Likelihood to Recommend

If you are running a office with multiple branches with mid size organization, it's great to use Fortinet FortiGate because it offers firewall, VPN, AV in one solution.

If you are dependent on third party integration, then, I can tell you that you may find it difficult to connect with these tools. May be you need to put additional effort to configure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Fortinet FortiGate is a great overall product, with multiple solutions for different needs (firewall, antispam, load balancing, etc) One of the key points they have is that the look and feel for every product is very similar, so once you are familiar with one of them, managing a different one is very easy, as the interface and menus are really similar. In their catalog they have a product for almost every security key factor.

Likelihood to Recommend

Fortinet FortiGate is well suited for almost every scenario, as long as you have the knowledge to choose the right model, based on technical requirements and limitations for each model. In my experience, it is a top firewall product, easy to use, manage and backup. Also the FortiManager feature, once you are used to it, is a plus. Also tested as antispam, and it is a nice product.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is an appropriate solution for medium-scale and large-scale organizations. It will help them to protect their network and resources from various cyber threats. It will also help them to optimize their bandwidth uses by restricting access to websites and applications. Its failover and load balancing feature will ensure them higher availability.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have use Fortinet FortiGate fw for a long time. We use it on a daily basis for protecting our environment (server farm). We rely on Fortinet FortiGate hardware as it was give a good cost to performance ratio. From protecting our internet facing environment, B2B connection Fortinet FortiGate always give what we are expecting. Also the firmware upgrade is fast when there's a new CVE publish.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you want fast deployment, Fortinet FortiGate is the one to choose, because the import config feature work seamlessly. The GUI had a plethora design to look at but yet it simple to undestand. Also you can manage fortiwifi from inside the Fortinet FortiGate even with the lowest hardware version. Basically Fortinet FortiGate can deliver a well balance between ease of use and performance.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

There are many uses of Fortinet FortiGate solution.

We are using at first time how Perimeter's Firewall soluction. We knew its technology when migrate Cisco`s ASA to this vendor.

Inmediatly we detected many other uses case such as Wireless solution (FortiAP), Web Application Firewall (FortiWeb) an another more.

Don't forget that Fortinet FortiGate have a concept like an ecosystem; its name is "Fabric".

Likelihood to Recommend

Fortinet FortiGate's solution is well suited in enterprise ambients. When We tried to use its solution in academic ambient, we had some problem with different uses cases typical of this scenario.

On the other hand in ambient when require restricted access, hard securtiy policy and intrusion detection, Fortinet FortiGate swim like a fish.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using a Fortinet enterprise solution for our production site and the D/R site. In both cases we have a cluster of FortiGate appliance which addresses our security issues, VPN access, network segmentation and QOS.

Likelihood to Recommend

In our experience, the FortiGate products are perfectly suited. They manage our security (VPN, IDS, WAF) and QOS very well and don't have really any complaints on them. What we noticed, sometimes, is that, even if in very few occasions, the security rules became, suddenly, extremely strict blocking allowed traffic. In this case a "refresh" of the rles fix the issue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Fortinet FortiGate to centralise our networks, provide secure web filtering and deliver a solid security fabric integrated remote access solution to our Staff and pupils. We needed a single solution to ensure all endpoints/users are audited and robust filtering is in place. Fortinet FortiGate enables us to do all of this and assists us in safguarding our pupils from harm.

Likelihood to Recommend

Fortinet FortiGate addressed an immediate security issue we had a few years ago. The device gave us a much clearer picture of the activities on our network and also more importantly, increased our awareness of threats from the internet as a whole. Fortinet FortiGate helps us to mitigate these threats with regular signature updates from Fortiguard labs, identifying certain characteristics which, once recognised by Fortinet FortiGate, can be harnessed to deploy powerful 'playbooks'.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Fortinet FortiGate firewall appliance with our clients to protect customers network, manage remote access and firewall rules. Also as a tunnel between locations of different branches. We are addressing security and virus problems by using built in antivirus, secure the network and manage various controls leveraging cyber security for many clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

Small to medium business environments especially with multi-branch setups.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Fortinet FortiGate are actually used in our organization for sdwan topology (spoke and hub) and some other clusters are used for north/south filtering. We're using all the featured on different branches and also have a great view of the solution. In addition, we're managing devices through Fortimanager for some of them, and we're collecting all the logs to our FortiAnalyzer.

Likelihood to Recommend

the first scenario is that FortiOS is a know solution for any network engineer also and like Cisco is the best way to have a great adminsitration. Fortinet FortiGate is well suited has the low price permit little and large enterprise/remote site too share the same solution and also to use the sdwan solution of FortiOS to interconnect them in a simple way. You can after that add UTM solution/feature for more security
