We performed a comparison between Azure Front Door and Fortinet FortiWeb based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The most valuable feature is that you can implement resources globally. It does not depend on location and ability or something like that. This is to connect clients around the world."
"The web application firewall is a great feature."
"Rules Engine is a valuable feature."
"I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable."
"The solution is good."
"Built-in security templates, AV integrated, strong threat intelligence."
"FortiGate is a stable product."
"The support services, performance, and pricing are all valuable features. The performance is excellent."
"The valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb vulnerability scanner"
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the ease of integration and configuration."
"I like FortiWeb's usability and ease of configuration. It's simple to configure rules and exceptions inside the attack log. We block everything by default. If something isn't working, we ask the system admin to adjust the template and add exceptions."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system."
"There is room for improvement and they're working on it."
"It lacks sufficient functionality."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"The product needs to improve its latency."
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"I'm responsible for the governance and cost control of Azure. I'm not a specialist in any products and therefore I couldn't really speak effectively to features that are lacking or missing."
"A user interface or dashboard for troubleshooting is needed."
"For advanced users, it would be really useful to have access and the ability to manipulate packets. If we can access and manipulate the contents of packets, even encrypted packets... that would be powerful. Since we're looking at packets arriving at our network, we would have the private key to access those packets and their information."
"I know that we have run into some issues with an SSL certificate and how it functions. Sometimes this breaks connectivity or just limits certain websites that are whitelisted."
"Their documentation is fairly complete, but it's sometimes a little bit difficult to search for exactly what you're looking for to resolve an issue. There have been times when we've gone to try to search for areas that we needed to get information on, and it has not always been extremely clear exactly how a particular thing needs to be set up."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"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."
"I would like to see more improvements with respect to threat intelligence."
"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
