Comprehensive traffic management and explore improve initial setup processes

What is our primary use case? I'm using Fortinet FortiGate for consultancy, implementation, and troubleshooting after device implementation. We serve as both reseller and consultant, providing search support and consultancy support. I usually recommend Fortinet FortiGate for small and small-sized businesses. How has it helped my organization? I have experience with Fortinet FortiGate SD-WAN, as it is a method for routing traffic. We can assign profiles with specific conditions to create best practices or optimal experiences for customers. These profiles can manage traffic balance or link balancing. We can detect users or specific links for particular services, including load balancing. What is most valuable? Fortinet FortiGate provides superior protection compared to other firewalls, with high processing capabilities. In comparison to Sophos devices, Fortinet FortiGate offers enhanced protection through network protection, IPS, and application protection. What needs improvement? They could simplify their deployment process, especially when customers have existing devices. The configuration approach depends on whether customers need to start from scratch or can utilize existing backups and rules. I would seek to improve Fortinet FortiGate by exploring additional features, such as SASE solutions that we are currently studying and implementing. The configuration could be made easier, particularly during initial setup. We need to ensure comprehensive utilization of all device features and learn best practices from other cases. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate for approximately one year. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Fortinet FortiGate is overall stable. When compared with Sophos, particularly regarding remote access and SSL VPN, Fortinet FortiGate proves much easier to use. While Sophos presented port-related challenges in Egypt, Fortinet FortiGate operates more smoothly. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Fortinet FortiGate is scalable, with capacity depending on firewall sizing. We determine sizing based on multiple factors: number of users, available links, traffic types, server count, services in use, and whether services will be published. We consider parameters such as VPN requirements, remote access needs, side-to-side VPN configuration, and overall traffic volume to determine device capacity. How are customer service and support? We tend to handle support. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have experience with Fortinet products and limited experience with Cisco. I provide other firewalls, such as Sophos, and I have worked with endpoint protection solutions. I have experience with backup solutions such as Veeam, and endpoint security solutions including Kaspersky and ESET. How was the initial setup? I have created many profiles for SD-WAN capabilities while integrating with Fortinet FortiGate. We assess customer needs and make recommendations accordingly. If customers aren't using SD-WAN, I suggest implementing it due to its effective load balancing capabilities and additional firewall features. What was our ROI? Regarding the evaluation of changes in return on investment after implementing the Fortinet solution for SD-WAN hybrid workforce, we work on a case-by-case basis. ROI is monitored by management, and we do not directly track ROI in the systems. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Fortinet FortiGate is among the best options in the market, though alternatives exist, including Sophos. Fortinet FortiGate demonstrates stronger performance and protection compared to Sophos, though its device and license costs are higher. What other advice do I have? I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is our primary use case? I'm using Fortinet FortiGate for consultancy, implementation, and troubleshooting after device implementation. We serve as both reseller and consultant, providing search support and consultancy support. I usually recommend Fortinet FortiGate for small and small-sized businesses. Read more

A robust, secure, and reasonably priced firewall

What is our primary use case? We use Fortinet FortiGate 100F, which is one of two firewalls that we have, one at the entrance of the DMZ and one just outside. One is facing the internet, and the other is at the entrance of the DMZ. We use the one outside to essentially work as a VPN. How has it helped my organization? As compared to our previous firewall, WatchGuard, which is a good firewall, the successful hacking attempts were far fewer and further with the Fortinet FortiGate, but at the same time, I don't know if the credit goes to only FortiGate, as we have two firewalls versus one in the second implementation. Overall, it is more secure. The VPN is also more stable than the offering from WatchGuard at that time. What is most valuable? Fortinet FortiGate is one of the most solid and secure firewalls as long as you keep it up to date. The price is right; it's not very expensive. It's quite feature-rich. While we've mostly used the VPN, we've also utilized it to create high availability. What needs improvement? We are pretty happy with it. If anything, I believe the web interface could be simpler, especially for someone who has limited networking experience. I mostly do administration, and I found Cisco to be the hardest major firewall manufacturer to deal with, with Fortinet FortiGate being the second hardest for me. In comparison, there's a bit of an easier and more user-friendly interface with WatchGuard. For how long have I used the solution? I have about three years of experience with the Fortinet FortiGate firewall. We also use FortiClient VPN. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The VPN was more stable than the offering from WatchGuard at that time. How are customer service and support? I would evaluate the service and technical support of Fortinet FortiGate as pretty good. Whenever we needed them, they would be there for us. I would rate them a nine out of ten. We had no complaints, although they were sometimes extremely busy. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Before using Fortinet FortiGate, we were using WatchGuard, which is another good firewall. How was the initial setup? The initial setup process was efficient, as it took us less than an hour to set up both firewalls. What about the implementation team? I was involved in the deployment of the Fortinet FortiGate, handling the physical deployment myself while our vendor managed the initial setup. We got the Fortinet FortiGate from Telus, which is a Canadian phone company. Our experience was excellent. They're a major phone company, so the services are never less than stellar. The maintenance for Fortinet FortiGate involves just the occasional patch update. We have software that informs us whenever there's a new patch, and if it's critical, we run the patch update immediately; if not, we usually run it at the end of the month after it's released. What was our ROI? We had uninterrupted service. If one firewall failed, we still had a secure infrastructure. I believe we essentially had a great VPN compared to the alternative offerings, so that's a good return on investment. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? It's good. I would rate the price of the Fortinet FortiGate as an eight out of ten. It's not the cheapest, but it's value for money. Given everything we've got out of it: the DMZ port, the VPN, and the high availability, it's a pretty reasonable price. What other advice do I have? I would advise others considering or evaluating the Fortinet FortiGate to buy it. It's one of the best products for the price. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate a nine out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. What is our primary use case?

