Good Cloud based management platform. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neelam C. | Team Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiPortal?** The good thing is that we can manage all the security and wireless things from a single platform, connect it to other Fortinet equipment, and manage them from the same. And We can manage, configure, and troubleshoot wireless and security issue from a single portal. **What do you dislike about FortiPortal?** I/We have been using this FortiPortal and luckily did not find any issue related to this portal, so I do not have any dislike at this point. Of course, there is always a chance to improve the portal but there is no dislike at this point. **What problems is FortiPortal solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had no tools before where we could manage all the security and network devices from a single portal, and we had faced many issues with managing everything. Once we started using the Portiportal, almost all the issues were gone. Now we can manage all the Cloud-based Security Policies and wireless from a single platform provided by Fortinet. ### 2. Fortiportal's era **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neel S. | Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiPortal?** In terms of health and updates, it performs a little bit better than some of the other goods. It is very obvious that a firewall is receiving the updated signatures during this time. You typically need to navigate through a few screens in some of the other products to see that, but not as much in this one. **What do you dislike about FortiPortal?** "Their logging is a bit more challenging for me to handle. There are numerous categories used to group events for logging. I prefer to gather all the occurrences in one location before filtering them rather than dividing my logs into numerous distinct locations. Due to those functional breakups in the logs, I specifically find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer." **What problems is FortiPortal solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's excellent that it tries to give you access to a single console for monitoring your firewalls' activity and DDoS attacks across all of your environments. Typically, a cloud-based solution is used. You might be able to access it from home to check on the status of items or receive notifications, such as when your email system goes down. This depends on how it is built. ### 3. FortiPortal: not my first option **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joseph A. | Cyber Security Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiPortal?** Updates are regular, very robust, and powerful, with comprehensive scanning of the servers. Overall, it's a good firewall protection system that will keep you and your data safe. **What do you dislike about FortiPortal?** FortiPortal is kind of complicated to use and set up. Also, it cannot be installed on standalone computers and can be only used with servers. Heavy on the machines and is a kind of memory hog. **What problems is FortiPortal solving and how is that benefiting you?** In this day and age, with everything being digital and online, a comprehensive firewall is needed to keep me and my data safe. FortiClient, FortiPortal's small brother, takes care of my laptop. ### 4. Straightforward and intuitive Firewall management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Philip N. | IT Programmer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiPortal?** Honestly the best thing has been the interaction between the engineering staff and my department. We have had Zoom meetings and helpful insight into the hardware we have purchased and the licensing demands. **What do you dislike about FortiPortal?** The beginning of the "customer support" inquiries was very hit and miss, it took awhile to develop a contact that will reliably return emails and help us with our needs. **What problems is FortiPortal solving and how is that benefiting you?** With FortiPortal we have established a prison education network for the State of Tennessee Department of Correction. ### 5.

The biggest con is the Price. $$$$$ which is why we ended up cancelling the service **What problems is FortiPortal solving and how is that benefiting you?** This was an upgrade from the older firewall/threat management the company previously had. Configuring was a bit more of an issue, but so far seems to be doing a better job ### 6.
