Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate
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.
- Web Filter - with the supplied FSSO utility filtering users by groups or department is simple.
- Application Filtering - insight into what applications are running have been great
- SSL VPN - SSL VPN is simple to set up
- AV - has done a great job catching viruses before ever hitting the internal network
- Logging can be a somewhat difficult to dig into
- Occasionally usernames aren't attached to the computers being filtered
- There's been minimal downtime
- Policies are simple to set up, so carving out bandwidth for a specific application is painless
FortiGate has a strong offering at a very competitive price point. I like that with your subscription you get access to all of the pieces, and that features aren't arbitrarily turned off unless you buy a specific license or bundle. For what you get for the price, it's really hard to beat FortiGate, unless money is no object.
