Reliable and Feature Rich Security Solution
Reviewed on 15/02/2025
Pros
FortiGate NGFW is great product and I like most about deep packet inspection and AI based threat detection. Also easy it is to manage everything from a single dashboard. The integration with other Fortinet products helps with smooth workflow in our organisation.
Cons
Configuring of advanced features sometimes is a bit complex. Nothing apart at this moment.

Pros
FortiGate is THE enterprise solution. It has all the features that you would possibly want and more.
Cons
The price and the deployment. It is not a simple solution by any stretch. The price is worth it for the features, but if you are not at the level then rather look elsewhere.
