Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate
We use Fortinet Fortigates as perimeter and WAN firewalls nationally and use them for intrusion prevention, web filtering, application filtering, VPN, and proxy.
- Ease to deploy and manage.
- Very cost effective when compared to competitors.
- Good, local, reactive support.
- Upgrades are always "risky" (usually wait for 2 upgrades before upgrading).
- Some of the settings don't make sense at first look.
- We were able to replace our old, non-HA firewalls, with Ha Fortigates at a fraction of the cost.
- Because of the cost savings, we were able to deploy more appliances in more offices.
- Central management (FortiManager) saves us time and money when managing the devices.
Same functionality (in some cases even greater) at a fraction of the cost, with a much more intuitive management interface and a constantly evolving OS that adapts to the needs of the clients.
