More Check Point VPN-1 [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"We'd like more management across other integrations.""Lacks sufficient security options.""Sometimes you do need to know some CLI commands, so it's a bit harder for technicians or new people that don't know it.""Fortinet FortiGate should improve the VPN tokens.""The way everything is set up could be easier. Currently, people need a lot of experience and knowledge to administer it and to link it to devices.""The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access.""It should be more stable. There should be full integration within Fortinet products themselves as well as with other third-party products. Especially when you're not dealing with SIEM and the correlation of the security box, we want Fortinet to be able to share that information with as many other products as it can.""The solution could be more secure and stable."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."

More Check Point Power-1 [EOL] Cons →

"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools.""Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly.""Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features.""It should have excellent integration with the other security tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
  • "These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
  • "Work through partners for the best pricing."
  • "The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
  • "Easy to understand licensing requirements."
  • "​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"
  • "The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."
