Fortinet FortiGate Reviews

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.

We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS as a firewall. 

I like its ability to prevent external intrusion into our database. It's so fun.

It would be better if they had a dashboard where we could see what attacks were happening. It would be good to see who's trying to get into our network.

I have been dealing with Fortinet FortiGate IPS for about three months. 

Fortinet FortiGate IPS has been stable so far. 

It's a scalable solution so far, but we're not a very big organization. We have about ten nodes at the moment.

The initial setup was okay, but I didn't do it.

The implementation was done by some pretty good people.

The price is okay, so far so good.

We evaluated different solutions and chose Fortinet FortiGate IPS because we found it to be the best.

I would tell potential users to buy it. I recommend this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight.

We use it for our end customers. I am a network engineer for a company that looks after airlines.

Its interface is the most valuable. It is quite easy to manage.

Its performance can be better. We have had performance issues in the past, but we sometimes tend to find that it is more related to what we do in our network than anything else. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It seems to be very stable.

It is scalable.

We don't really use them. There is plenty of stuff online, and it is more of a learn as you go.

It is quite straightforward, but it can be complex if you are on the cloud. A lot of our customers are cloud-based, and it is a little bit tricky trying to set them up.

It is not expensive as compared to Cisco.

The customer decided what they were going to use. We didn't have a say in it.

I would advise others to go for the training courses. One good thing about FortiGate is that you have got free training.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate IPS an eight out of ten. It is quite a good product, and there isn't much to improve.

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.

We primarily use this solution as a firewall and an IPS. We are customers of Fortigate and I'm an assistant administrator.

I like the simplicity of the interface, they seem to have a good grasp of that. The solution is also very easy to deploy. 

I think they could improve the monitoring. 

I've been using this solution for almost a year. 

The solution is stable.

Scalability isn't really an issue as it's a network defense system, and it does it inline on the network. No other users interact with it directly.

I think the technical support for this product seems to be better in comparison to other solutions. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. 

The cost of the solution is very good in the context of other, similar solutions on the market. 

For cost effectiveness, they of course have an advantage over the whole firewall DASA series. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

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.

Some of the key features of the solution is that it has good reporting, you can receive many details from the connection, for example, clients and website information. Additionally, you can determine if an action has taken place such as virus scan information.

In the balance between links feature normally you can just choose one option to balance. It would be better for the solution to have more than one option, preferably three.

The stability is amazing.

The scalability is good. We have approximately 50 employees using this product in our company.

The setup is easy.

The solution is easy to implement, it takes approximately one day for deployment.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a ten out of ten.

We are resellers of Fortinet FortiGate.

We use this solution locally and as a VPN.

We have a lot of experience with this solution and haven't had any issues. For repairs, the RMA process is also good.

We don't have any issues with the interface, customization, or integration. This solution works well.

We would like to see better pricing.

This version is stable and I don't have any issues with this solution. In our environment, it works well.

Technical support is good.

The price of the license and warranty can be better because it is very expensive.

The license renewal is very expensive.

There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.
