FortiGate Reviews

We currently have two FortiGate firewalls that we use for city and county Internet gateway connections. All the traffic for each organization flows out to the Internet through one of these firewalls. We also use these firewalls as connectors for each organizations DMZ networks using VLAN technology. As our edge/gateway devices, these firewalls serve several purposes. All inbound and outbound connections are explicitly set, which is intended to limit exposure to ports used by bad actors. The software features included in the firewall inspect all traffic for security including https traffic. We are using firewall software to provide web filtering in an effort to increase productivity and reduce access to potentially bad sites. We are planning on deploying more Fortigate firewalls, including virtualized versions, in an effort to segment internal networks. The FortiGate product is also part of our overarching effort to use Fortinet switches and APs to provide what Fortinet considers a security fabric in an effort to make many of our security products work in concert.

We use it for policies and DMZ access. We currently use it also for natting for the outside presence of websites for users. We use if for the entire district.

Fortinet Fortigate is a complex solution to assure the security of your network perimeter. It has a very simple interface with sufficient functionality. We like this tool because it is easy to install, easy to administer, has a good price, and good protection. We would say that Fortinet Fortigate is the best in its class because of its high availability, speed, resilience, and the vendor offers very qualitative support.

Fortinet is our main firewall. We use it for IPS, Network Antivirus, application control, and web filtering. The FortiGate is used across our entire school district. It does a tremendous job of safeguarding our district from cyber threats.

We like to use it between physical servers and virtual servers to create a stricter zone of security, but it is also well suited in a top-down architecture network.

We use Fortinet FortiGate throughout our organization to protect our internal network for its IPS, web filtering, and application control.

We normally use FortiGate to make a secure connection between our sites and for remote users (employees) to continue working when they travel. We configured HA on them to prevent any disasters in the case devices fail.

Fortinet FortiGate is a mature solution that help us to assure perimeter security of our network. The implementation was pretty easy. We purchased support from the vendor for implementation. The integration with another solution is very easy: SIEM, DLP, proxy. Very user friendly interface and very intuitive. Detailed logs that can be easy send to the SIEM solution.

Fortigate is used by our organization as a firewall and a VPN for our office internet services and some datacenter configurations. We use multiple devices to manage internet traffic and also use it to gain access via VPN to our internet network.

We use FortiGate mainly for internet gateway and IPS at each of our offices. It offers us IPS, Firewall, VPN and many more features for a competitive price.

We also use Fortigate captive portal with their 2FA (mobile or physical) keys to offer an additional validation before accessing our service backend networks.

Fortinet's version of throughput is good and It has a strong active cluster, as you can have between three and 32 units to a cluster. The most important factor is that you choose a firewall or UTM solution that fits your organization's security requirements. Begin by determining what business problem you are trying to solve, what technical controls you need to implement (Firewall, IPS, NAC, VPN, endpoint, mobility, web filtering, malware detection, etc.). Then, determine what hardware features you need such as (HA clustering, link aggregation or 10Gb, port density), and what kind of throughput, and how many concurrent connections.

Our Fortigate is used as the primary network router and IPSec VPN access point. We have a hub [and] spoke setup between the main office and other remote offices. Users also connect to our fortigate to access the network remotely using SSL VPN with the FortiClient software installed on their PCs or using the SSL web portal.

We have two FortiGate 1500D firewalls, one at each datacenter. They are configured as active-passive. All traffic coming and going passes through them for the entire organization. This ensures that all packets to and from users are managed and controlled.

We have been working with this solution over 5 years and we are very satisfied. We use it for one of our offices and the configuration is very easy and intuitive. You can apply policies by address or by user, the integration with Active Directory is not complicated, the cost of the solution is cheaper in comparison with other vendors and including the same solutions.

We use Fortigate in 3 locations, for a total of 5 units (two locations are clustered). Mainly used as router / NAT, we also use it for a large number of Site-to-Site VPNs. We have also recently started using it as IPS, Antivirus, Webfiltering, etc.

We have many policies, with some schedule, very easy to use.

We are using Fortigate Firewalls at all of our properties, from large campus installs to small branch office locations. We use Fortigate units to route traffic and as a Next Generation Firewall, to allow policy based security at all of our locations. The Fortigate units allow us to secure our networks, while providing a great experience for our administrators

This device is being used across the entire organization. We are using it as our primary Internet facing firewall. It is protecting our network from outside threats and ensuring that the users inside the organization are protected as well. All authorized users have access to the FortiClient VPN software so they can access resources from remote locations.

Fortigate is a very simple solution to deploy and it helps to handle web users and to apply policies to those users according to departments or user's roles. This solution was deployed across the whole organization and it helped to manage limited resources as well as network bandwidth. You can manage resources to power or limit users. You can always define new roles and filter websites accordingly.

We are using Fortinet FortiGate as our firewall for our office as well as its client VPN capabilities for certain users to connect back remotely. The firewall provides some website and antivirus filtering to help keep our network secure without solely relying on desktop antivirus programs. It's critical for some workers to be able to connect back to office resources securely with the client VPN installed on their laptops.

FortiGate is used as our enterprise firewall used across the organization. It addresses securing our network from outside attacks with policy control, antivirus, IPS, application and web filtering.

We use Fortinet FortiGate as our firewall at all three of our offices. We use the Fortiguard service on the firewalls, which includes anti-malware, intrusion protection and the Next Generation Firewall. Before we added the Fortiguard services we were unprotected against bad actors from around the world trying to brute force our RDP servers. Now I am confident that all of those actors are being blocked/banned at the firewall.

Our company decided to switch from Checkpoint to Fortinet as a corporate standard. I've used Fortinet products for the last 10 years, and have been incredibly happy with the ease of use, and support resources are not as hard to find as they are for Checkpoint. Additionally, the integrated SD-WAN in more recent versions made us start running out of reasons why we SHOULDN'T use Fortinet FortiGate firewalls.

We use it as our internal and external firewall. It is also used with all security options, including DDOS protection, in our branches.

We're currently working with amaze with a FortiGate 110C, that is our front end Firewall for ISP routing and as a first layer to declare web access policies, anti-spam filtering, IPS, application inventory and to implement fail over policies to warranty the Internet connection to all departments. The UTM Solution from Fortinet brings a bundle package of features that is allowing the company to establish a MAN and an extreme secure VPN layer to deliver to our branch offices the WAN access with incredible ease. I do strongly recommend this quite remarkable Security Solution.

We use Fortigate as our main firewall to protect the network and to establish VPN between 2 sites. We make use of most Fortigate modules and subscription such as anti-spam, anti-virus and Intrusion detection systems. The Fortigates protect our Internal network and the public Wifi we provide to the public. We also take advantage of the Web filtering functionality.