Provides comprehensive security and time savings

What is our primary use case? The typical use cases for Fortinet FortiGate revolve around its security capabilities, as it has a number of features that clients see as necessary for a security solution. This helps them protect various platforms on their networks and infrastructures. I am involved in implementation as a partner. What is most valuable? It's a good solution. I've not interacted much with it. I know a few features, and it's a nice one. It's comprehensive and time-saving. It covers several areas regarding security. What needs improvement? Improvements for Fortinet FortiGate could be made by making it easier to implement on networks and simpler to add users and accounts that utilize this solution. That's basically the only challenge that I see. For how long have I used the solution? I have one to two years of experience working with Fortinet FortiGate. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. While there are issues during implementation, once everything is properly configured, it remains stable. The implementation process can affect users, but those issues get sorted out. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I find the scalability of this solution to be very good because it allows for easy expansion. You can add more users as needed, which makes it flexible. How are customer service and support? I would rate the technical support from Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I normally apply the licensing as a partner, but I am not involved in procurement. What other advice do I have? It's a good product that significantly enhances security and protects organizational data. Therefore, I would recommend considering using it. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten.

Does its job effectively and protects our environment

How has it helped my organization? We don't have any issues regarding security, and our web server is running fine with protection from all threats. What is most valuable? The best features of Fortinet FortiGate are that it does the job effectively and protects our environment. It has a VPN and can create a virtual IP for a web server and functions as a standard firewall. What needs improvement? We faced difficulties with the configuration because there are many features we could optimize using Fortinet FortiGate, but our reseller didn't have a good understanding of it. So, we just use it on a basic level, not with the best practice for using FortiGate. For how long have I used the solution? We have been using Fortinet FortiGate for around five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Overall, I find Fortinet FortiGate to be very stable. Fortinet FortiGate demonstrates consistent stability. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? In my case, the 101F is not scalable. I faced problems with scalability related to memory. When we hit 100% memory usage, it stops the internet connection, so we need to control the traffic. We cannot increase the memory. We have about 350 users and only one admin. How are customer service and support? My experience with Fortinet's technical support is good and helpful. The response time and overall competence meet our expectations. I would rate their support a seven out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We used Juniper before Fortinet FortiGate. We switched because it was an old one and reached the end of support. We had to change. How was the initial setup? We were supported by a third party and the reseller. During deployment, it was not a good experience because of the reseller. We had challenges with the optimized configuration. The deployment took around three months. What about the implementation team? The reseller helped us with the implementation. It has been a long time since the implementation, so I don't remember the name of the company that helped us. Our IT has six people for deployment, and we used two staff members. What was our ROI? We have seen a return on investment with Fortinet FortiGate. The ROI calculation is based on potential loss prevention rather than traditional ROI metrics. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Its pricing is good. The advantages of Fortinet FortiGate over its competitors include good pricing and meeting our requirements at a lower cost. Palo Alto's features are superior, but too expensive. Which other solutions did I evaluate? I compared other brands, such as Palo Alto and Sophos, and chose Fortinet FortiGate. Palo Alto is the best, but it is significantly more expensive. Palo Alto has better capabilities than Fortinet FortiGate. Their protection is much more secure, and they excel in detecting intrusion and reading information. What other advice do I have? I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. How has it helped my organization? We don't have any issues regarding security, and our web server is running fine with protection from all threats. What is most valuable?

