"The reliable strength of the most reliable network"
5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

In search to save our network of daily cyber attacks under the defenses of a reliable and efficient firewall, Fortinet takes out a series of exclusive devices to be firewalls of first line. With these devices, by the way the best sellers worldwide, is a series of great prominence and promises. Under a series of different versions, such as 60D, 60E, 100D and 100E. We can apply profitable security policies such as guarding servers, and Internet browsing policies with a unified threat management application. Firewall I dedicate it as the first option to buy equipment worldwide, without neglecting others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

The only error of the tool is the license of the tool, since the majority of the unified management of dawns, works under a contract license, in case of not being active, it proceeds to remove from each security policy these security profiles. However, the tool is the only one in the world the most recognized and sold, it fulfills its work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best security product"
5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

The Fortinet family has the best security suite in the market, each product is adjusted to the needs of the consumer being practical at the time of implementation.

I have had the goodness to use Zyxell, ASA and Fortinet products, considering that FortiGate is characterized by being easy to implement.

The implementation of FortiGate firewalls according to the business model of the company in simple to install, configure and manage. I like the firewall FortiGate is that it integrates modules of antivirus, anti-spam, web filtering, application control, load balancer, intruder prevention, web application firewall, wifi, VPN, Voip and various modules that you can activate manually and with a valid license.

In the company we usually use web filtering, application control, IPS, DNS and VPN in conjunction with rules parameterized by profiles according to the Active Directory tree. It has the connection between the firewall and the active directory of the company, each user has a navigation profile and according to the rules of the Fortigate allows or denies according to the circumstances.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

Fortinet FortiGate products are excellent except that the firmware of the same at the time of leaving come out with errors that come in previous versions. From my point of view they should correct all the errors before releasing a new firmware version since when doing a version change control in a company it can have a positive or negative impact due to the possible errors that the firmware has, however, it is not an impediment to not use the product, it is just a matter of testing the firmware very well before taking it out in production at the company.

"The best security device than the known"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

The best ones are the UTM because of the great customization that can be given, you can create different UTM where it blocks unauthorized access to web pages, use of applications in the cloud, it prevents the download of potentially malicious files, the protection that gives the antivirus all this coupled with the easy versatility that implements in security policies.

Another aspect that highlights the fortinet are the updates it receives from Fortiguard and keeps updated the engines of the antivirus and ISP.

The motivated fortiview is very helpful to summarize the traffic of the connected equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

Fortinet does not properly recognize the mobile devices in the DHCP monitor. I have found that some phones he considers them as Linux devices and not Android.

They should add more load balancing algorithms in the SD-WAN.

In the web interface of Fortinet does not allow to modify the hello and death times in the OSPF algorithm. To modify it must be entered by console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Risk solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

This firewall is the most complete device in the entire labor market, because it helps you reduce the number of daily threats. Additionally, it is a veteran sniffer. It helps to centralize the monitoring of daily risks. In my experience, it has helped me to solve virus problems in the company where I work. Additionally, as a router, it has many guaranteed functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

I do not like the licensing because without it most of the UTM cannot be applied. For this reason, I must be aware of having a backup or redundant device. Additionally, the electrical issue is delicate, since it can sometimes lose the operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good value, but a little quirky"
4/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

Fortinet provides a very broad feature set. FIPS crypto for a great price. Very granular control. The online vendor provided "cookbooks" provided by vendor are especially useful, as a new user of the product. The combination of versatility, stability, and price have made it a good solution for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

The GUI provides limited access to features. Command line becomes necessary when deviating from standard settings. For example, RADIUS servers running on alternate ports? The command line is workable and structured, for coming from a Cisco IOS background, the fortinet doesn't seem quite as refined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
