Need to Improvement in Reporting

We have been using it for the last nine years.

Stability is fine. I rebooted after 755 Days from the date of installation.

Scalability is Fine.

Customer Service:

Partner support is very good.

Technical Support:

FortiGuard Service is also good with the push method update.

We were previously using SOPHOS.

Easy by WebGUI and also mobile app.

We have implemented in-house.

Excellent ROI, due to virus spambot intrusion free network.

It's a little bit higher than Cyberoam but the security is More higher compared to the other vendor.

Sophos, Check Point, and SonicWall.

Buy FortiGate for a hassle free network management and excellent ROI.

It is a safe product.

The solution could be more user friendly.

I have been using the solution for approximately 6 years.

It is a stable solution.

We have over 5000 users using the solution at my company.

All the firewalls, more or less are similar, it is very easy to install this type of equipment on the premise of the customer. 

I configured the solution for my clients. We have a minimal of three technical employees doing the maintenance of the solution.

I think Check Point or Cisco are more user-friendly solutions.

We do not have plans to expand usage of the product at this time.

I rate Fortinet FortiGate a seven out of ten.

We use Fortinet FortiGate mainly for firewall and VPN purposes. 

The virtual domains feature and the ease of use.

The Fortinet support needs improvement and also the quality control of the firmware (there are a lot of bugs)

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for about 10 years.

Fortinet FortiGate offer a good value for money solution

Fortinet FortiGate is scalable. We don't have any constraints that create a problem for us except the support.

The major problem with Fortinet is the support. We have often hardware malfunctions and software bugs and the support is slow.

We also use another firewall vendor product

The initial setup was easy.

The implementation was through a international integrator team

Fair

The price is fair compared to the other competitors.

No

They have many features

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

I use Fortinet FortiGate mostly for security purposes.

Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use. 

The sniffing packets or packet captures can be simplified and improved because it's a little confusing. The automation feature has some limitations and could be better. 

I've been using Fortinet FortiGate for over four years. 

Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution.

Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution.

The technical support was quite good.

I think it's very easy to implement this solution because one person can do it. There aren't too many fancy things to do. I think you can implement FortiGate in less than an hour. We implement it by ourselves. Three administrators can do it because our clients aren't big enterprises, just SMEs. 

Setup costs and pricing depends on many variables, but it's mostly affordable.

I would recommend Fortinet FortiGate to potential users.

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

We are a solution provider and FortiGate is one of the security products that we implement for our customers.

This is an easy solution to deploy.

Technical support needs to be improved.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for almost two years.

Stability-wise, FortiGate is good. We plan to continue working with it in the future.

FortiGate is a scalable product and our customer has approximately 2,000 users.

The customer support is expensive.

We have had difficulties with technical support from Fortinet.

I also have experience with Cisco, and FortiGate is the cheaper solution.

The installation is straightforward and it took about two months for us to deploy for our last customer.

Some customers have this deployed on-premises, whereas others have a cloud-based deployment. The choice depends on the environment.

We have an in-house team to deploy this product for our customers. We also give them technical support. Relationships with our customers are very important.

The price of FortiGate support is too expensive.

We try to help our customers evaluate and choose the best solution for them. Sometimes, they implement Cisco products.

Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using this solution to protect our network on every site. We are using it as a Network Firewall.

The most valuable features are the policies, filtering, and configuration.

Technical support is good but the response time could be faster.

When it's overloaded, it works slower and overheats.

The data analysis could be improved.

I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for 15 years.

We are using the 100 models.

This solution is pretty stable.

It's a scalable solution. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We have 2,500 users in our organization.

Technical support is good. I would rate them an eight out of ten.

We have also used Huawei.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's pretty easy.

At the very most, it takes a day to deploy.

Before deciding to install this solution, be sure to conduct an analysis of your environment. You may need a larger one or this may be too big for their needs.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We utilize the services to ensure the stability of our network and clients protection from external treats. With the recent pandemic mobile working have increased in demand and Fortinet have easily bridge that gap to continue to support employee needs.

It has provided us the ability to work remotely during the pandemic. It opens a secure connection to the office for an employee working remotely from home.

The web filtering feature and the intrusion protection system are the most valuable.

It is a resilient appliance.

Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Some out-of-the-box reports needs to be able to provide usable data for example for web monitoring and reporting or browsing patterns and details.  Some customers does not require any forensic type reporting and may not want to invest in all the features offered by the FortiAnalyzer.

I have been using this solution for the past seven years.

It is stable. 

It is scalable. There are no issues. In terms of the number of users who use FortiGate, we have only about ten users for remote working. Only selected users utilize this remote capability.

Technical support is good. If I have an inquiry or request, it is usually addressed within the same business day or within the 24 hours period as per the vendor's support agreement.

I was on a Check Point platform, and then I migrated to FortiGate. Migrating from the Check Point environment to the FortiGate environment was new for me. We rely on a vendor for support. The vendor was kind of phasing out the support of the Check Point product. That's why we switched. 

We are currently on 80D, and it was a direct upgrade. The deployment didn't take that long because it was a direct replacement or upgrade from an older appliance 60D to 80D. It was easy for the vendor to deploy because they saved the policies and other things that were in use for the older appliance and had to be migrated over to the new appliance. It was done within maybe a day or two.

We outsourced it to a local vendor, and it was deployed by the vendor. We do our own internal monitoring, and the vendor does the actual set up. So far, our experience with the vendor has been excellent in terms of response. Their technical staff is also very knowledgeable.

We just pay an affordable flat monthly fee to the vendor for the monitoring and support.

I learned about different options and their benefits and listened to vendors' proposals for migration. We evaluated pfSense, which is open source. We were trying to determine whether to go for open source as opposed to an industry-standard and proprietary product. I also engaged other vendors who offered Sophos technology and SonicWall. I trusted the vendor-supported product and considered the cost associated with the migration. The current vendor could upgrade it with no implementation cost, and we just had to pay a monthly service fee or rental. 

Based on the research, FortiGate seemed like a reasonable firewall, and it is also more or less recognized and trusted all over, so I trusted FortiGate. Overall, I was happy with the performance of the FortiGate, so I kind of stuck with that one.

I would definitely recommend this product, but there are other products in the market, such as Sophos and SonicWall, that are just as effective. 

We will be using this solution for at least the next three years. We renewed the license for three years in August of this year. We are thinking of upgrading to a newer appliance before that.

I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten. I am pleased with this solution and the features it offers right now. It just needs minor adjustments in terms of reporting and staying up to date with industry standards.

We're using both firewall and UTM features, as well as the inbound and outbound traffic load-balancing functionality. We are also using the VPN.

I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure.

The interface is user-friendly.

The support structure needs to be improved because every time we contact them, there is a delay in the response.

We have been using Fortinet FortiGate for almost eight years.

This is a stable and reliable product.

We have had no trouble scaling the solutions.

Technical Team response time is slow comparatively other competition , However once the Engineer is allocated then incidents are managed properly

The initial setup is straightforward and it is very quick to deploy.

We purchased a five-year bundle package, which worked out cheaper than competing solutions.

We evaluated other products including those from Palo Alto and Cisco. However, compare the features and price for all of them, Fortinet was the best choice.

This is a good product and I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
