Fortigate VM keeps the boundary of our virtual environments secure.

not limited to forti VM, but fortinets quality control on patches can leave a little to be desired. not the end of the world if you pay attention, but perhaps isn't as robust as other vendors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FortiGate: The Best There Is"
5/5
What do you like best about FortiGate-VM NGFW?

Fortinet has such an easy UI to navigate; it makes networking much easier for my environment.

Setting up remote sites to connect to the main site has never been easier, our entire infrastructure is Fortinet so we configure, monitor and use it every single day.

Support is quick and very knowledgeable and helps us with networking issues.

There are a ton of features that we use and some that we are very interested in getting (AI integration).

It is very simple and easy to add multiple new Fortinet devices to the environment.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a networking and security solution for their work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiGate-VM NGFW?

At times, FortiGate can be slow and have some bugs that are quite annoying, but they are quick to release patches to fix issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
