"The most valuable features in Fortinet FortiWeb are sandboxing and threat prevention."
"It is a good product. We have just blocked everything coming from some geographical locations or certain countries, and it has been working very efficiently when I look at logs, events, and incidents generated from the system. It is generating very good analytic reports about it. This is the most valuable thing about this solution. It has load balancing and almost everything that a web application firewall needs. It is very flexible and easy to learn and configure. It can be easily learned and configured by using the information available on different channels such as YouTube."
"The GUI is user-friendly and it's easy to understand how to manage it."

"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The web interface could be much better."
"Fortinet WAF came out recently, and there is not much feedback about customer experience. For each project, customers ask about the scenarios and references of the customers who have implemented this solution, which we don't have. They need to simplify the customer experience and provide more information so that we can propose Fortinet Fortiweb as a WAF solution to customers and convince them. They need to improve their service and training. We need good training to implement and use it properly and know more about it. We still don't know much about Fortinet WAF. We didn't get any proper training sessions. Other vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto, Check Point, and Barracuda provide such sessions. Whenever we receive a request from a customer for this solution, we just give the price. We don't propose this solution because we don't know much about it. We propose whatever we are familiar with and what is supported."
"The product’s stability could be improved."
"The GUI could be better. It's limited."
"FortiWeb needs to have support for the newest technology being used in web applications."
"Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs."
"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
"I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
