"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 product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.)."
"The support is quite good."
"The solution has a good sandbox feature."
"The most valuable feature is that this product represents a whole solution, including a WAF, and even anti-defacements."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Fail-Open."
"The most important feature of this solution is protection from attack."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"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."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."
"The dashboard evaluating the performance of each application connected to the web app's firewall is quite helpful, but the tool is only available in application performance management. So I think if Fortinet could better integrate that particular feature, it would add a lot of value to the product."

"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
"The solution could offer more integration opportunities."
"Their support needs improvement."
