FortiGuard Labs Outbreak Alerts Reviews & Product Details

The way it defines the website is to put them in a category. Also, I like how they make experiments with zero-day malware to release a patch to all the FortiGate, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, they take a long time when a firmware exploit is publicly known or when a bug is discovered in some version. Also, they don't pay attention when you submit a website to recategorize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not subscribe, but this is literally a human rights abuse. My school used this to block a lot of innocent websites, making my school the same as North Korea. There is nothing good about this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost everything. It has blocked a lot of innocent websites, and the entire school hates it. It claims to be a security thingy, but I still got hacked even after my school installed it. If possible, I hope that they stop the web filter and focus only on genuine security, and quit the stupid web filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that I particularly dislike about this service at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about FortiGuard Security Subscriptions are the reliability, the peace of mind, and great (fast) customer service & support I receive. There are many security subscription solutions out there, but few cover all the areas as well as FortiNet does through its FortiGaurd product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I can point to for a dislike is the use of the third-party reseller for subscriptions. Ours was less than timely in responsiveness and sometimes this can cause small hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The set up is incredibly quick and straight forward. Once the license is registered, the initial rule set provided by default only needed a small bit of tweaking to ensure the correct services were blocked or allowed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pathing to get to some of the sub menus seemed to be a little cumbersome but once I got familiar with where things were in the 6.0.6 interface the problem resolved itself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The report and tips are excellent in FortiGuard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd prefer it was free to have FortiGuard, but alas no. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FortiGuard uses some of the newest technologies in order to update and dynamically check / block websites that are deemed inappropriate this means that almost all websites are blocked even if they have never been scanned before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FortiGuard gives us very strong protection against site. However in some instances the system can be far too aggressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The granularity that it provides us to block adds, video, flash etc on a page is great thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gets expensive for a small or midsize organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general, I am committed to Forti. Since I started working at a call center 2 years ago, I have implemented everything in the company Forti. They are friendly in terms of configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing displeases me about this product or licensing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The wide range of options from a 360 perspective FortiGuard Security Subscriptions offers advanced threat protection that allows you to keep your enterprise, mid-size company, or branch office safe with application control, antispam, AV services with real-time protection and signature updates, domain reputation service, web filtering, and my favorite option, IPS, which prevents and identifies threats before they land or gain access to your network.

Since FortiGuard Security Subscriptions are incorporated as a bundled product, the lack of initial options to customize their range or even the subscription plans, i.e., 4 years of subscription before your appliance completes its life-cycle, I really don't like that inflexible scheme of the product licensing. I would prefer to have the chance to customize the services on-premise. I really don't like the downtime after an Internet disconnection; the Subscription sometimes takes more than 4 hours to sync back again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
