Pros
"FortiGate is on the cheaper end, and it offers good value.""The next-generation firewall is great.""Security solution with a straightforward and quick setup. It's a stable and scalable product.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the analytics.""Consolidated our network environment at all locations, but mainly at our datacenter.""The solution is easy to configure and maintain remotely.""The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect.""FortiGate firewalls are easy to manage through a user-friendly web interface. They also have advanced features like DDoS and DLP. However, I wouldn't recommend enabling all of these features on one device because it can cause performance issues."

Cons
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved.""I use the FortiGate 60D model and realized the 300Mbps bandwidth limitation. Because it is a product that offers many services, I think it could have greater bandwidth capacity.""We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities.""They need to improve their technical support.""The feedback that I have received is that the performance could be better, and the user experience is not as good compared to a previous solution we used. It could be more user-friendly. Of course, it still works fine for our operations.""Fortinet could improve the windows opener or the virtual IP solutions for opening windows. The virtual IP settings need improvement as firewalls are trending in new development directions.""The Web-filter in this solution is not very good.""This product needs to have an analysis feature, rather than having the analysis done through the integration of a different product."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"I haven't seen any feature that will allow me direct authentication for a VPN solution."

More Comodo Dome Firewall [EOL] Cons →

"Support from Hillstone E-Series has a shortcoming that needs improvement.""Having frequent live webinars on a monthly basis would really help.""SSL VPN license cost is not cheap.""The tool provides just a general report. It does not provide a granular report. Hence, the tool should work on its reporting feature.""The tool needs to improve its price.""The current usage reporting is very basic.""I am not sure if this solution offers active directory integration. Adding that feature will definitely be an advantage.""The solution doesn't have a web proxy built into the system like Sophos. This is something they should work to change."

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."
