Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

Our primary use case is for a data center firewall. I've been using Fortigate but I'm also currently evaluating Cisco and Check Point. We are customers of Fortinet and I'm in IT infrastructure. 

I like the payment function for applications.

It's difficult to add or define, and it's not that easy to configure and manage. We're looking for something more flexible for the long term. I also find that the performance is limited in comparison to other solutions. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The product is stable. 

The solution is scalable but when you do scale, it limits the performance. We have over 1,000 users in our company and four people who deal with the maintenance of all our solutions. 

Technical support is acceptable, and they're good in terms of local support and global support. If they cannot resolve the issue they will pass us to another level of support. 

I previously had experience with CheckPoint, Cisco, and Palo Alto. I would rate Palo Alto as the best firewall in the world. 

The initial setup is relatively straightforward. 

This product could be a little cheaper although compared to other similar solutions, it's more reasonably priced. 

Fortinet FortiGate is being used in our company.

The interface is very good.

There are limited features.

Scalability could be improved.

The issues with the IOS are that they occasionally hang. They are not as reliable as they once were. 

When there is an issue with IOS, new updates are introduced, but the updates also have a lot of issues.

Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution.

When compared to Cisco ISE, the device administration is not very good.

Fortinet is not very good at firewalls when compared to Cisco. Cisco offers full administration control, TripleA, SQT, they use TACACS security protocols, and they have much more control. Cisco's approach is superior.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate for four or five years.

This year, we're removing the Fortinet and switching to Cisco ISE to cut security.

There are issues with the stability of this solution.

There are limitations to scalability.

When compared with Cisco, the technical support is not very impressive.

The initial setup is very easy. It is not complex.

When compared to Cisco, it is very easy.

Pricing is lower than Cisco.

Fortinet FortiGate is not a bad option.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate a five out of ten.

We're using both firewall and UTM features, as well as the inbound and outbound traffic load-balancing functionality. We are also using the VPN.

I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure.

The interface is user-friendly.

The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response.

We have been using Fortinet FortiGate for almost eight years.

This is a stable and reliable product.

We have had no trouble scaling the solutions.

Technical Team response time is slow comparatively other competition , However once the Engineer is allocated then incidents are managed properly

The initial setup is straightforward and it is very quick to deploy.

We purchased a five-year bundle package, which worked out cheaper than competing solutions.

We evaluated other products including those from Palo Alto and Cisco. However, compare the features and price for all of them, Fortinet was the best choice.

This is a good product and I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiGate as a transparent firewall, it is covering the LAN. Whereas, I have a Cisco firewall, which is covering the internet outside. We have two layers of security. FortiGate focuses on the LAN traffic, which is outgoing from the servers in the LAN.

Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate.

Fortinet FortiGate should provide firewall certifications training for NSE 1, 2, and 3. 

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately four years.

Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be scalable.

We were satisfied with the technical support from Fortinet FortiGate.

The main reason we chose Fortinet FortiGate was that the price was better than the competition.

We evaluated many other firewall vendors, such as Juniper, Sophos, Palo Alto. and SonicWall.

I would recommend to everyone that wants to implement Fortinet FortiGate to always have a support contract.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

I do not give a score of ten to any vendor because there is always room for improvement.

We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features.

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.

I have been using this solution for six years.

It is stable.

I don't have any experience with their technical support. My partner contacts them for me.

Its installation is not easy for me because I handle some other work, but I have two partners. One of them is very skilled at using FortiGate, and it took him a day to deploy it. After that, it took us a week to set all parameters and check all parameters and firewall functions.

It is too expensive for us. My organization is very small, and we have a total of ten users. We have three internal users and seven external users. The FortiGate 100D series is too expensive for renewing the licenses.

I would recommend this solution if you can afford it. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate a nine out of ten.

Fortinet products are used mostly for internet firewalls. Fortinet's has a great reputation, and all our computer operators are very happy with it. When it comes to firewalls, Fortinet packages are very attractive, which also helps.

I like how we can achieve total integration.

The cloud features can be improved. The sandboxing part is only available in limited parts of the cloud. If they could expand that, customers would find it slightly better. The price can always be cheaper as well.

We have been using Fortinet FortiGate for about five or six years.

Fortinet FortiGate is very stable. It's a good product.

Technical support was very good.

You need some training, but it's mostly easy. It's a bit of pain, but it's not that difficult, even if you're untrained.

This solution was deployed by a team of four engineers who work under me.

It's expensive, but compared to the competition it's okay. Fortinet's pricing is more attractive than some of its competitors. There's also an annual support license that you can buy with it.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate a nine.

I am using Fortinet FortiGate for security on all devices, VPN, and IPsec.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the ease of use and the UI. It has always provided me with what I needed. I have no need for additional costs that other solutions have, such as Sophos.

Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens. 

The upgrades should be reviewed more frequently, such as daily, to avoid any corruption or issues that can happen, without losing my VPN client. We should not need to downgrade the solution to fix the problems until the Fortinet FortiGate support solves it.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately nine years.

Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution.

I have found Fortinet FortiGate to be scalable.

Fortinet FortiGate is good for medium to large-sized enterprises.

The support from Fortinet FortiGate is amazing.

The setup of Fortinet FortiGate is straightforward.

I am able to do the implementation myself. There is no need for assistance.

The license of Fortinet FortiGate should be reduced.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a ten out of ten.

I use FortiGate for perimeter security, web filtering, and antivirus purposes.

I use two different models. I use 90D and 200E.

I like several features that this product has, such as antivirus and internet navigation inspection. It is also simple to use.

It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future.

In terms of new features, it is a complete product. I don't expect any new features.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is stable.

Their support is not very good for such an expensive product. I expect better support. You can find a lot of documentation on Fortinet's website, but their technical support is not very good.

It is easy to deploy and use. It didn't take more than a day.

We deployed it ourselves. We have our own team. There are three people in our organization who directly use this product.

It is expensive. You need to pay for the subscription every year, which is very expensive. The subscription includes technical support and hardware exchange in case of failure.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.
