Good UTM for a decent price
What do you like best about the product?
Fortigate is a good UTM Firewall, for me this firewall do his job, it protects the perimeter of your network using the NGFW technology, however, the configuration is a little bit cumbersome
With this device you can do content filter blocking the access to web pages using the categories provided by Fortiguard, you can restrict the access to applications that are not allowed in your company, you can publish services so they can be available from Internet, you can also create VPNs IPsec with another device and you can make a VPN SSL to gain secure access to your network from your home.
You can do many other things, you just have to check the “Cookbooks” that Fortinet offers

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this Firewall I was able to solve problems related to the use of bandwidth, the use of unauthorized applications, the use of proxies and so on

- I was able to protect the perimeter of my network.
- I was able to do IPsec VPN with the other branches

FortiGate firewalls are versatile teams that offer you a multitude of options and customizations to protect your network and especially see what is happening in it. Your FortiView function is extremely informative, you have a panel where you can choose different views of how you want to see the traffic that goes through the FortiGate, you can see the traffic from the LAN, see the traffic from the WAN, as well as you can see everything. Besides that it allows you to be more granular to observe which policies or interfaces are consuming a greater bandwidth or if a team is making concurrent requests to a malicious website somewhere in the world. With FortiView you can observe all the traffic and any anomaly. I am fascinated by the section of security profiles, there is the essential FortiGate that are the famous UTM antivirus, web filtering, application control, DNS, proxy, IPS, WAF, SSL, as other UTM fundamental for security in a network . You have a section devoted to log where you can also see all the blockages that the team has done granularly. FortiGate incorporates in a single box several Fortinet products, such as FortiWAN, Fortianalizer, Fortimanager, among others, each of them compose a small module in each fortigate that makes the box...

What do you like best about the product?
Fortigate teams are the firewal teams par excellence in the vast majority of companies where the network infrastructure is quite broad. Fortigate computers are teams that provide large amounts of options to apply security in the internal network. One of the most important options FortiGate equipment is the application of the UTM for their latest firmware versions, this option UTM is to classify web pages by category that are updated based on given data fortinet that is in the cloud . With the application of these UTM you can carry out webpage blocking policies by category, also with the DNS filter option. These are options that firewall equipment has to apply security in the infrastructure.

With the implementation of the fortigate equipment at the branch level, we have not had any major inconvenience in the connection part of the equipment since the equipment is correctly identified where it is not easy for us to make both the network and power connections. . At nievel administration tam, mpco we have detected failures since it has a very graphic interface where you can make the configurations without problem, with a solid knowledge in the area of networks we will not have big problems for the administration of these teams.

Enterprise-grade firewall backed by millions of companies and representative of the Gartner quadrant
What do you like best about the product?
Fortigate brand that is characterized by firewalls that provide security at the network level in business areas, leading the Gartner quadrant in 2018 as the best UTM security solution against major commercial brands such as Cisco and Palo Alto.
As a firewall it stands out as one of the few firewalls in which its installation and implementation can be done without the need for Fortinet support. On a personal level, when our 500E and 200E firewalls were implemented, the installation and configuration was carried out in the company without requiring external support. It had to replace two Fortigate 110C for a 500E and a 200E. The implementation was based on raising the requirements of security policies including web profiles through the active directory, this was achieved by installing the Fortinet Single Sign-On on the domain controller server and making the respective configuration in the Fortinet in "User & Device "section" LDAP Servers "is added the IP address of the main domain controller, LDAP port, common identifier name, distinguished name, authentication type (Simple, Anonymous, Regular), domain administrator user, user password and validates connectivity.
Based on this requirement, each user has a navigation profile from a literal F (the lowest) to the literal A (Presidency), according to each profile adjusted security profiles called UTM, adding in each policy the following UTM: Antivirus, Web Filter, DNS Filter, Application Control, Data Leak Prevention, Proxy Options and SSL / SSH Inspection. With the application of these UTM users are prevented from entering malicious websites, idle or with virus content, and applications that function as web, also prevents the download of executable files, musicás, videos, among others, also includes navigation with security certificates for the analysis of HTTPS packages. This strengthens Internet browsing within the organization by adding an extra level of security. In addition, this configuration applies to mobile devices.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any problem with the Fortinet firewalls, rather every time a new FortiOS update is included in the firewalls of the company, the last update applied was 6.2 which improves the components of SD-WAN, Security Fabric, Fabric Connectors, MultiCloud, DevOps, Secure Access and other new 120 functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An Internet browsing based on web profiles included in a hierarchy from the lowest (F) to the highest (A), also replaces a Fortigate 110C team that falls short with the operation of the company because when adding a UTM processor consumption increases inhibiting the device and discarding all communication to the internet. It creates a communication with the active directory, navigation profiles with mobile devices, including SSL VPN.

My experience managing fortigate.
What do you like best about the product?
In the company Serfiprima we implemented a fortinet of the manufacturer Fortinet as a firewall team. Fortinet computers are the computers by firewall preference. With the fortigate configuration options we impose security and restriction of pages, user locks, vpn accesses, among others. When we apply security the UTM we speak of blockages of pages by categories for example web filter and dns filter we apply restrictions between those category, also blockages of applications. These UTMs apply to only licensed equipment. They make mach with the fortigate database that are in the cloud.

With the time of implementation and administration of fortigate equipment I have not had failures with the equipment, without a doubt they are teams that work at a high intensity and without problems, with all the solutions they provide us. The complicated thing is the process of updating fimware configurations are lost when increasing of version, it is necessary to be on the lookout when they make these updates.

Very Popular And Respected Firewall In The Market
What do you like best about the product?
The graphical interface of the system provides easy status visualization through the dashboard menu, not to mention the ease of making settings.
Among the protections we can avoid contraindications, Web filtering, antimalware and application control and encrypted traffic. The way we can implement is also flexible, with FortiGate's corporate firewalls, we can deploy them from the edge of the network to the core, internally and in our datacenters. Because the filter possibilities are immense, its CLI becomes simple after an adaptation, but the interfaces are preferred by the graphical interface (GUI). FortiGate is an essential part of the security mesh, which protects the corporate network against known and unknown attacks.
