"FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering."
"The pipe filter application is an outstanding feature."
"Initial setup is easy to configure."
"Using this product makes the VPN seamless and almost invisible to me in the sense that I don't have to think about it."
"The most important feature, normally for small business customers, is link load balancing."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"Fortinet offers the latest versions to cater to the needs of enterprises."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are user-friendliness, price, good security, and cloud-related options."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The technical support is good."
"Fortinet needs to overhaul its documentation."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Its price could be better."
"It should come integrated or have its own type of network monitor tool in a module. There should just be one package, and you are good to go."
"The solution lacks multi-language support."
"Currently, without the additional reporting module, we only have access to basic reporting."
"The solution could be more secure and stable."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
