User Testimonials
	FortiWeb	SonicWall Web Application Firewall
Likelihood to Recommend	Fortinet Regarding my experience, I prefer to deploy FortiWeb in a reverse proxy to have the full features and protection. The other mode will be useful for special cases as will it will not have the full range of features and protection. Like offline Sniffing, it will be used in special cases. Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review	SonicWall I will recommend SonicWall depending of the size of the company and the knowledge of the personal is going to administer the firewall. I deploy those in small office settings where manageability was relative non existence. Incentivized David Orellana IT Network Specialist Read full review
Pros	Fortinet API protection Bot mitigation Web application protection Application delivery Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review	SonicWall Content updates are automatic content lists of applications, URLs, virtual threats. Great visualization through graphics of traffic and threats. One of the best web content filters on the market. Incentivized CY Camila Yamamoto IT Specialist Read full review
Cons	Fortinet Built-in vulnerability scanner should be better in next release Predefined security policies for other web application not listed Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review	SonicWall VPN implementation Geo block rules Incentivized David Orellana IT Network Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	Fortinet No answers on this topic	SonicWall Technical support is a little expensive but it works. Any technical problem or not, SonicWall support helps in solving the problems. The SLA is fast and the service is also cordial, functional, and straight to the point. Support is essential to keep the tool always up-to-date with lists of malware, URLs, attacks, and others.

Alternatives Considered	Fortinet Most of them have the same features but not for FREE. The second point was the total cost of ownership for 3 and 5 years. Fortinet supported us with the best prices for 3 years and 5 years as well with advanced hardware replacement against the others. Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review	SonicWall Both products has their pro and cons. However in term of subscription and pricing for a small office, this offered better ROI as the office didn't want to spend too much and have something relative easy to manage.

Return on Investment	Fortinet ROI for last three years was 60% Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review	SonicWall More accurate analysis with the best usage reports and graphs Reduction of virtual attacks from blocks Incentivized CY Camila Yamamoto IT Specialist Read full review
