Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the tool's controller facility.""It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product.""I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities.""The most valuable feature of this solution is application control.""I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details.""The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable.""The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers.""From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."

Cons
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security.""So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go.""The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity.""If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""The solution is more expensive than other products.""I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs.""It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."

More Fortinet FortiPortal Cons →

"The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""I would like to see additional modules included.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.""HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."
