"Both the internal firewall management and the cloud can be managed by a single console."
"We were able to protect our web servers from outside attacks."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"L-7 protection makes possible to protect legacy/not up-to-date servers/applications without changing the application code."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"What we like about Fortinet FortiWeb is it has all the features. We use all of them, so we have to turn on all the options."
"FortiWeb provides the level of security we need at an excellent price point. It's easy to deploy and operationally efficient."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"The F5 solution has more features than Fortinet FortiWeb, such as multiple load balancing."
"In my experience, Fortinet FortiWeb could improve the intelligent features to acknowledge whether any threat or incident that's running happened. Then give us the ability to escalate it to layer 2 or layer 3 in the network operations."
"They can introduce a scaled-down version for the SMB market. It would be very competitive in the environment."
"Lacks functionalities that are available in other solutions."
"Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs."
"For advanced users, it would be really useful to have access and the ability to manipulate packets. If we can access and manipulate the contents of packets, even encrypted packets... that would be powerful. Since we're looking at packets arriving at our network, we would have the private key to access those packets and their information."
"The solution is rather complicated. If you know what to do, it's not bad, but it's complicated for a first time user to configure the solution. What I'd like to improve are the custom signatures."
"I know that we have run into some issues with an SSL certificate and how it functions. Sometimes this breaks connectivity or just limits certain websites that are whitelisted."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
