"The reason I recommend this product is because it guarantees that your network will be safe if it is set up properly and you fully utilize most of the functions."
"The support services, performance, and pricing are all valuable features. The performance is excellent."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"One of the big advantages of using Fortinet FortiWeb is all the Fortinet family solutions use the same user interface and logic. This makes it easy to use, configure, manage, and understand if you have used one of their solutions before or are wanting to implement other Fortinet solutions in the future. Additionally, all Fortinet solutions can be managed with one application called FortiManager."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"SSL Offloading simplifies the public certificate handling and brings additional protection features."
"Support is not that great."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"The GUI could be better. It's limited."
"The documentation for the machine learning could be better."
"I had some small problems when I was upgrading firmware. After the upgrade, some of my certificates were deleted."
"Fortinet FortiWeb needs to improve the way it's configured. Common services like publishing exchange should be done in one click only."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"The interface could have the interdependent elements arranged sequentially and wizards that go through most common deployment actions."
