We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications.""The product is easy to use and is stable. The SV1 functionality is a benefit.""It has very easy management and an amazing ETM configuration.""FortiGate Secure SD-WAN includes best-of-breed next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities, delivering a security-driven networking WAN edge transformation in a unified offering.""It's an easy solution to set up.""Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter.""I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration."

"I like that it works fine. Stormshield is a very good solution.""A very robust product.""The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price.""I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that.""Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution.""This solution is quick and easy to configure.""Easily manageable in a variety of environments.""The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."

Cons
"I would like to see better pricing in the next release, as well as a simplification of the installation.""If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement.""Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use.""It does not have key authentication for admin access.""Due to its higher cost, Fortinet FortiGate can lead to increased operational expenses.""The solution could be more evenly structured.""The price of FortiGate should be reduced because there are some other leading products that are cheaper.""The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"It should have excellent integration with the other security tools.""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."

More Check Point VPN-1 [EOL] Cons →

"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture.""This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved.""The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution.""A more user-friendly interface would be helpful.""The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me.""This is not a next-generation firewall.""It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well.""Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."

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."

  • "The pricing could be better."
  • "The price of this solution and the price of support are ok."
