FortiGate NGFW is best solution to manage & protect Enterprises for next generation threat vectors .
What do you like best about the product?
Fortgate NGFW is based on ASIC (Application specific Integreted Archetecture), allowing it to control the allowlisting & blocklisting of multiple apps. It also provides a granular reporting part with the help of Forti Analyzer that increases the visibility of the entire IT environment; Many threats cab be prevented if you keep a closed eye on reporting part only.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since this is time for perimeter-less security, especially in hybrid environments, employees are working from everywhere, Forcepoint needs to focus more on CASB (Cloud Access Security Brocker)
Where employees are using multiple apps, some are sanctions some are not. Somtimes they downloads malcious apps which may exfiltrate the secure data.

The Next Generation Firewall high performance and including SDWAN Function
What do you like best about the product?
The FortiGate Firewall has many Security Functions (like Web Filtering, Application Control, IPS, Antivirus, ...) that help the organization to protect the users.
Beside that, the FortiGate Firewall also has SD-WAN Function that optimizing traffic from user to application via the hybrid WAN environment (MPLS, Internet Broadband, ...).
And what i like the best is that we can combine Security Function and SD-WAN, which means I can optimize traffic from user to application and also can scan this traffic flow with Security Function to protect the Local Application Server or the User.

What do you dislike about the product?
The feature is good, but the FortiOS has many bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I combine SD-WAN and Security Function, so I can replace the Router and old Firewall at the Branch Site with a single FortiGate device. That helps me manage the Network and Security aspects at the Branch easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make a stable FortiOS firmware.
Miglior firewall e relativa dashboard performante per il controllo totale di LAN e WAN
What do you like best about the product?
Fortinet, e più specificatamente la serie di firewall e applicazioni FortiGate, rappresenta per me e per molti specialisti del comparto IT Security la migliore soluzione presente nell'ultimo decennio oltre che la più stabile e affidabile per gestire in modo veloce, semplice e senza preoccupazioni svariate operazione relative alla Cybersecurity e a molti altri aspetti del networking LAN e WAN.
Di FortiGate la cosa che preferisco più di tutte è l'eccezionale pannello FortiFabric in grado di consentire la visione, la manipolazione e la totale gestione degli aspetti di un firewall a 360 gradi senza dover quindi ricorrere a noiose e complicate linee di comando o console SSH. Tutto da web in modo responsive, posso fare modifiche al volo anche dal cellulare (previa VPN, ovviamente) mentre sono in viaggio o out of office
Per farla breve, una più che eccellente serie di prodotti e soluzioni perfetti per gestire IT Security e Security Operations in un click

What do you dislike about the product?
Il costo delle licenze UTM andrebbe rivisto, è indicibile dover pagare cifre altissime (che non posso divulgare in quanto frutto di accordi commerciali) semplicemente per poter filtrare un URL o un servizio P2P, sono funzionalità che dovrebbero già essere standard oltre che attive e gratuita in un "next generation" firewall
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gestire, mantenere, aggiornare e scalare ovunque mi trovi e con qualunque device (laptop, smartphone, smart tv) tutti gli aspetti security operations della nostra rete LAN e WAN corporate ponendo ulteriore focus sulla dashboard degli eventi che consente di monitorare in modo semplice, veloce e diretto ogni problema, intrusione o minaccia nelle reti di cui sopra
Have high security and quality in one device.
What do you like best about the product?
Fortinet has been very supportive because it has provided me with an "engineer" at no cost and helps me design new projects. It has been good for me because it covers small and medium-sized businesses such as mine. This informative tool makes it easy for me to see and makes quick results to evaluate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't use this tool if I want to report or be able to investigate on the network. It is not very effective and this generates little performance for my projects. To detect viruses, intrusions or unwanted emails, you need adjustment so the fee will have false positives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We love this tool because it is easy to install, manage with a good domain, with an affordable price and excellent protection. We have not had any kind of problem with our equipment when it comes to work. This program will give us the security of what we see and download.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is fantastic for the public in general, it is ideal for current use and future growth. It is suitable for large companies with an extensive data center.
It has a diversity of functions, and fantastic stability.
