Fortigate Firewalls are strong protection

Reviewed on 01/04/2024

Fortigate perform very well and provide very good protection compared with other devices.

Fortigate perform very well and provide very good protection compared with other devices.

Pros

Fortiguard updates are excellent and the device is easy to use.

Cons

Some models that are not EOL are not getting OS updates with no explanation. If the product is not EOL it should get updates no excuses!
In 2023 some of thelocal services have had a number of nasty vulnerabilities, coding should be better and protection of local services should be enhanced.

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.

It is exceptional. For the enterprise space, there is nothing better.

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.

Although FortiGate has GUI, many of the features still rely on CLi to unlock or configure. 3 different path of firmware can be confusing.
