"It is very flexible to use."
"It has improved our security capabilities."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable."
"The SD-WAN feature is the most valuable. This feature evolved from link load balancing. It has helped us in terms of our uptime and privatizing applications whenever we experience an outage. The SD-WAN feature has been a plus for us. Two-factor authentication has allowed us to add more users in terms of remote working. We have two-factor authentication for remote workers to authenticate them before they get on the network."
"Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"Its most outstanding feature is content filtering."
"VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."
"Technical support has been good."
"The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevent control over devices."
"It works well with a highly-active cluster."
"We did not have issues with scalabiliy."
"In terms of what could be improved, the SD-WAN is quite difficult, because if you install the new box, 15 is okay, but if you change from an old configuration, if there is already configuration and a policy when you change to SD-WAN, you must change the whole policy that you see in the interface."
"If they could extend their fabric towards other vendor environments for integration, that would be great."
"Scalability for Fortinet FortiGate needs to be improved. SD-WAN security for this solution also needs some improvement."
"For the migration, everyone has a firewall in use and I am selling Fortinet. Typically, I am replacing another firewall. Previously, there was a tool available to convert configurations from one firewall, such as Palo Alto, to Fortinet, but this tool is no longer free. If it could be made free again, it would be very beneficial."
"The user interface could be improved."
"They've become quite expensive."
"The license renewal process, annual renewal price, and the web application firewall features should be improved."
"There aren't really any negative aspects to discuss."
"The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
"Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
"It should have excellent integration with the other security 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."
"After some experience with the solution, we had to do some redesign, but generally, we were happy with the product."
