On-premises deployment and excellent log details make this product valuable

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is, first of all, as a two-factor VPN for enhanced access security. We use this product to provide secure access for all of our employees. Our other use cases have to do with using FortiAuthenticator for other security projects which includes things like access to some important web applications.

Pros and Cons

  • "The logs have great detail that make it easier to evaluate and control the security environment."
  • "It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Authenticator as about a seven-point-five. If it has to be seven or eight, I would choose eight. I have not used many products in that category with our site, but we can do what we want and need to do with that product.

Secure with a very clean user interface and sandbox feature

What is our primary use case?

The solution provides security for our mail system. We're a group of companies, mainly dealing with car importation and distribution, and I'm the CIO.

Pros and Cons

  • "Clean user interface and good sandbox."
  • "The statistics and BI in general could be improved."

What other advice do I have?

It's important to know what you're aiming for beforehand and what your environment needs in terms of implementation. It requires being very explicit so you can know what to set up with it. Things such as rules and domains that you can work with. You have to know your environment well. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

    Don't underestimate FortiAnalyzer. It can give you a better understanding of what is going on in your network.

    What is our primary use case?

    We used FG-90D as UTM device to protect some users and servers, and also to enable inter-vlan routing with advanced security policies inside our lab zone. Also used FG-500D in transparent mode in front of Cisco ASA for advanced and high performance protection by applying IPS, AV, AntiSpam, App.Control and DoS-protection profiles.

    Pros and Cons

    • "Advanced routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, PBR). It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network."
    • "I think there could be more QoS features"

    What other advice do I have?

    Many interesting things are hidden in CLI, they can help you in different situations. Web-interface (GUI) is primarily intended for day-to-day routine. Don't underestimate FortiAnalyzer. It can give you a better understanding of what is going on in your network. When FortiGate sends logs to FortiAnalyzer, FortiAnalyzer inserts received log data into database. Predefined and customizable data queries, charts and reports can significantly help you by visualizing problem points, so you can thoroughly investigate security events and traffic behavior anomalies. FortiGate is a constantly evolving…

    Stable with a simple deployment and lots of extra features

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for configuration and structuring policy.

    Pros and Cons

    • "The solution has a very simple deployment."
    • "It may be better if it were easier to create roles."

    What other advice do I have?

    We're using the latest version of the solution. Usually, for our security programs, I'm using on-prem. For now, in my experience, the typical Indonesian customer is using on-prem, as they worry about using the cloud, as the data cannot be stored in HR and it's actually often stored in another country. It's my understanding that we'll continue to use the solution for a while to come. Overall, I would recommend the product. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at an eight. If it had a better interface and/or better pricing, I might rate it a bit higher.
