Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are lots of features and most of them are deployed for internet security. Users are protected if they accidentally go to some malicious sites."
"The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The solution is highly scalable because they have devices that can handle a large amount of traffic."
"The solution is stable."
"We use a southern institution that's audited for IT security and the reporting that automatically comes off the unit makes it much easier to meet compliance standards and makes it easier as far as the amount of time that has to be spent to compile that information. If you get your reporting set up correctly when you initially set it up, you just select the one you want and hit print. The auditing trail on it is the best feature."
"It can expand easily."
"It increases security posture and is helpful for firewall reporting, intrusion protection, web filtering, and SD-WAN implementation."
"The Fortinet FortiGate local partners were good. I did not have direct contact with Fortinet support."
"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"One of the problems I was having was with user mapping, and it is an issue for which I have escalated tickets with Fortinet support."
"There were quite a few problems with the stability of the system."
"The firewall engine is not so strong as of now, in my opinion... My second concern is that, while they have Zero-day vulnerability and anti-malware features, the threat engine needs to be strengthened, its efficiency can be increased."
"Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions."
"The solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"With the addition of some features, it is possible that FortiGate can be used in all verticals."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"The updates Fortinet provides are sometimes unstable."
"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
