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.

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.

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 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.

I use Fortinet FortiGate to secure the network.

The features I found most valuable in Fortinet FortiGate include their SD-WAN features and their VPN. They are good and very useful. My remote user and I are using them all the time. The URL filter is also good.

I started using Fortinet FortiGate five years ago.

I'm satisfied about the stability of this solution.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good.

The initial setup of this solution wasn't complex at all.

This solution was implemented in-house. I was the one who implemented it.

Licensing for Fortinet FortiGate is on a yearly basis. Pricing for it is a bit high. It could be cheaper.

Deployment of Fortinet FortiGate took one to two days, because I needed time to put my existing environment and what we have, and what we intended to do with our network, to convert it into the Fortinet FortiGate system.

We were on another platform which was a concurrent platform and it wasn't a good one, and it was our first time to go on Fortinet FortiGate, so we had an issue and it took me a few days to deploy.

Maintenance of this solution requires two people. The number of users of Fortinet FortiGate in our organization depends on whether it's direct or indirect. If indirect, it will be all the users we have in the organization, but if it's direct, it could be just the administrator. If indirectly, it'll be a hundred users on our actual site, and 2000 to 3000 users on the other site, all done remotely.

I didn't have to contact Fortinet's technical support, so I can't evaluate their level of responsiveness. I was able to make all the configurations I wanted, without needing to contact support. This solution is good for me.

I'm rating Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

I'm recommending this solution to be deployed for a new user. I'm really happy with it.

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.

Depending on the final cost and any additional costs we deploy Fortinet FortiGate in the cloud or we can deploy on-premises in data centers.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security.

Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having more storage in the hardware for log data.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for approximately three years.

Here in Brazil, we're going through difficult economic times and the tax on the dollar is high. All the solutions from minor competitors are growing in the market. The prices have come more competitive.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a nine out of ten.
