It's a stable and scalable product.""Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features.""It has improved our organization with control data.""The main reason why I purchased the particular unit was that it had good reviews and what other people were saying as far as its completeness and its leading capabilities in terms of endpoint security was very good.""The security fabric is excellent.""It is very flexible to use.""Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."

More Hillstone CloudEdge Pros →

"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure.""Huawei support is excellent. I rate it 10 out of 10.""It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet.""The solution's initial setup process is easy.""I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation.""The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations.""The solution's implementation is pretty easy.""We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."

Cons
"It could use more templates for third-party site-to-site VPN setups other than FortiGate and Cisco.""Some configuration elements cannot be easily altered once created.""Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution.""The Wi-Fi controller needs a lot of improvement.""The user interface could be improved.""I have to say that the initial setup was complex. The deployment took a few days to get set up. Initially, we were using an IPVanish. We switched to this tool since we thought it would be easier. But it turns out it wasn't easier to set up and run.""The scalability could be better.""If they had better integration with security products, such as Cisco ISE or Rapid Threat Containment, then it would be an improvement."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"The solution needs more granular level reporting on system usage."

More Hillstone CloudEdge Cons →

"The solution could be cheaper.""The solution could be more secure and have better integration.""There needs to be more security equipment for the solution.""The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click.""The solution does not have sandboxing features.""The WAF capability in the Huawei Firewall is missing.""The solution isn't cheap. It's market price.""The tool does not have web functionality. It needs to also have high end firewalls."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
  • "These boxes are not that expensive compared to what they can do, their functionality, and the reporting you receive. Fortinet licensing is straightforward and less confusing compared to Cisco."
  • "Go for long term pricing negotiated at the time of purchase."
  • "Work through partners for the best pricing."
  • "The value is the capability of having multiple services with one unique license, not having the limitation per user licensing schema, like other vendors."
  • "Easy to understand licensing requirements."
  • "​We saved a bundle by not needing all the past appliances from an NGFW.​"
  • "The cost is too high... They have to focus on more features with less cost for the customer. If you see the market, where it's going, there are a lot of players offering more features for less cost."

  • "I believe that we are entitled to a one-year extension on our licensing."
  • "The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
