We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine.""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.""The documentation has been satisfactory.""I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details.""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.""The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable.""The role-based access controls give us granular control over what features to present to a customer, and the integration into FortiAnalyzer is the most valuable feature."

"Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""We do not have any issues stability-wise.""It is stable for fault and availability.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""A good enterprise-level solution.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment.""The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors.""It is a scalable product."

Cons
"There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity.""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.""Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security.""The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires.""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.""The solution is more expensive than other products.""Fingerprint access security would improve this solution."

"Only to improve the GUI.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations.""The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
