TrustRadius Insights
	Fortinet FortiGate	WatchGuard Network Security
Highlights	Research Team Insight Published September 28, 2020 Fortinet FortiGate and WatchGuard Network Security are firewall and web security solutions designed to keep businesses safe from unauthorized access, viruses, zero-day exploits, and other network-based dangers. Both products aim to provide their customers with protection that evolves as the network security landscape changes. FortiGate is available as an on-site integrated product in a physical box or a VM and sees more use by mid-sized companies. WatchGuard Network Security is available in both on-premise and cloud-based form factors, and is used more heavily by small businesses, likely due to its cloud-based option. Features Both FortiGate and WatchGuard Network Security help keep business networks and users safe, but they each have their own benefits. If you’d prefer more control over your security system infrastructure, FortiGate’s on-site deployment might be appealing compared to a cloud-based product. Its licensing options are granular, offering buyers plenty of control over their software and hardware features. FortiGate’s logging is detailed, and administrators generally find the product’s management options helpful. For users who might be new to network security, its graphical user interface (GUI) is easy to navigate and can help them find their footing. WatchGuard Network Security has a wealth of configuration options and protection features available to administrators. The platform’s tools for botnet detection, spam blocking, and geolocation-based permissions are especially appreciated by its users. Administrators report that the Dimension management console is robust and responsive, making it fast to use. The reporting and logging systems are detailed, and administrators report overall satisfaction with the platform’s ability to prevent intrusion and malware. Limitations However, neither product is one-size-fits-all. You should evaluate the pros and cons of both WatchGuard Network Security and FortiGate before purchasing. FortiGate can also be difficult for new users, who feel that there’s not enough available documentation to help them get started. Configuring a new VPN can be cumbersome, requiring manual setup of policies. Some administrators wish for additional features, such as better load-balancing or a live traffic-monitoring tool. Finally, FortiGate’s deployment style means that scaling up can be a bit pricey, requiring you to purchase additional machines from the vendor if your capacity needs grow. WatchGuard Network Security’s many configuration options can be a problem for some users. The large array of possibilities can be hard to navigate, making the platform complicated to set up initially and difficult to modify. The reports and logs, while detailed, lack sufficient searching and filtering capabilities for some users, making it hard for them to track down problems and visualize traffic patterns. WatchGuard Network Security VPNs can suffer from occasional stuttering and failure, requiring system reboots that can frustrate end users. Finally, the licensing options aren’t granular enough for some customers, requiring them to pay for features they don’t need. Pricing WatchGuard Network Security and FortiGate both offer hardware and software customization options that can drastically alter the price of each platform, with potential costs ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. Price quotes are available from each vendor or their respective partners and resellers.

User Testimonials
	Fortinet FortiGate	WatchGuard Network Security
Likelihood to Recommend	We reviewed many different vendors product offerings, we found the Fortinet FortiGate to best fit our needs. We upgraded from a previous firewall, the migration was a fairly easy process. We were also able to consolidate multiple firewalls into one unit using vdoms. It's been helpful to have one pain of glass, one support contract and easy to work with support. These firewalls are feature rich which is great, but the support contracts are expensive. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	One scenario where WatchGuard Network Security is well-suited for a task is when a site needs to be whitelisted. For example, if a site is whitelisted and hosted in a country blocked by geolocation, we can bypass the block and route traffic to the site. This is particularly helpful with CDN's. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	It is the most reliable NGFW that we have ever been touch with it. You can easily upgrade the firewall cluster firmware without user attention!!! User IDentity based feature is fantastic and intrusion prevention just works with least false-positive possible. Very reachfull and intuitive GUI, just love it Incentivized Amin Mirzakhani Network Administrator Read full review	Incoming Torrent attempts were blocked, but outgoing (by a user) were permitted. Similarly, other direct attempts were summarily blocked. provides full administrative support for analysis of usage and scope. strong Wi-Fi support and security - area wi-fi maps They think of all the things secure and I don't have to worry about it. I have not identified anything else that needs improvement - I am well satisfied. Incentivized MC mark crosby CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Cons	When we switched to Fortinet Fortigate, it took some time getting used to and become familiar with the new interface. Being used to strictly command-line interfaces, a full GUI-based firewall was something brand new. Careful planning had to be done when creating rules to ensure we didn't miss anything. However, once we got used to the new GUI interface, going from one Fortinet product to another was simple, as Fortinet used the same interface for all of its devices. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Better integration with VoIP services, such as templates for policies handling traffic for Bria or Asterisk endponts and servers. Get webblocker to work without breaking secure websites. Lower cost on endpoint agents for antivirus and include application control and webblocker with the agents. Make the cost per endpoint with TDR and Netowrk access control lower than the cost of Antivirus licensing that is not integrated. Make it easier to set up network access control and VLAN assignment by device, perhaps with templates. Get webblocker and application control working with QUIC. Incentivized Michael Wilson Systems Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Fortinet's products have kept improving with new software releases and they continue to deliver great value. Their support is also very good. I believe that as a small enterprise, their products have given us competitive advantage delivering features and functionality that enable us to innovate and do things better. They also continue to be a leader in the markets they serve. Incentivized Adrian Cumberbatch Manager, IT Operations Read full review	I'm giving this note to WatchGuard Network Security due to its ease of daily support (after acquiring necessary knowledge in the solution), which allows agility in configuration changes, its integration of several reliable security features (such as SSL VPN, VPN Virtual Interfaces between companies, and others) and functional and stability in operation, with no downtime in the equipment due to problems or malfunctions Incentivized GILIAN HASS IT Analyst Read full review
Usability	The user interface shared among many simultaneous users is very easy to get around. With shared favorites among users, most tasks are easily bookmarked and can quickly be found and edited. Their strategy for web filter integration is easy to understand and manage as well. With some general direction, setup and maintenance were easy to do and easy to teach others in the organization to do as well. Incentivized JW Jeff Winter IS Director Read full review	Although it might take some time to figure out, we have been able to use WatchGuard's online reference library and tech support to create/implement/modify all of our filtering rules and exceptions needed. There really has not been a shortcoming other than perhaps a learning curve. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	We had didn't any hardware failures at our two main office locations and upgraded our units last year after using them for about 5-6 years Incentivized Adrian Cumberbatch Manager, IT Operations Read full review	Availability has always been a strong point of this product, it is rare that watchguard does not have a solution for customers' network monitoring needs.

