"Fortinet Firewall: a REAL firewall against intrusions"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fortinet Firewalls?

Fortinet Firewall is highly integrative, protects against a whole bunch of intrusion attempts, stops malware, allows for web filtering, and, most importantly, can be deployed locally on a locally dedicated machine or as a virtual environment. When you install the FORTICLIENT alongside it, you get a more robust barrier that stops IP attacks and viruses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fortinet Firewalls?

I think that there is room for improvement in the log system. Also, the application could use some "simplification" on the installation side of it. Sometimes, the interface seems to just hang; no idea why; it just does. In any case, there is always room for improvement regarding security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
