FortiGate Reviews

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

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'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.

The FortiGate in our environment provides protection across the entire organization. We are using SSL VPN, web filter, antivirus, and application monitoring. I can attest that these functions all work really well, and our FortiGate has had high reliability and configuring it is not a laborious task. The few interactions I have had with support have been great.

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.

FortiGate is a gateway firewall in our organization. It is utilized as a UTM. Our network is monitored, analyzed, secured and enhanced by the FortiGate device. Its is utilized across the whole organization. We can secure our network from threats, antivirus, intrusion using the G/W firewall. Cloud based reporting is really a decent feature of FortiGate. QoS, web filtering, AD synchronization, control over applications, SSL/IPSec VPN, and site-to-site IPSec VPN features are utilized by us.

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 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 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.

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.

We use and recommend Fortinet Fortigate to all our customers as the main firewall at the internet access point of the organization. We use it mainly as a firewall but we also make use of its anti-virus capabilities and as a web filter. The VPN is an additional plus.

We use Fortigate across the whole organization. It is used for firewall/IPS/Web filtering.

For customers with 50-200 users we are using FortiGate as the central firewall. That is, internal users are surfing the Internet (URL filtering, antivirus), servers in the DMZ are reached from the Internet, partners are connected via static site-to-site VPNs, and home office users are able to log into the company network via a VPN with two-factor authentication.

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.

We use the Fortigates as our primary firewalls at our primary and DR locations. We also use them for creating VPN tunnels between outlying branches for secure communication over the internet. They are also used as another layer of anti-virus, DDOS, etc., for our organization.

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 use a variety of Fortigate models across our and our customer organizations. We use it as a firewall/security/VPN appliance and also as a high availability gateway at several locations. We needed to find a product that was quick to setup, easy to manage, and provided advanced security features. Netflow/S-flow are built into Foritgate, which met another one of our requirements for traffic monitoring. We also needed a company that had a product line that could tolerate environmental extremes in an industrial environment. Fortigate has such a product line.

The Fortigate GUI is intuitive and provides easy visibility into multiple network activities. When we are trouble-shooting for our customers, this interface has often proven invaluable in quickly getting to the heart of network or security issues.

Firewalls were deployed at HQ, remote offices, and used as our primary gateway, UTM/NGFW for 2 production datacenters. Only firewall, UTM modules, and basic routing were used, no dynamic routing, wireless, vpn client or endpoint protection software.

We deploy multiple clusters of FortiGate 1500Ds nation-wide for our customers' centralized firewall as well as VPN concentrators. We also installed remote office class Fortigate to customer's locations to set up a VPN from the locations into the VPN concentrators.
