My experience applying security with the Fortigate team Fortinet.
What do you like best about the product?
In the insurance company mpiramide we have implemented as a firewall the fortigate team of Fortinet as a security barrier against the WAN network. Fortigate equipment provides security configurations to provide a secure environment in our business network. Fortigate gives us different methods of protection, one of them are the UTM that are categories of blocking pages. With the fortigate it also gives us remote access via VPN that is configured as a server on the computer and the clients manage a client called forticlient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Implementing fortigate I have never had problems when assigning a permit or navigation policy. I configure the data links and the internet links dedicated to the equipment in order to do the filtering correctly, it has not fallen on the part of the team, until now the fortigate teams have responded as necessary to the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with the help of fortigate I have implemented malware security in pages infected with a virus, it has also helped us to block pages that can not be accessed by company policies such as social networks, obscene pages, policies among others, this is achieved with the implementation of the UTM in each policy. We also solve remote connections using SSL VPN or IPSEC connections.

What do you like best about the product?
We bought two FortiGate 800D for a branch. The second Fortigate is a backup and works in passive mode.
The experience has been fantastic with them. Fortigate 800D has easy configuration through a very friendly graphical interface and also has a excellent attractive value. In our branch we use it for protection services, Web filtering, VPN and application control.

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.

The strengths of the unified control of dawns of Fortinet
What do you like best about the product?
The strategy of a unified control of dawns is a range of fundamental functions to retain all kinds of amanaza in the network. Be of internal control or connection to the internet. The control is oriented to a series of profiles that operate according to security policies. Each profile of these tools retains according to their specialty as application control or web page filtering in the Internet access, an antivirus application or a prevision of intruders all the threats that increase the vulnerability of the networks every day
What do you dislike about the product?
The error of these functions is to install them in a lower category equipment, since when placing it in security profiles they demand the resources of the hardware, therefore the network analysis is more exhautive but slow. However, this tool is the only one of the most integrated firewall market
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits with this tool application are complex, such as securing attacks on public servers with vulnerable information in your local area network. Additional as the application of these profiles to ensure a general navigation as levels of access
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend UTM for all secure policies for safe browsing or retention of dawns to your public servers.

Experience with fortigate firewall

The company implements security mechanisms through different protocols to make the network impractical for malicious hachers, but at the same time it is necessary to manage a firewall to study and verify traffic entering and leaving the network and Fortigate is one of the best teams that perform that work. With the application of the UTM in the policy guarantees according to the configuration in the utm apply security also allows to block logical ports in the network. This equipment is very useful when applying security in the network.

One of the best firewalls in the world
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Fortigate is the easy administration for users of any network level.
The creation and implementation of your security policies is the easiest to use, just choose source interface, destination interface, ports and UTM and you have already created a security policy according to the needs.
The customization of the UTM is a great advantage that offers network administrators because in a few clicks you can adjust the UTM to the requirements of the company. Fortigate has a great variety of UTMs in which web filtering and application control stand out.
The option of having SD-WAN is advantageous when having more than one Internet provider, the reports are of great help when solving problems.
Totally Fortigate is one of the best firewalls at all levels. For some reason they lead the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Totally recommended.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like about Fortigate is that it needs to mature its firmware, there are a lot of erroneous firmware coming out and it's already creating what's called more quantity than quality.
They should test their firmware better before throwing them to the public because a network administrator wants to have their computers updated but it is difficult when the released firmware have errors and compromise the productive of the company.
Of the rest I have no objection to Fortigate firewalls.
