We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like that you are able to manage FortiGate from the FortiManager to create a more centralized environment.""One of the valuable features is a standardized OS.""The most valuable feature is the web filter.""I like Fortinet's cloud management. It allows me to manage all my devices in different branches for three cloud accounts. Even though I use on-prem devices, I can manage everything on the cloud.""The most valuable features of the solution are SD-WAN, filtering testing applications, web filtering, and the new VPN.""It blocks the vulnerabilities that can negatively impact us.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is the simple configuration.""The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."

"It's much faster to deploy a power source. If you need to deploy a firewall in the cloud of software, it's much easier and much faster than deploying the office firewall in a rush.""The pricing is reasonable.""It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature.""The technical support services are excellent.""The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality.""Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic.""It's a very powerful solution and the firewalls offer high performance""The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."

"Easily manageable in a variety of environments.""Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution.""I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that.""Ease of use is the best feature of the product.""I can see what traffic is going on. I can easily block any programs from attacks.""It's an easy, straightforward management platform to use.""This solution is quick and easy to configure.""The solution has improved my organization because I can see what traffic is happening and I can use it to block and prevent attacks."

Cons
"It would be good if they had fewer updates.""The support we receive when we need to upgrade is not satisfactory and has room for improvement.""Fortinet FortiGate could improve the user interface. There should be more functionality and options through the GUI.""The solution lacks sufficient filtering.""I would prefer to have more detailed logs within the FortiGate products themselves rather than relying on a separate tool.""The logging details need to be improved.""The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement.""We would like to have the ability to disable some of the security functionalities."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cons →

"They could provide support for cloud deployments.""Juniper vSRX is expensive.""We have some weird errors and some weird behavior on the solution occasionally. The device gets buggy without anyone touching it. It would work and then suddenly stop. Sometimes you need to just move the cards out and restart it again, and it will work. The solution itself, the hardware and the software, there must be some bugs that need to be dealt with.""I would like to see an activity sensor for malicious content or sensor for viruses and malware.""The solution's GUI needs improvement.""Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area.""The GUI interface needs improvement.""he stability could be improved."

More Juniper vSRX Cons →

"A more user-friendly interface would be helpful.""The SD card could be more secure.""Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer.""This is not a next-generation firewall.""The product must improve its pricing.""This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved.""With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture.""The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Fortinet has one or two license types, and the VPN numbers are only limited by the hardware chassis make."
