Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"FortiWeb is easy to operate with a reasonably high level of protection. FortiWeb provides multiple deployment options with a physical or virtual (FortiWeb-VM) appliance, and acts either as a reverse/transparent proxy or out-of-band. It is also available on AWS and Azure."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well."
"I like FortiWeb's usability and ease of configuration. It's simple to configure rules and exceptions inside the attack log. We block everything by default. If something isn't working, we ask the system admin to adjust the template and add exceptions."
"We find that it is quite stable and reliable."
"It's the extra security that is the most valuable feature. You have insight into your traffic. There are some great insights into what utilities hackers are trying to exploit. It blocks a lot of stuff from the internet."
"FortiWeb's ease of deployment is what we liked the most about it. Implementing FortiWeb was extremely fast and easy, which was a significant advantage. It comes with several preconfigured rule sets and templates."
"When we had Cisco we had around thirty thousand entries on our firewalls. Now we are down to three thousand. Fortinet has a mechanism to detect all of your entries which are not used, and it can clean it up."
"This product is very user-friendly."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"The web interface could be much better."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"I would like to see more improvements with respect to threat intelligence."
"Their support needs improvement."
"It would also be helpful if they could introduce easier reporting. It's good to have those reports that go to C-level management, and Fortinet does provide some graphs, but if they went into some more detail, that would be great."
"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."
"A better load balancer is needed when multiple servers are used for the same website."
"We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them."
"FortiGate could be improved on the security end because we've had some incidents with the customer. Otherwise, there is no problem."
"The dashboards are not that configurable. Application-specific dashboards can be improved. If we have 50 applications, there should be something to see what's happening with these 50 applications. There could be a graph or a consolidated alert page where all alerts are inbuilt. They have other products that I can use, but this feature should be built into FortiWeb."
