Fortinet FortiPortal Room for Improvement

Longer log retention would be beneficial, but I understand that it involves storage concerns, and free storage for substantial amounts of logs is not feasible. View full review »

The only complaint about Fortinet FortiPortal is the need for frequent firmware upgrades, as it requires constant updating due to potential security vulnerabilities. With a proper license, the ability to manage the platform fully would also improve its utility. View full review »

There could be more integration into the wider Fortinet Fabric. For instance, FortiEMS and its support for SD-WAN don't work very well.

So, in future releases, integration with the wider Fortinet security fabric would be great. It's about broadening the integration with other Fortinet products. FortiPortal only presents what you can do within a FortiGate. So it misses out everything else. So all the other Fortinet products aren't integrated into FortiPortal. So the scope is quite narrowed. So the main thing I'd like it to do is be able to broaden the scope to other Fortinet products.

There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures. The solution's aforementioned aspect can be considered for improvement.

The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity. A central logging platform must be integrated with the tool. Instead of being a standalone product, it must be merged with the platform to make a complete solution for network security.

I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs.

A lot of things could be improved. 

For example, right now, it's going through an iteration of change. The most recent version, which needed a whole new rebuild, is much more improved. Version seven and above is much more improved and much more stable from our testing. However, they could continue to refine it. 

If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.

We are in the education space. We use more specific education-based reporting. It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better.

If we had more throughput requirements, a bigger model would be useful.

The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires.

I would like to see the capability of remote access included in the next release of this solution.

Fingerprint access security would improve this solution.
