I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

I am using Fortinet FortiGate as a firewall.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are remote access, web filtering, and IPS.

Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more capabilities for troubleshooting VPN connections. For example, I do get some feedback about the current status, but I could use some history and logging of important events. The information is logged in our Syslog server, but I could use that information from the device. If they could provide a GUI to have some more insight on what's going with my VPN would be useful.

The way Fortinet FortiGate handles the phase two connection of a VPN setup could be better. For example, if I have to make a phase two traffic selector input, I cannot add more ports. For example, on a specific IP address pair, if I have an IP address pair source and destination, then I can only add one port. I'm not sure if I can do that through the command line, but on the GUI, I cannot, and this is a problem. I have to select another IP address pair to allow another port and this means new traffic selectors and a new set of tunnels. This causes more tunnels to need troubleshooting. 

I would like to be able to pass more diverse information through the same tunnel, and it doesn't seem to be possible if you want to limit the traffic through the tunnel and not allow all protocols between the same IP address pair. If we want to limit the ports, then I find there is a problem.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately a year and a half.

We have a contract with a Fortinet partner, and they're very good at providing support. We don't have the communication directly with Fortinet.

I have previously used a Cisco firewall, the 5520 model. It was not a next-generation firewall and did not have IPS integrated, and it was quite difficult to manage and to find features and implement them. Fortinet FortiGate is very good at this.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiGate is straightforward.

I do not have first-hand experience with the rice of Fortinet FortiGate, but I have heard the price was reasonable.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

We are a system integrator and Fortinet FortiGate is one of the products that we have implemented for our clients.

It is primarily used for VPN and remote access. More recently, we have been using it for SD-WAN.

This is a versatile solution and with it, we can offer our customers multiple functionalities. The Fortinet fabric goes across the entire enterprise.

The most valuable features are the security and the integration with the entire Fortinet product line, from access points to switching.

FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system.

I would like to see integration into other systems. That would be really great for me. The fabric works well only if you're using other Fortinet devices, but they're not exactly the best in terms of switching or access points. If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate for the past few years.

This is a very stable product.

Fortinet FortiGate is very scalable.

We have implemented it for 13 or 14 customers.

I am familiar with technical support and they're very responsible. I haven't had any issues with them so far.

The initial setup is straightforward. The length of time required for deployment depends on the customer's environment and use cases.

We handle the deployment and maintenance of this product for our customers. We use the Fortinet tools, such as FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer to maintain it.

Licensing is usually on a three-year period.

Overall, this is a very good solution and in fact, a good starting point for a broader cyber security approach for the business.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We have several sites spread geographically across Latin America and Asia that use FortiGate. Some of them are unable to support cloud services so we have deployed it on-premise in order to provide ourselves with a fast and secure network.

I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment.

The solution's framework needs to be frequently updated in order to have a stable solution.

We have been using this solution for a little over one year.

This is a stable solution is you are able to effectively maintain the framework.

This is a scalable solution. We have about six thousand users and have plans to increase.

My company used Blue Coat and Zscaler in the past but I am unsure why they switched.

The initial setup was not 100% straightforward, but it was also not too complicated. You have the choice to use templates or design your own so deployment length will be dependent on that.

This is a great solution for companies spread across Latin America and Asia.

I would rate this a seven out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiGate as a network firewall.

The reporting in Fortinet FortiGate could improve. Customers are having to purchase additional reporting components. in  Fortinet FortiGate you have to use additional tools to have the features needed.

We need to use FortiAuthenticator to have additional bandwidth. Fortinet should include more features in the solution instead of having separate tools.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately three years.

Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution from my experience.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good.

The technical support from Fortinet FortiGate is 24 hours a day seven days a week, and 365 days a year. The support is good from Fortinet, and local distributor partner support has been helpful, we highly recommend them.

I have previously used pfSense, Sophos Firewall, and other endpoint solutions.

The initial implementation of Fortinet FortiGate is not complex because the GUI environment is easy to use. We can do a lot of things in the GUI. If the configurations engineer, network administrator, or network engineer has knowledge about firewalls, the process will not be complex. It can easily be managed.

The price of Fortinet FortiGate when compared to other solutions is high. However, my knowledge of the price is from third parties and I am not sure how accurate it is. I typically work in the technical area of my organization.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a nine out of ten.
