It has security features that are in part with the technologies that are available in the market.""It's super reliable. I don't think I've ever had a reliability issue with it.""The security features that they have are quite good.

Cons
"Lacks sufficient security options.""Fortinet FortiGate is a firewall solution and once it's deployed, you can rest assured that your system is secure.""The UI could be improved.""The logs need to be better. They need to be more visible and easier to access.""We were not able to build a full-mesh VPN; however, I am not sure if this was the fault of Fortinet FortiGate.""I feel that the reporting needs to be improved.""We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities.""I'm not sure if it's something that they already have or are developing something, however, we need some dedicated features for container security."

"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem.""They need to improve their alerts.""The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter.""While they offer a comprehensive bundled solution, some users may prefer on-premise deployments for certain features, such as URL filtering.""They should provide more details on potential cyber threats.""They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience.""I would like to see more sizing in the next release, and the roadmap should be clear.""The company should update the URL filtering database. They need to enhance the URL filtering and make it easier to customize."

More Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Cons →

"The solution should consider improving its licensing policies.""We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases.""The GUI interface needs improvement.""I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware.""The tool's basic license does not cover everything. It needs to improve visibility and availability.""The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices.""Juniper vSRX is expensive.""The solution's GUI needs improvement."

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."
  • More Fortinet FortiGate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The big advantage of this solution is that we can select the right model for our requirements, which is not too expensive."
  • "I believe the licensing fee is for one year, three years, and five years, or something like that. If you wants to increase the support level from a simpler level to platinum, I think that there's a cost. There are differences between every kind of support, but I don't know the numbers."
  • "We would love to take other solution from Forcepoint, but unfortunately the price is too high. That's why we are not considering using Forcepoing for our proxy and DLB. They have a very good DLB, but the matter in the end is the cost."
  • "Forcepoint is very expensive but it's really secure."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "The training that they offer to their end-customers. It's quite expensive, I believe it costs roughly $11,000"
  • "Everything in Forcepoint comes with an individual license, which is kind of a problem. In our last meeting, they said that it may change at the beginning of 2021, and they will try to merge some licenses together. Customers will get more features than what they got previously. We will wait and see."
  • "We have found the price could be reduced. It is a little expensive."

  • "Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
  • "We like pricing through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "It is not that costly."
  • "After some research, I think that the cost of Juniper is more than Check Point, Palo Alto, and Fortinet."
  • "As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
  • "The solution could have been cheaper."
