"Great option for your company"
5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

The integration with all Fortinet apps, the ease of managing devices, and the great support provided by the brand and its support team to resolve any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

Basically there's nothing wrong with the brand itself, maybe what I see is that there are certain "fortiapps" that ultimately repeat processes and might hinder the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable and easy to setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

The thing I like the most it's that it's very easy to understand and to use, but the most important, and the thing that I like the most it's that all the security features and settings are right there on the gui interface, you can setup an entire network without using commands on the cli, it's interface it's very complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

The thing I dislike the most, it's that all of the cool and useful security features are mostly licensed services, and old versions of this product are very vulnerable without these features and they tend to get obsolete on the Fortinet support spectrum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its web filtering tools assist in preventing users from accessing dangerous websites and keep them away from websites that pose a risk of infection or contain malware.

Malware, ransomware, zero-day attacks, and other emerging threats are among the advanced dangers it offers protection against. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

The hefty cost makes it unfavorable for small businesses. When integrating with an on-premises system, the administrator encounters difficulties. For a novice or non-technical person, its user interface may be a little complicated, but an expert may quickly become proficient with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
