Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate
We use Fortinet FortiGate firewall appliance with our clients to protect customers network, manage remote access and firewall rules. Also as a tunnel between locations of different branches. We are addressing security and virus problems by using built in antivirus, secure the network and manage various controls leveraging cyber security for many clients.
Pros
- Firewall
- VPN
- Antivirus
Cons
- Firewall rules interface
- Forti-token cost
- Brought security level up comparing to our legacy firewall
- Forti-token cost is prohibitive and making us reconsider VPN solution via Fortinet FortiGate
- Ubiquiti Networks UniFi, SonicWall TZ, SonicWall Web Application Firewall, WatchGuard XTM - Discontinued Product, Watchguard Endpoint Security, WatchGuard Network Security, Bitdefender GravityZone, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, Windows Server, Veeam ONE, Veeam Backup for Azure and Veeam Data Platform
Great subscription services and easy branch office VPN configuration. Also a big plus for 2FA via Forti Token integration.
