Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate

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.
  • fire wall
  • antivirus
  • VPN
  • GUI
  • wizards
  • price
  • Main ROI is security
  • Difficult to recognize real ROI as you don't know losses incurred without.
  • Fortinet could show clearer which attacks were averted in order to highlight ROI
My main experience with competitors is with Check Point. Though on first look Check Point is cheaper, really if you compare correctly using the real-time throughput available to both you will see that Fortinet Fortigate will usually cover you with a lower level device which will end up being cheaper
Any company that takes information security serious should use Fortinet Fortigate as their primary firewall for the first line protection. Likewise, a company with multiple sites should make use of Fortinet Fortigate's tunneling options. If users need to be able to access the office remotely, there is nothing like Fortinet Fortigate's VPN to do so.
