Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate

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.
  • Inbuilt wireless controller, which helps to create wireless VLAN. Its an amazing feature provided by FortiGate. There is no need to pay more for this feature. It is an inbuilt controller. I truly appreciate Fortinet to avail this feature avail within the NGFW and strong managing capabilities.
  • The VPN throughput. Hats' off commitment by Fortinet. The words in data-sheet of FortiGate device means it and proved it. We are using the site-to-site VPN, site-to-client VPN, and my clients are happy with the level of connectivity and responsiveness.
  • Security Fabric. Another legitimate feature proves FortiGate out of the box. All the devices installed in end-point or in network , are well synchronized for playing vital roles to provide security. And they are worthy.
  • Post Sale Support, I think. It could be improved. The product has amazing features and commitment towards its dedicated performance. The post-sale service might attract more end customers.
  • The user login client application. Currently it is browser based.
  • (Positive) The network is secured.
  • (Positive) As an analyst, I have to convince C level executives regarding protection from threats, intrusion, and productivity of the network resources. And I am achieving all the segments with ease of access.
  • (Neutral) The unavailability of post-sale service requires improvements. But due to the vast community of users and excellent documentation of the product, hides the lack of post-sale service availability.
(Towards Sophos Cyberoam) The VPN throughput is not effective. The device has not any third party certification for the capacity parameters. Wireless controller feature does not exist. No security fabric concept.

(Towards Sonicwall) With compare to FortiGate, VPN throughput is not impressive. No security fabric concept. Management is quite tough with compare to FortiGate.
No doubt, what a company's system administrator wants from a UTM device. It has everything and the parameters are proven by NSS Labs. The only need is to size the requirement accurately and the consumer will never regret having it. It's a world-class solution and has continuously secured a leading position in Gartner Magic Quadrants.