Ease of configuration and strong performance have improved efficiency

What is our primary use case? The main use cases for Fortinet FortiGate are for small, medium to large enterprises, and they also have products for SOHO (small office/home office). That is where they stand out. How has it helped my organization? The main benefits that Fortinet FortiGate brings to the table include the ease of configuration, stability of the product, and excellent support. When a customer is using Fortinet FortiGate, they will not look at any other products for expansion or upgrades. In terms of price and performance, it gives a very good, balanced product. What is most valuable? One of Fortinet FortiGate's best features is in terms of the configuration; it is one of the easiest to configure. It is very easy and based on ASICs. In terms of performance under scalability and stability, I would rate it amongst the best. I have not come across a product that I have had to replace or generate an R&D for to date. There has not been any impact in terms of performance for customers because Fortinet FortiGate is dependent on the architecture, which is totally different. They have security processors, network processors, and they work on a different architecture compared to other products. To be very frank, we have not had any performance issues when deploying SD-WAN and a next-generation firewall together. What needs improvement? Regarding improvements for Fortinet FortiGate, there is always room for improvement in any product. In information technology, things fade away quickly, and new technologies come in. It is how quickly each of these companies adapts to that and brings in more value to the customer. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate for over fifteen years. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? For scaling Fortinet FortiGate, I am not sure about scaling down as we have not had any instances, but scaling up has presented no challenges. How are customer service and support? I would rate the Fortinet FortiGate technical support as extremely good so far. I have not had any issues, and I would rate it the same as Cisco. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? One pro for the Fortinet FortiGate compared to Palo Alto, Cisco products, and WatchGuard is that the architecture is different because they use specific processors to handle different types of traffic, both security traffic and routing traffic. They keep enhancing the processors as they improve the capabilities of the product. As for cons, I do not see anything at this point in time. How was the initial setup? The initial setup for Fortinet FortiGate is extremely simple. It takes about five minutes to get it up and running. It is that easy. Nothing beyond that. What about the implementation team? The deployment process for Fortinet FortiGate is generally very simple. We give the prerequisites to the customer in terms of a number of man links they want to connect and what the LAN subnet and number of subnets are. These initial details are gathered from the customer. Once the appliances are in place, we begin with the contribution to the content management interface. Most of the time, we start with the LAN configuration and the LAN network configuration. Then we move to firewall policies based on the organization's requirements, licensing the product on the cloud, and subscription licenses. In some cases, we configure VPNs and site-to-site VPNs. That is about it, and there are certain features that need to be enabled, which we will enable. What was our ROI? One thing I would definitely state about Fortinet FortiGate is that, in terms of performance, if compared with a product of the same price point, Fortinet FortiGate will outperform it. This way, the customer has a better ROI because they do not have to look at changing it or looking at an upgrade frequently. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I find the pricing setup cost and licensing for Fortinet FortiGate reasonable. What other advice do I have? I work with Fortinet FortiGate SD-WAN extensively. My experience in integrating SD-WAN capabilities with Fortinet FortiGate in the network is that it is very easy. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate as a highly mature product. I have been working with them for quite a long time and have multiple implementations across India. I have not come across any instance where I had to replace the product. My advice for others looking into implementing Fortinet FortiGate is to plan the capacity properly and right-size the product for the specific customer, which is most important. When choosing the wrong model, some run into issues where it is not supporting that procedure, the system going under load, and similar issues. It is primarily important to spend more time on the design and finalize what is required in terms of the appliances. On a scale of one to ten, I rate this solution 10 out of 10. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is our primary use case? The main use cases for Fortinet FortiGate are for small, medium to large enterprises, and they also have products for SOHO (small office/home office). That is where they stand out.

SD-WAN feature helps with network integrity, but support needs enhancement

What is most valuable? The SD-WAN feature of Fortinet FortiGate has been most impactful in maintaining our network's integrity. Fortinet FortiGate's threat detection capabilities are good for our use because it's an internal firewall; however, we haven't enabled some of the features that are there. We've enabled IPS and antivirus generally. What needs improvement? They could improve the response time and quality of support. I'm not sure what additional features they need to have in the future to make it better. For the purpose that we use it, it is doing the job, but I haven't explored some of the features. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Fortinet FortiGate for seven years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I haven't had any issues with the stability or performance of the actual firewall. It has been fine with no bugs. We didn't have to think about upgrading or anything; it does what we bought it for. If it wasn't for the end of support and the end of sale, we would not think about changing it. We are considering similar products for upgrading, maybe newer or bigger hardware. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The product is scalable. Currently, 120 people are using Fortinet FortiGate in my company. How are customer service and support? I would rate their technical support about six out of ten; I'm not fully satisfied. They could improve the response time and quality of support. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral What was our ROI? Fortinet FortiGate has delivered financial and operational ROI to my organization. It took about two to three years to realize ROI with Fortinet FortiGate. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? At the time we bought them, I was satisfied with their pricing; I don't know how the new pricing will be. We have to pay additionally for maintenance or support; it is not all included. What other advice do I have? I would rate Fortinet FortiGate a seven out of ten.

