Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate

We use it for policies and DMZ access. We currently use it also for natting for the outside presence of websites for users. We use if for the entire district.
  • The GUI is easy so that is a major plus.
  • The cost is really good. Others we've seen are pretty costly, especially if you are on a budget.
  • An engineer to help with the installation at no cost is really good. Too many times you had to pay for that and travel at times.
  • Management needs a little work but we can get by with a few tweaks.
  • Real-time would be good.
  • Some logging features could use a little lift but not too bad. It depends on what you're looking for.
  • Its been good for us, money well spent.
  • Really no negative impact to say.
Its a good product compared to others. Cisco ASA is a good product but too expensive. Palo Alto is good also but the service contract is really costly.
Good Support, never had any issues with that part.
