Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The features that prevent internet connections, the filtering are the most valuable because we did not have any internet protection before."
"The most important feature, normally for small business customers, is link load balancing."
"FortiGate has a very strong unified threat management system."
"I like how we can achieve total integration."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The scalability is good in Fortinet FortiGate."
"The multi-tenancy feature is most valuable. It integrates very well with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The VDOM (Virtual DOM) is a virtualized firewall that has some opportunities for flexibility that are an advantage in certain configurations."
"Compared to other firewalls, the segmentation is much easier in FortiGate."
"I like its configuration and the various functions it offers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution would be the caching feature."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"What I like about this solution, is that it is the only solution that currently offers VPN for clients."
"The solution is very user friendly."
"The technical support is very good and the assistance they gave was very good."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. It should have some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities and some degree of customization. The basic reporting that it currently has is not sufficient to create more usable reports. It needs some sort of out-of-the-box reporting. They try to make customers purchase FortiAnalyzer for this kind of reporting, which is an additional cost. Other firewall vendors, such as SonicWall and Sophos, provide this sort of reporting without any additional cost."
"Fortinet should focus on enhancing the capabilities of FortiGate by consolidating its various products, such as FortiGate Cloud, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer."
"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 solution needs to improve its integration with cybersecurity."
"The graphical user interface of Fortinet's FortiGate product does not function well with text-based interfaces."
"MTBF: Hardware failure is more common when compared to SonicWall or Cisco ASA."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."
"The reporting for this solution could be improved. It could also be more stable and offer better pricing."
"FortiOS could provide a more detailed analysis of the network and connected devices."
"There are some issues with the performance. We also had some issues while updating the firmware."
"FortiOS doesn't work well with all browsers. I think they need to do a better job of making it compatible with the various browsers that are out there."
"The report and policy optimization tools can be improved in the next release."
"I can only compare it with SonicWall, and it is missing many advanced features that SonicWall has."
"Fortinet FortiOS can improve the GUI and remove the command line interface. All the functionality should be available from the GUI. Day-to-day management can be tough for IT administrators. Additionally, the reporting is not very good."
"It would be better if AWS instances were available. If I want to upgrade from T2.small to T2.medium, it should be available rather than having a big instance and paying a lot of money for that. The issue is that we had deployed in AWS Cloud, and we were using a very small instance. Recently we wanted to move in-house and deploy it on the big instance because it was struggling with the RAM. If we use T2.small, we cannot upgrade it to the T2.medium. It has predefined instances in the marketplace with a lot of cost differences. If I can increase the RAM, I have to choose the T3.large instance. If I'm paying $270 for the small instance, I have to pay more than double the cost for T3.large. It is about $850, and this is not good. So, it would be better if it was cheaper. I think both AWS and Fortinet should think about that. They should provide it on lower instances as well. If I want to upgrade it from T2.small to T2.medium, it should be available, but it's a problem."