Simple to use and does a wonderful job in protecting enterprises

What is our primary use case? Our main use cases for Fortinet FortiGate include using it as a perimeter firewall. Fortinet FortiGate manages all our policies and other things. How has it helped my organization? Fortinet FortiGate has impacted our cost savings and security efficiency positively. Fortinet FortiGate's VPN capabilities are very effective for us. We utilize the VPN facilities of Fortinet FortiGate all the time, so anybody who accesses our SAP systems utilizes the VPN of Fortinet FortiGate. It has been quite seamless in terms of integration. We find it very useful for us. What is most valuable? The features I find most useful in Fortinet FortiGate are its simplicity of utilization, which is very important, and its provision of interfaces to see the alerts and other things. It is very useful. We use it to understand who our top users of the internet are, what they are using, and when they are using it. It gives us many glimpses into the inner workings of the organization. What needs improvement? At this moment, we believe that Fortinet FortiGate should be improved by injecting more AI because the kind of threats we are seeing are more ransomware threats. Fortinet FortiGate is able to ensure these threats do not enter, but we would prefer to see more proactive alerting mechanisms come out. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with Fortinet FortiGate in this company for about a year or over a year now, and in my previous company, I used it for almost four years, totaling five years of experience. What do I think about the stability of the solution? For stability, I have no complaints; we are satisfied customers. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Fortinet FortiGate is scalable enough for our environment. We are using Fortinet FortiGate in the consumer durables industry for electrical products. We currently have a little over 2,000 users working with Fortinet FortiGate in our environment. We plan to increase the usage of Fortinet FortiGate in the future, shortly upgrading and increasing the number of users. How are customer service and support? For technical support of Fortinet FortiGate, we utilize a channel partner and we are very happy with them. They support us almost instantly. They have backend support from Fortinet FortiGate, which they utilize. I would rate the support an eight out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? The setup of Fortinet FortiGate is very simple, worthy of a nine out of ten rating. The deployment part of Fortinet FortiGate takes a couple of hours. We decided to go for Fortinet FortiGate because it was simple to implement, it was simple to get the policies implemented, and the interfaces were quite simple. Simplicity was the main reason. The product is very good. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I find it quite reasonable. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Before working with Fortinet FortiGate, we evaluated Check Point, Palo Alto, and Blue Coat solutions. The reason we chose Fortinet FortiGate was basically because of security and simplicity of use. What other advice do I have? I would recommend Fortinet FortiGate to those who are looking into using it because if they look at the manner in which it protects their enterprise, it does a wonderful job of that. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Offers diverse features for threat detection and operational efficiency

What is our primary use case? Generally, government and PSU, diamond companies, textile companies, and chemical companies are using Fortinet FortiGate in the Gujarat segment. We are also working with the Fortinet FortiSwitch and Fortinet AP. What is most valuable? Fortinet FortiGate has SD-WAN, FortiView, antivirus, sandbox, and IPS, which are generally well-known features. Fortinet FortiGate has a threat detection capacity compared to other vendors. What needs improvement? Fortinet technical support is lacking, as OEM support is slightly better. Improvement in their technical support could include response time as well as having more technically sound people in tech support. For how long have I used the solution? I have more than 12 years of experience with Fortinet FortiGate. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? This product is very scalable because Fortinet offers models ranging from thirty gigs to six thousand series and also offers solutions as VMs, making it highly scalable. How are customer service and support? Their support could be better. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We are working with both Fortinet and Check Point. Fortinet FortiGate is better compared to Check Point because I have worked with the Check Point model CP15,500. What was our ROI? Financial and operational ROI from Fortinet FortiGate is very fine compared to other products. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? There is no challenge in Fortinet FortiGate pricing. There is a little bit of extra cost for FortiManager and logging and reporting solutions. Fortinet can offer solutions such as FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager for free for SMB customers. What other advice do I have? We are not working with AI features in Fortinet FortiGate, but from my knowledge, FortiGuard is using AI tools for threat intelligence and protection. We recommend Fortinet FortiGate to other businesses with similar security needs. I would rate Fortinet FortiGate an eight out of ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is our primary use case? Generally, government and PSU, diamond companies, textile companies, and chemical companies are using Fortinet FortiGate in the Gujarat segment. We are also working with the Fortinet FortiSwitch and Fortinet AP. What is most valuable? Fortinet FortiGate has SD-WAN, FortiView, an Read more
