Troubleshooting is not easy as I expected. There is a console interface for low level troubleshooting but it is not generic command line interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thought to satisfy the needs in high level of security, its functions of firewall and VPN are very veratile as its security operating system is very powerful and easy to understand its abstraction.

I like its system that can detect and eliminate viruses, worms and other content-based threats, without affecting the performance of the network, even for real-time applications such as Web browsing.

configure security policies is very simple, you do not need to be an expert in firewall or be an expert in networks, Fortinet has functions of identification and implementation of a journey from the dashboard.

If the license expires, it does not affect its operation, so it is reliable,

there is documentation on the manufacturer's website if specific support is required

When it comes to processing high traffic at peak hours its processors tend to increase the load and the network becomes unstable as elemnto vpn in layer 3 towards other devices is very basic does not comply with the functions in purchase to other network prodíucts.

Your vpn client software leaves a lot to be desired.

does not support high traffic coming from storage boxes it is not recommended that the traffic go through this element Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fortinet Firewalls stand out for providing security to the network infrastructure. Winners and leaders of the Gartner quadrant in security and other areas of networks. Currently we have a series of Fortinet equipment in the company that ensures the operation of the companies and branches. We have three perimeter equipment of the E series, one 50OE and two 200E. The 500E has been our perimeter firewall protecting the LAN filtering services between networks with this we guarantee the basic services of a computer and avoid exposures of idle open ports, infiltration of viruses, Ransomware and derivatives, as well as internal attacks, not only We take care of the internal network but also the team gives us access to the WAN network through the multiple ISPs that we have in the company, based on web profiles in conjunction with the active directory of the organization.

One of the 200E is used by the organization's web publications, so we keep the company's portal in the cloud and access it from the Internet, nothing better than a Fortinet firewall to guarantee the security of our attackers' web portals. The other 200E equipment is backed up in an alternate data center when the 500E Maintenance fails or is redirected to that equipment without losing the operation of the company.

Until now, the Fortinet firewalls I recommend them fully fit all the needs of any company, if you want security, you must invest in Fortinet equipment. Maybe they are not the cheapest in the market but if trajectory makes it very clear because they are the leaders in innovation in perimeter security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fortinet firewalls are the best firewalls in the technology industry. They provide an amazing advantage when implementing enterprise security. The UTM are a great help to ensure the security of users to Intenert as well as the LAN, the implementation of UTM Antivirus, web Filiter and Application Control are a great trio since you can be totally granular with what you want to block and / or allow.

You can add a touch more security if for example you want to avoid downloading executable files, videos, images, music or certain files that you think may be dangerous for the company by adding to the policies the Data Leak Prevention UTM. You can also control the DNS with DNS Filter, add an Anti-Spam and Intrusion Prevention.

In addition to using the UTM to provide security you can use directly in the policies something called Internet Service which contains a list of the largest Internet services such as you can block all Facebook services or allow all Amazon services, this is of great help for filtering in general.

What I do not like about the fortinet firewalls are the high costs of their equipment as well as the FortiOS licenses. Additionally, the new FortiOS firmware is coming up with many errors that may affect the company's operations. From my own experience, when I upgraded a version 5.4 from version 5.4 to version 5.6.2, I had to do an emergency downgrade since SD-WAN was not doing its job well.

Fortinet firewalls stand out as the best in ensuring perimeter security in a corporate network. It has various equipment adapted to the needs of small, large or medium-sized companies. Currently they go for the F series being ultra advanced technology equipment being the best of the best of Fortinet firewalls.

Recently, teams of the E series were purchased, which are classified at the initial level, since they are destined for regional branches, which will maintain the security of the network against attacks by cybercriminals who want to compromise the infrastructure of the organization. The team will be implemented to do routing + UTM + Firewall, it can comfortably perform these tasks.

As routing will handle OSPF and VLANs of the regional office, coupled with this will be supported by security policies that allow or deny LAN traffic input or output based on services, additional policies will be used to allow or deny traffic to the Internet , implement an MPLS connection, ability to apply web filtering, web application filtering, antivirus, antispam, deep packet inspection and holder of a VPN with the purpose of redundancy when the MPLS connection is dropped.

The visualization of the logs is not very optimized, it lacks more information than showing that it helps solving problems, it can be solved with a Fortianalyzer, however, you want a product of this type the strong not only be security perimeter but the ability to see clearly and easily what is happening in the network without resorting to tools or equipment from third parties or from the same brand.

Fortinet firewalls are products that promote the proper use of the internet within a network, granting protection against cybercriminals, protection against attacks on the web, reducing the possible impact of rasomware, avoiding cyber attacks on the internal network (PC, cell phones, and other devices). BYOD), not only can you focus on avoiding attacks from the external network (Internet) but also internally (LAN), everything depends on the infrastructure in which the firewall is located.

At a general level Fortinet in recent years has been highlighted as the best enterprise network security solution leading the Gartner quadrant against other competitors of the height of Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda, Check Point, Watch Guard, among others standing out in the aspect of providing a stable security solution, innovative engineering with its FortiOS operating system, innovative high-performance network security with its classic UTM and constantly evolving threats that come out every day having a branch dedicated to this called FortGuard Labs.

In general aspects, Fortinet firewalls shield the network from all internal and internal threats if and only if you have the right knowledge to optimize the equipment. The implementation of a Fortinet technology is extremely simple, its installation, configuration and administration is easy, intuitive, very graphic and with enough reading material that can cover the needs of the company.

In my company we have several solutions that include firewalls, load balancers, management tools and logs analysis, all of them belonging to Fortinet and working together for different purposes (main firewall, firewall dedicated to the protection of web publications, redundancy of ISP, VPN, emergency firewall and log analyzer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of their equipment is high and to build a Fortinet infrastructure (access layer, distribution, access, e-mail protection, web page protection, sandbox, wifi, among other products) you have to invest a lot of capital. Beware the capital invested is nothing compared to a Cisco solution that is double or triple the cost of Fortinet in certain aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found Fortinet Firewalls to have an exceptionally easy GUI to work with and that is what I like best about them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is that the FortiConverter does not always move everything correctly to the new firewall Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fortinet firewalls are robust equipment that adapts to the needs of the company.

The company acquired a FortiGate of the 100E series, which are next-generation firewalls for medium-sized companies, providing protection against network threats with high-performance processors dedicated to network security.

Regarding what Fortinet excels in, I can say the following: in terms of security, it can identify hundreds of applications on the network, perform deep inspections validating each packet to determine if it is suspicious or not according to the UTM policy. It protects against malware, exploits, malicious sites, and known attacks using FortiGuard's artificial intelligence.

To be efficient in the area of security and networking, these new next-generation firewalls have a security processor (SPU) that protects against threats with minimal latency in packet processing.

No less is expected from Fortinet teams regarding the network section; they offer extensive routing, packet switching, high performance, and VPN capabilities, along with an easy-to-administer and intuitive console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the prices of FortiGate products are high, as are their licenses and accessories, however, like everything else in the world, good things come out expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most attractive thing is the administration of the team through GIU that allows to manage all the tools (routing, access policies, vpn, email filter, web filter, app control ...) in a friendly way also provides perimeter security to the network quite robust.

The traces of updating, since many pages of Internet with the constant growth of the same one make use of different tools that the firewall many times for not having these updated those catalogued as unknown or sometimes malicious and depending on their configuration blocks them.

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.

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.
