What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?

We can use a lot of the functionality. Our main tools are the web filter and application control. Fortinet Fortigate provides effective reporting. Our reports come from there. I don't have to customize them if I don't want to because there are excellent templates available. Additionally, we have a VPN capability that enables connections and bypasses firewalls for our remote users.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that Fortinet Fortigate may be used on-premises or in the cloud is one of its appealing features. We find value in the solution's simplicity of setup. The product's single pane of management was one of the factors that prompted me to start using it. I can set up their switching and access points together with their line of firewalls, and I can control the entire network from a single interface.

What do you dislike most about this product?

In my opinion, FortiGate NGFW is moving in the right direction. I have no complaints about this product. Our systems are secure at all times. Our IT experts can continue working efficiently with the help of this tool. The management of threats is accurate. Users may easily configure and deploy it because of its straightforward design.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Fortinet Fortigate is without a doubt suited for every business or corporation because this powerful platform provides much more than just security. The first is offering excellent security against unidentified online attacks. The FortiGate firewall aids in establishing a secure VPN connection between the branches. Additional security aspects include IPS, IDS, antivirus software, and others.
