"Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.)."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"The GUI is user-friendly and it's easy to understand how to manage it."
"It is a stable product."
"FortiWeb provides the level of security we need at an excellent price point. It's easy to deploy and operationally efficient."
"It offers some feedback and suggestions that guide our system development while helping our vendors to update their applications and fix any issues or bugs."
"It scans all the components developed within a web application."
"I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues."
"It is really accurate and the rate of false positives is very low."
"The setup is usually straightforward."
"When it is set up properly, it can do scanning on web apps with multiple engines automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards."
"AppSpider's most valuable feature is reporting - everything is stored in the local database so it can be sent to other machines."
"What I like most about AppSpider is that it's easy to use and its automated scan gives me all the details I need to know when it comes to vulnerabilities and their solutions."
"HA Architecture needs improvement. I would improve it by working on AP HA."

"We would like the interface to be easier to use and more user-friendly. The interface needs to be enhanced."

So I think if Fortinet could better integrate that particular feature, it would add a lot of value to the product."
"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."
"One of the challenges I have with AppSpider is that it gives you a lot of false positives, especially when compared to other solutions."
"AppSpider could improve in the area of integration. They need to add more integration opportunities."
"There are some glitches with stability, and it is an area for improvement."
"This price of this solution is a little bit expensive."
"The tech support is responsive but issues remain unresolved."
"Support response times are slow and can be improved."
