It is a good solution. I rate it a seven out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was complex. 

I have not seen an ROI yet. We do have plans to increase the usage in near future.

I would suggest not to look for a single solution for all your security requirements and compare the pricing. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

It is a firewall solution, so we utilize it regarding policies and security.

The solution is user-friendly and easy to operate.

The solution should have more security features and come with VPN authentication and multi-virus authentication.

We used the previous model, FortiGate 600D. So, I worked with that. I have been using the solution for three years.  We just procured the new solution, but we need to install it right away.

The solution is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution an eight out of ten because there are some issues with security features and aspects like logs not being up to the mark, as well as some challenges with VPN and multiple functionalities.

It's a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. There are around 600 users in our organization using this solution. We have plans to increase the usage up to 2000 users. 

The customer service and support team is good. Their response time was great.

The initial setup is straightforward. It has been in use for three years. It may take around four days to make it functional.

Typically, it can be up and running in just one day. However, due to a lack of expertise, it took a bit longer.

I got a consultant to help with the deployment process. One person is enough for the solution; it can be an admin. 

I have definitely seen an ROI. 

I don't want to get the full license as the technology is changing day by day. So, I have I prefer to procure a five-year license, and that's it.

We have used Microsoft Office and Cisco Switches. We have been using the FortiGate firewall.

We previously used DrayTek before switching to Fortinet FortiGate which has more features.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We evaluated Palo Alto Networks, but the cost of the solution and support were higher than Fortinet FortiGate.

I give Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

The maintenance requires one person.

Web filtering is the most useful feature.

We can't identify which users are causing challenges when we have issues. For example, we may know we have a challenge with our network, but many want to know where it is and the particular user. That would help us to blacklist the user if needed and manage the user data.

We have been using this solution for about six years.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

It is very scalable, and I rate the scalability an eight out of ten. We have about a hundred users.
