacks were happening. It would be good to see who's trying to get into our network.

I have been dealing with Fortinet FortiGate IPS for about three months. 

Fortinet FortiGate IPS has been stable so far. 

It's a scalable solution so far, but we're not a very big organization. We have about ten nodes at the moment.

The initial setup was okay, but I didn't do it.

The implementation was done by some pretty good people.

The price is okay, so far so good.

We evaluated different solutions and chose Fortinet FortiGate IPS because we found it to be the best.

I would tell potential users to buy it. I recommend this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight.

We use it, for example, to protect our business application servers so nobody can hack those servers internally and illegally access the information they have.

The administration of the solution is the most valuable aspect. It's easy to manage. 

Fortinet has a very well distributed team around our region, and the product is pretty stable.

The integration is good.

We like the dashboards.

The pricing is not overly expensive. 

I have found the initial setup to be very easy.

I can't speak to coming across any missing features. 

The solution has limited scalability. The sizing is based don't eh scale of the hardware. 

I've been dealing with the solution for about five years or so. It's been a while at this point.

The stability so far has been great. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is limited. You have to change the hardware in order to ensure the solution can scale.

Regionally, we are well covered. Technical support is good in this area. 

The implementation process is quite straightforward. It's not a complex implementation at all. A company shouldn't have any issues with it.

You only need one person to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. This is typically a technician. You do not need a huge team to manage it. 

If you use this solution, within three years, you will get your investment back. It provides a good ROI. 

We find the solution to be very reasonably priced overall.

I'm a partner. 

I'm pretty sure we have the most updated deployment, however, I'm not sure of the exact version number.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. My experience has been positive in general. 

We manage all the IT for airports and airlines. We have some data centers for providing different services, such as tickets, to customers. We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS to secure the environment.

It is a good product. It does what we want it to do so. I didn't find many false-positives or things like that. We mainly use the IPS and URL filtering features, and they are pretty good.

They can probably improve the reporting feature. Reporting and report alerting are the main key features of this solution. They can always find ways to improve these.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate IPS for four years.

It is doing good in terms of stability. It is a good product and a good feature within the firewall. 

We haven't tried to scale it. 

I have contacted them. Their technical support is good. They are pretty responsive and knowledgeable.

The initial setup was straightforward. Basically, it is quite easy to set up. You just need to follow the guidelines because they are well-made for Fortinet FortiGate IPS. 

We are currently evaluating a Palo Alto solution, and the pricing could be a reason for going for Palo Alto. 

I'm a part of the team that is testing the Palo Alto solution. We are only responsible for testing to ensure that it matches what we want, but we are not responsible for making the actual decision. Another team will decide which solution to go for based on the contract in terms of money and other things. Technically, either FortiGate or Palo Alto will be able to provide what we want.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten. It is a good product. 

We use this product to provide network security functions to our customers.

This solution has a unique range of features that are not available with any other product.

We also appreciate that this solution is easy to maintain and manage.

We would like to see an improvement in the consistency of the product's performance levels.

We have been using this solution for around five years.

The stability of this solution has been good, in our experience.

We have found this solution to be easily scalable.

The technical support for this product is very good; they always respond to us quickly when we raise issues.

Positive

We switched to this solution because it offered the best range of features in its category.

The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward, and deployment only takes between 30 minutes to an hour.

I would rate this product a 10 out of 10, and I would recommend it to any business that is in the market for a security solution.

I like the solution's stability. 

The IPS monitoring can be improved. 

The price could be better. 

The installation was comparatively on the complex side when the solution's ease of use is stacked up against such products as Palo Alto. 

I use Fortinet FortiGate IPS on a daily basis. 

The solution has good stability. 

I like the solution's technical support. 

The installation was comparatively complex. 

The solution could be better priced. 

There are around 500 users making use of the solution in our organization.

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS as an eight out of ten. 

We use this for bandwidth management and user security when accessing specific internet service devices.

Before using this solution, we had many problems accessing our resources because we don't have a lot of internet bandwidth. And by using application control and traffic shaping, we were able to manage users to quickly access services that are important. This tool has aided in the simplicity of our day-to-day management.

I value it's IPS and application control solution.

I would like to be able to see more log details.

I have been using this solution as an integrator for the past five years.

The solution is pretty much stable.

The solution is scalable and we are planning to increase usage in the future.

Customer service and support is great.

We used Sophos in the past. We switched after seeing a presentation on Fortinet FortiGate IPS where we concluded it would be easier to use and more secure for our company.

I think that setup was easy or medium depending on number of resources. Deployment took about a week. We wanted to have control over all of our users so it took some time to create each user on the device one by one and allocate a security profile to specific group of users.

We have this for about one hundred users which include the administrators, IT security and network manager.

Implementation was done via in-house team.

There are currently five team members maintaining the tool.

We do not have physical data for this, but we know that this product has allowed us to have less people working on the security side which provides the company with more human capital to work on other projects. 

It's a year based license.

We evaluated Cisco Meraki. The main difference was between the configuration and the security option that they give to us. With FortiGate we have so many security features that we never have to make any sophisticated configurations making it easy to manage.

Potential customers should first approach Fortinet pre-sales. Our pre-sales agent was able to give us good advice. His technical and buying advice made implementation of the solution easy. 

There are also many resources available on the web that make implementation easy.

I would rate this an eight out of ten.

FortiGate IPS is really easy to use. I don't have any problems with this.

I've been working with FortiGate for close to three years.

FortiGate is stable.

FortiGate IPS is scalable. We've deployed it across about 150 servers.  

Fortinet has local support in our country, and it's really good. 

Deploying FortiGate is hard.

I rate FortiGate IPS 10 out of 10. I work with many companies, and I recommend it all the time. We build a solution based on what the company wants, and we often recommend it.

We use it for our end customers. I am a network engineer for a company that looks after airlines.

Its interface is the most valuable. It is quite easy to manage.

Its performance can be better. We have had performance issues in the past, but we sometimes tend to find that it is more related to what we do in our network than anything else. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It seems to be very stable.

It is scalable.

We don't really use them. There is plenty of stuff online, and it is more of a learn as you go.

It is quite straightforward, but it can be complex if you are on the cloud. A lot of our customers are cloud-based, and it is a little bit tricky trying to set them up.

It is not expensive as compared to Cisco.

The customer decided what they were going to use. We didn't have a say in it.

I would advise others to go for the training courses. One good thing about FortiGate is that you have got free training.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.
