What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?

Fortinet Firewall Platform differs from other software because it has robust and efficient characteristics, it offers protection against threats for small, medium or large companies, it has much more in-depth content inspection capabilities, generating the advantage of distinguishing or identifying attacks, malware, threats external and internal so that they are blocked and the business network is not under threat, because its firewall not only blocks threats but also provides scalable solutions, that is, it remains in constant evolution so that as new threats arise the network continues to be protected, it also gives the user a simple and intuitive interface so that it is not necessary to invest in training to operate it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this Fortinet platform is how simple it is to use and how scalable it is, as it allows you to keep your network secure as new threats emerge, plus the fact that your firewall carries out a network inspection. of what enters and leaves at a high speed so that there is only threat-free traffic, said process being totally stable since it does not generate any discomfort because it does not generate long downtime.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Its configuration can be somewhat complex, but this is only if the person has never used any type of similar software, in addition, their local solution does not have very solid algorithms.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This software has a fairly simple and pleasant graphical interface but its initial configuration is somewhat complex so something that could be helpful is to go to its video instead of reading its documentation, but it is still a software that will allow you to maintain a business network with stable and legitimate traffic as it inspects and identifies threats and provides scalable solutions.

Pros

  • Saves Time
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?

This Fortinet software differs from others because it offers protection against threats regardless of the size of the company, as it covers from small to large companies, provides highly advanced threat detection, including encrypted traffic, offers ultra low latency to protect network segments, responds to known and unknown threats, in addition to allowing threats to be shared throughout the IT security infrastructure to provide fast and automated protection so that the attack is as minimal as possible.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this software is that it constantly conducts enterprise level threat checking and takes appropriate measures to keep the network secure, as well as being simple to implement, and can protect against threats ranging from malicious software, combined network attacks email, intrusions and even pharming attacks, all this allows business networks to be kept safe and free from threats that can cause great damage to their infrastructure.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some aspects of its implementation can be somewhat confusing, especially for users who have little knowledge in this area, besides that its centralized management also requires improvements that allow a simpler use for the user.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This software has lagged behind a bit in terms of features in the cloud, but little by little it has been improving this aspect so if you are looking for software that provides advanced and scalable protection this is a good option.

  • Effective Service
