Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

We use FortiGate for controlling traffic and policies for web caching, user profiles, IPS, antivirus, etc.

FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful.

I would like reporting to be improved and should offer a lot more tools to monitor the products.

My company has been using FortiGate for about four months.

This solution is very stable.

This solution is scalable.

Support is very responsive and their staff is well trained.

The initial setup was so easy! FortiGate has everything facilitated for deployment and we are able to do everything from their web interface.

This solution has a very user-friendly interface.

I would rate this a nine out of ten.

I am a reseller of the FortiGate solution and we use it as a firewall to protect the parameter of the network.

The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature.

I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive.

I have been using FortiGate for three years.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It is easy to use, and there are a lot of security features right out of the box. For those who do not need the enterprise VPN, it is an excellent product.

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.

The network security and cloud security are most valuable.

Its price could be better.

We have been dealing with this solution for hardly two years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have 10 clients who are using this solution.

We have never contacted them.

It is a little complicated. It took four months.

We have a team of about 20 people for deployment and maintenance.

Its price could be better.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

We are a sister company of Fortinet FortiGate. Our organization has more than 3,000 users.

I would like to see improvements with the antivirus and IPS as they are not working properly all the time.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for twelve years.

Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution.

This solution is very scalable.

Prior to choosing Fortinet FortiGate you should make sure you select the right box. Be sure of the capacity and have a capacity plan before installation. I suggest you do a failover and redundant together, compact boxes together.

I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.

I have found the IPS, antivirus, and the feature that allows you to have a firewall in the same appliance most valuable. Additionally, the solution has good throughput and can handle many types of operations, such as VPNs and firewall rules.

There are a lot of bugs I have found in the solution and it is difficult to upgrade. These areas need improvement.

I have been using this solution within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable.

The technical support could be improved. There is a long waiting time for a resolution.

I rate Fortinet Fortigate a seven out of ten.

I am primarily using FortiGate to provide a hardware VPN or an equipment base of VPN to a central office. I am only using a small fraction of its capabilities, so I'm not pushing it at the edges.

Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it.

Once it is in use, it is intuitive to use. Once it's in place, it doesn't require any further interaction.

The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately four months.

The stability has been rock-solid, and I haven't seen any glitches or bugs at all.

With only two people in the company, we haven't needed to scale. Our roles include software development and providing technical support for various clients.

I have not needed to contact technical support.

This is the first firewall product that I have used.

The initial setup is fairly technical and it's not something the untrained person would want to do. You need to know what you're doing in order to set it up.

The price of FortiGate is reasonable. In terms of the market, it's not a cheap product, but it's cost-effective.

I purchased this product because this is the one that the central office supports.

In summary, this is a good product, it works, it doesn't need any attention, and I'm satisfied with it. Although the initial setup is slightly complex, security is a complex question and I'm not sure that it can be simplified.

I would rate this solution a ten 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.