Performance	Good performance and really good integration. We have integration with Microsoft AD. Incentivized Kewyn Medina Supervisor IT Operations Read full review	The performance of WatchGuard Network Security is very good, in the years that we have used the solution we have only had a single error and Watchguard itself was able to solve it. Furthermore, when purchasing any product, the partner always evaluates the capacity of the solution to recommend the most appropriate product for our needs. Incentivized WA Wander Andujar Encargado de infraestructura y telecomunicaciones. Read full review
Support Rating	We live in Turkey. Fortinet's Turkey office [dealt] constantly with us in our every problem or our experience. In addition, global support teams also supported every ticket we opened in every problem we encountered. They support innovative approaches and evaluate and offer solutions. In this context, they were very supportive of the problems we encountered in previous versions. TT Tayfun Toka Senior Security Supervisor Read full review	For something that is considered business critical they should be far more responsive. Security isn't something to take lightly in today's work environment and so long as its working you are happy. But when it doesn't and you need that professional assistance, they weren't always there and I ultimately resolved my issues with the help of Google. Incentivized DK Dana Kinser IT Administrator Read full review
In-Person Training	I received it a couple years afters use it and it was just to confirm my knowledge about the tool. Incentivized Kewyn Medina Supervisor IT Operations Read full review	We participate to a in person training and the three days of learning was really useful and complete to gain skill to solve the major part of the problem we encounter during our life. And more the in person training give us the opportunity to create a network with other WatchGuard partner. Incentivized GD Giovanni Derosas Senior Information Technology Audit Manager Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	Online training is good for learning how to use the product. It does not teach security strategy because that is not its intent. Incentivized FK Felicia King President Read full review
Implementation Rating	Make sure that you have the most current version of FortiOS. Make sure all Fortigates are on the same version Incentivized Steve Jenovai Systems Architect Read full review	I had my key information for setting up the firewall, and they assisted me in finding the settings and appropriate places to enter data. They also helped troubleshoot when I didn't understand some of their feature concepts, and we got it running. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	One of the biggest advantages over competitors that Fortinet FortiGate leverages well is its remote virtual private networks options. Licensing is included with Fortinet FortiGate units at no extra cost. We find that the telemetry is easier to compile and most importantly communicate with non technical members of staff. The Fortinet FortiGate unit is also extremely stable for long periods of time without showing signs of needing a reboot. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The real pluses that WatchGaurd offers is both price and usability. While some products have excelled at one, finding one that offers both has been consistently Watchguard. We have used Watchguard for 20 years now and over that time we have been able to rely on the fact that the experience gets better overtime and does not stagnate. Further, we have not had any issues with the security as opposed to products such as Fortinet. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	My environments are pretty small (less than 100 users per location) so no issues here. Incentivized Adrian Cumberbatch Manager, IT Operations Read full review	This product is very scalable since previously everything related to Watchguard was on premises but that has now changed with the inclusion of watchguard cloud. Now the product has evolved to have full control of firewalls at the cloud level. Incentivized WA Wander Andujar Encargado de infraestructura y telecomunicaciones. Read full review
Return on Investment	SD-WAN : Can't stress it further that we are very happy with this functionality and outcomes in the org. We have multiple WAN and MPLS links and traffic switching becomes an important in order to utilize the best performing line. QoS : We use QoS for almost all internet traffic, be it Web browsing by users, IOT segment, Application based traffic policy and VIP and normal user based bandwidth allocation. SSL and IPSec VPN, both features are fully used to it absolute capacity. IPSec tunnels with multiple sister companies across globe.
