Looking for Best NGFW: Go For FortiGate
What do you like best about the product?
Configuration and deployment of FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall is easy and takes less time to get implemented in the network. The dashboard is user-friendly and straightforward, as the features and functions are clearly visible. Policy configuration is simple; we can roll out the policies by following minimal steps. Integration of Fortigate NGFW with third-party vendors like Active Directory and NAC solutions like Forescout is possible. It can be done via API integration in a few steps by just adding the server credentials and API keys. The integration gives more control over the network as traffic can be tagged and labeled, which helps to allow the desired services on detected endpoints. Configuration of VPN and NAT is easy. NAT requires minimum configuration, which I like the best as it is easy compared to other firewall vendors. Management of FortiGate NGFW is pretty easy when we have several locations and several firewalls deployed on that location, as the control can be achieved via FortiManager, a centralized manager for all Fortfate NGFW.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technical Support from FortiGate Team is not as good compared to other firewall vendors. The TAC team needs to resolve the issue on priority, as the firewall is a significant component in a network for any organization. Their resolution takes time, and in initial meetings, they collect logs and give responses after many days. Apart from this, the OS upgrade and firmware fix need to be mandatory, as users can skip this step when they log in through the console. Upgradation should be required to boost the performance and eliminate any existing bugs from the previous version. The reporting part needs improvement as it does not have many customizable features. Although templates help get the report, it consists of limited options with less visibility of traffic and endpoints. Sometimes issues like memory consumption and high CPU utilization can be seen while upgrading to the new version, which needs to be addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FortiGate NGFW is the best firewall we can ever get. The firewall is equipped with all the security features and services that an organization needs, like URL Filtering, App monitoring, SSL encryption, traffic controlling and monitoring and much more. URL Filtering feature is beneficial for our organization and is different from other vendors, as FortiGate uses SSL proxy for encryption. It allows us to block malicious URLs and websites for the smooth working of endpoints and prevent them from any vicious attack. We also use it for the VPN as we have another firewall in a different location. And configuration for VPN is straightforward on FortiGate, and it helps the remote user access the office's desired services. FortiGate NGFW also helps to prevent the organization from any outside attack. It helps to block the traffic that is generated from outside the network.
