Awesome Firewall. Very Cost Effective

  • August 10, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
FortiGate has a very straightforward, easy-to-use GUI. Have a readily available CLI option if needed. Unmatched performance with DPI, and I have had very few major issues with them
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any major dislikes. I recommend this firewall to all organizations. Sometimes, the HA is a little finicky with switching over to the secondary then back to the primary, but this does not happen often
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Does a great job of content filtering, along with acting as a reliable policy-based firewall and gateway
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best Firewall for the money. There are others like Palo Alto and Cisco that are excellent but Fortigates provide the most bang for the buck

There are many features available in fortigate ngfw like as URL filtering, antivirus,antimalware. once can easily block/restrict real time attacker by making a security policies and access list.it is very useful device in scenario of zero day attack.

There are no dislikes as such however the log reporting part of this device should get improved in future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is one useful feature in which if we want to capture the SSL traffic on the firewall, we can simply decrypt the HTTPS traffic with the keys & verify the hidden files if we're going to look into the malicious codes/file in communications in infra.

Fast Deployment And Capable Firewall

  • July 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There have different products for Small, Medium & large scall of companies which make it batter. we are using 60D & 60E for the small units which give a secure network & we can create IPSec or SSL tunnel to connect with the central unit. it is a very faster and secure method to connect our different sides.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are constant new firmware and updates which sometimes are not clear to us as clients of what might impact
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the fast deployment and the balance between cost, features, and capacity that it offers, even though it's not a dedicated client VPN solution it is very powerful. We would consider implementing more security features before the deployment, because of the situation we needed to put it in production very fast however it then affected the deployment of such features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product stands well in the leader's quadrant also, it is a good product and now reaches is increasing. more and more customers are now adapting this product due to quality customer support and product features.
