Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used.""The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface.""The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well.""The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects.""It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability.""The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."

Cons
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet.""Some use case analyses could be improved.""We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption.""I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL.""They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly.""The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's relatively inexpensive in comparison to everything else that has the same functionality. If you're looking at SonicWall or if you're looking at WatchGuard, their prices are about a third higher with relatively the same functionality."
  • "It is not expensive."
  • "In the licensing model, the licenses are a little bit expensive."
  • "The cost needs to be reduced."
  • "It is not costly."
